Mario Craver expected to miss game vs. Arkansas

Craver left the Texas A&M game with a lower body injury during what was looking like his best performance of the season.

Prior to college, he played in the Under Armour All-American Game in January, hauling in a 51-yard touchdown catch in that one. In the Mississippi State spring game, he hauled in five catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. He’ll be expected to make an instant impact for the Bulldogs this fall.

Up next, Mississippi State will take on the Arkansas Razorbacks. That one will be played on October 26th. Kick is set for 12:45 PM EST and the game will be nationally televised on SEC Network.
