Alabama’s Record and Its Quarterback
Mississippi State stands as Alabama’s toughest early-season test this campaign, coming after the Crimson Tide have already faced Kentucky, Florida State, and South Carolina. Alabama is aiming to remain perfect through the season, a record that could set up a run at the College Football Playoffs.
Keelon Russell comes into this contest in an unfamiliar role. He is no longer the clear top quarterback on the field, and now must answer the question of whether he can make a case for himself against the player ahead of him.
This season, Alabama has failed to score below 45 points in any single game. Their only exception came two weeks ago against Florida State, when they gave up 36 points.
Mississippi State’s Rise
The Bulldogs of Mississippi State have climbed all the way to the 16th spot in the national rankings despite being considered a long shot at the start of the season. A win over Alabama would push them even higher on the leaderboard and quiet down some of their critics.
The Bulldogs passed their first major test last week by beating Missouri, winning 31-24. Despite the modest margin, they should still be proud of defeating a ranked opponent. The early-season narrative for the team centers on their quarterback, Kamario Taylor.
Through four games, Taylor is putting together a dream campaign, with plenty of passing yards and already 14 touchdowns to his credit. Two interceptions have also come his way, though he could still work his way into Heisman finalist status if he protects the football and keeps performing at this level.
New users only can take advantage of this deal, which demands a daily task over ten days. Before committing, anyone thinking about the promo should judge whether the daily requirement matches their schedule. The offer is live, with the game beginning Saturday at 12:00 ET.
