GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Louisiana Tech DE Jaylon Ferguson vs. MSU pass blocking. The Bulldogs have been somewhat susceptible to pass rushers off the edge this season. Jaylon Ferguson currently leads the country with 10.5 sacks this season.
DRAFT SLANT
–S Mark McLaurin topped the SEC with six interceptions last season. McLaurin certainly has the size (6-2, 215) to make an impact on the next level and has made 201 tackles over his four-year career at State.
ROSTER REPORT:
–S Brian Cole has officially been ruled out for the remainder of the season and had missed the previous three games with a shoulder injury.
–RB Kylin Hill missed last week’s game due to a lower body injury but returned to practice on Sunday.
–WR Keith Mixon was also held out of action last weekend with a lower body injury and is questionable for this week as well.
–DT Braxton Hoyett was unable to play last week due to a left foot/ ankle injury but is listed as day-to-day for Saturday.
