If you’ve been paying attention to the sports media this week, you know that not very many people are giving Mississippi State much of a chance to beat Alabama on Saturday. That’s not surprising, given the Tide’s dominating performance in a 30-16 victory over LSU last week. There’s also the matter of history – MSU doesn’t have great track record against Alabama. So it’s not surprising the experts are almost unanimously picking the Crimson Tide to win the game.
So what would it take for MSU to defeat Alabama? Is it even possible? Is there any plausible scenario in which the Bulldogs can take down the Tide?
