THE SERIES

Mississippi State leads the all-time series 15-14-1 and the Bulldogs hold a 10-6-1 advantage in the matchups in Starkville. Mississippi State has won the last five meetings with Southern Miss, including a 38-15 victory the last time the two teams met in 2019. The Golden Eagles’ last win in the series was a 38-21 decision in the 1988 season.

INJURY REPORT

Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers has missed the last four games after injuring his shoulder in the second half of the Western Michigan game. The Bulldogs may very well get Rogers back on the field Saturday. However, the availability of senior running back Jo’quavious Marks remains up in the air and he is questionable to play against Southern Miss. Marks has also missed the last four games with an ankle injury.

For Southern Miss and per beat writer Andrew Abadie of Pine Belt Sports, starting quarterback Billy Wiles injured his hand last Saturday, but he is officially listed as the starter on the depth chart.
