New Bulldogs HC Joe Moorhead walked into an ideal situation from a personnel standpoint at Miss. State. He has one of the best offensive and defensive lines in football, two QBs that share similar dynamic skill sets, combined with his Xs and Os wizardry, and the coaching staff he put together, it's no surprise that they are off to a great start to the season. Kentucky has looked impressive in their 3-0 start, beating Florida for the first time since 1986. This is a big game in the SEC, but when you look at QB play, the scale tips heavily in favor of Nick Fitzgerald and Mississippi State. That's the x-factor in this game.
I love to look for matchups between two teams that run the ball a lot when looking for an under, and we have just such a matchup here. Kentucky has run the ball on 65.6% of its plays this season, while Mississippi State checks in at 61.9%. They rank 13th and 25th respectively in the country. Expect a lot of run plays and a lot of time to elapse between them.
