Mississippi State’s bowl destination was announced on Sunday afternoon. It was decided that MSU would face off against the defending Heisman trophy winner, Lamar Jackson, and the Louisville Cardinals in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on December 30 at 11 AM CT.
This matchup is not the best matchup the Bulldogs could have drawn. Mullen has taken a few of Mississippi State’s coaches with him to Florida. Originally, Mullen only hired Billy Gonzales (WR coach) and John Hevesy(O-line coach) at UF. Now, Mullen has just about filled the coaching staff up with hiring Todd Grantham as the new Florida defensive coordinator and offering Greg Knox, the interim head coach for the bowl game, a job at UF as well.
