Holy crap. Just. Well. Holy crap. This game sucked and it really felt like Mississippi State was caught in a trap. When you blow out Kentucky and Texas A&M in back to back weeks and you have your sights set on #2 Alabama, it can be incredibly easy to overlook an opponent like UMass.
The Minutemen were 2-6 coming in to Saturday’s match up, and it was certainly a weird time to schedule an out of conference game. What was likely intended to be a break for the Bulldogs turned into anything but. And given that MSU just handed UMass their largest loss of the season, I’m somewhat happy with the results.
