Watch: Mississippi State Players Discuss Upcoming Liberty Bowl Matchup With Texas Tech

Several Mississippi State players met with the media ahead of Dec. 28's Liberty Bowl.

Mississippi State (7-5) is bowl bound after the conclusion of the regular season, set to face off against a shaky Texas Tech (6-6) team in the Liberty Bowl on Tuesday, Dec. 28 in Memphis, Tennessee.

It's easy to argue the Bulldogs have the upper hand in this one considering the number of times they showed just how strongly they could click in all three phases of the game this season against some of the best competition in the nation.

Still, the motto is never to play down to any opponent, and that will remain the same going into this game.

Several Mississippi State players met with the media on Friday ahead of the matchup to discuss where the team is now and what they're looking ahead to.

"(Playing in a bowl game) it's huge," quarterback Will Rogers said. "Nobody likes to lose a game, especially when it's the last game of the year. It's really big for us to win this game, gain momentum going into the offseason and then just preach it -- here's what we did, here's what we can do next year."
