The Bulldogs were fresh off an upset win over Texas A&M and were looking to continue their momentum against Alabama, and then the game started.

The Bulldogs were immediately blown off of the field against Alabama, as the Bulldogs lingering defensive problems were exploited to their fullest potential. Mississippi State was not expected to win this game, I think most would have expected a little bit more fight out of the team, but it just was not there. The Bulldogs will have to win their last two SEC games against Arkansas and Ole Miss, if they want to reach a bowl game.

Next game: November 19, vs Arkansas, 7:00pm ET ESPNU
