No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies at Mississippi State Bulldogs: Live game updates

No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies at Mississippi State Bulldogs: Live game updates

The No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies will face the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Starkville after a well-deserved bye last week.

The week before, the Aggies gave the then-No. 1 seed a beating. 9 Missouri Tigers, won 41-10 in front of a hostile 12th man crowd at Kyle Field.

Conner Weigman shined in his return to the starting lineup after missing the last three games with a shoulder injury, completing 18 of 22 passes and throwing for 276 yards. Weigman didn't throw a passing touchdown, but the prowess of the Aggie running game makes that understandable, as they ran for five touchdowns on the ground, including a 75-yard score by Le'Veon Moss to open the second half.

Last week, the Mississippi State Bulldogs took on their fellow SEC Bulldogs in Georgia.

And they didn't do it badly at all.

No. 5 Georgia won the game 41-31, but Mississippi State quarterback Michael Van Buren made his presence felt throughout the SEC, and the Aggies shouldn't just write off this game in Starkville.

Finally, the last time the Aggies visited Davis Wade Stadium, it didn't end as well as the Aggies had hoped, falling to the Dogs 42-24.

Last year, however, the Ags definitely made up for it, steamrolling Mississippi State 51-10 in Jimbo Fisher's final game as Aggie head coach. There's no telling what Mike Elko will be capable of when he faces State alongside Kyle Field in another hostile maroon-white environment.

Can the Aggies pick up where they left off before the bye week and continue their hot streak? Or will the Bulldogs finish what they failed to do against Georgia last week?

Check back here at 3:15 PM CST for live updates as the action unfolds at Davis Wade Stadium.
