STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State is having a lot of new experiences this season and it’ll continue this week when Toledo comes to Starkville for the first time.

The Bulldogs and Rockets have never played one another, which is the third-straight first meeting for Mississippi State and their opponent.

The Rockets are off to a 2-0 start and will bring an experienced group of players, especially on the defensive side.

““This program is incredibly established,” Lebby said. “Head football coach has been there 16 years in some capacity… they have had a ton of success for them to come down here Saturday night will be no big deal for that program.

“They have a defensive unit with seven starters who are sixth-year players. Offensively, they have some skill guys who can do some really good things with the ball in their hands… We look forward to that challenge.”
