Friday night the BYU Cougars and Mississippi State Bulldogs will face of for the first time since 2001. The teams have faced off twice in football with each winning on the other teams home field. Many BYU fans will be happy to forget about the 2001 game on the road as fan favorite running back, Luke Staley, broke his leg on the last drive of the game. This would prove costly as the Cougars were fighting for a BCS berth, and Staley was never quite the same. The Cougars coaching staff does have a little history with the program as Kalani Sitake played in the game against the Bulldogs in Provo and Reno Mahe played in Starkville.
