GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Jordan Ta’amu vs. MSU secondary. Ole Miss quarterback Jordan Ta’amu has a collection of elite receivers to throw to and have proven they can produce chunk plays and put up points in a hurry if given enough space. The Bulldogs lead the SEC in passing defense, giving up only 165.3 yards through the air.
DRAFT SLANT
–WR Jesse Jackson had a slow start to his college career, making only one catch through his first two seasons. But Jackson bounced back to be the Bulldogs’ leading receiver in 2017 and has hauled in seven passes for 59 yards and one touchdown this year.
ROSTER REPORT
–RB Kylin Hill has missed two of the last four games with a lower body injury but could return this week.
–S Jaquarius Landrews has been held out of the last two contests due to a lower body injury and remains questionable for this week.
–WR Keith Mixon has also missed two of the last four games with an ankle injury that has plagued him for the past two seasons.
