Texas A&M Aggies Week 11 Preview: Mississippi State Bulldogs

The Texas A&M Aggies trail the Mississippi State Bulldogs 7-9 in the all-time head-to-head series.

Coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday, the Texas A&M Aggies (5-4) will look to bounce back this weekend against a fledgling Mississippi State Bulldogs (4-5) team.

The Aggies will enter the game looking to become bowl-eligible once again, after missing out on postseason play with last season's 5-7 record. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs will be fighting for bowl eligibility as well, needing two wins in their last three games in order to reach the postseason. 

With No. 10 Ole Miss still waiting on the schedule for the Bulldogs, Saturday's tilt with the Aggies, for all intents and purposes, will be a must-win for Mississippi State.

Texas A&M has dropped the last two against Mississippi State, with the Bulldogs also taking five of the last seven and six of the last nine matchups overall in the series. 

All-time, the Aggies trail the series with the Bulldogs 7-9.

Luckily for the Aggies, they will face the challenge in front of their home crowd at Kyle Field, with kick-off set for 6:30 pm CT.
