For just the second time ever, the Mississippi State Bulldogs<\/a><\/strong> head to Columbia to face the Missouri Tigers<\/a><\/strong>. Not a matchup we have seen too frequently since Mizzou joined the SEC due to divisions within the conference. Now, this will be the back-end of consecutive games between them.<\/p>\n

Before taking the field, there are some injuries to deal with. Availability reports were released on Wednesday night, being the first of a few. Players can be listed as probable, questionable, doubtful, or out. Usually, changes do take place throughout the week.<\/p>\n

Mississippi State and Missouri both have some key names popping up a few days before kickoff. You can check out the full injury report here.<\/p>\n

Mississippi State Bulldogs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Questionable<\/strong>:
QB Blake Shapen<\/a><\/strong>
OL Albert Reese IV<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Out<\/strong>:
S Isaac Smith<\/a><\/strong>
CB Jett Jefferson<\/strong>
DL Will Whitson<\/a><\/strong>
OL Brennan Smith<\/a><\/strong>
OL Blake Steen<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Missouri Tigers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Out<\/strong>:
DE Langden Kitchen<\/a><\/strong>

Kickoff from Faurot Field is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. CT. Missouri enters with a 6-3 overall record but 5-2 in SEC play. The Tigers have dropped three of the last four, effectively ending any chance of making the College Football Playoff. As for Mississippi State, Jeff Lebby<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s bunch is 5-5 and one win away from bowl eligibility. Getting a second SEC win of the season would tick off a box for the program.<\/p>\n

Eli Drinkwitz discusses \u2018playoffs or bust\u2019 mentality<\/p>\n

Eli Drinkwitz<\/a><\/strong> apparently has had enough with how some fans viewed college football seasons. Of course, the College Football Playoff is what everyone wants to achieve. But Drinkwitz spoke on the mindset of that being the only way to determine success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talked about this at SEC Media Days, we gotta get out of this \u2018Oh man, it\u2019s playoffs or bust,\u2019\u201d\u00a0Drinkwitz said<\/a> on Tuesday night\u2019s Tiger Talk radio show, via Joey Van Zummeren. \u201cYes, again, we\u2019re shooting for the moon, we\u2019re going to put our whole self into that, but only 12 teams make the Playoffs and we put ourselves in position in November to be there. Didn\u2019t get it done, I got that. But if the season only counts for 12 football teams, and we got a 127 D1 football teams, that math\u2019s not gonna math very well.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is more than just the Playoff potential, and again, we were there, we didn\u2019t get it done. But there\u2019s a whole heck of a lot to be proud of, there\u2019s a whole heck of a lot to play for. When I took over, we didn\u2019t go to a bowl game, we (were under) NCAA probation, and ever since then, we\u2019ve been going to bowl games. And there\u2019s a lot of programs right now that would trade us spots. \u2026 So (we\u2019ve) just got to keep on fighting, keep on believing, and we\u2019re going to get ourselves back there. We\u2019re going to bust through.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For just the second time ever, the Mississippi State Bulldogs head to Columbia to face the Missouri Tigers.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":374888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[155801,33159,180421,33160,155802,155803,180422,1318,34357,180423,1317,1315,1316,180424,62,67,132,68,155815],"class_list":{"0":"post-374887","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-albert-reese-21-clearwater-academy-international","9":"tag-beau-pribula-22-central-york","10":"tag-blake-craig-23-north","11":"tag-blake-shapen-20-evangel-christian-academy","12":"tag-blake-steen-22-st-thomas-aquinas","13":"tag-brennan-smith-21-escambia","14":"tag-brett-norfleet-23-francis-howell","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-isaac-smith-23-itawamba-agricultural","17":"tag-langden-kitchen-23-westran","18":"tag-ncaa","19":"tag-ncaa-football","20":"tag-ncaafootball","21":"tag-sam-horn-22-collins-hill","22":"tag-sports","23":"tag-united-states","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-will-whitson-20-winton-woods"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
