Starkville, Miss. • Cowbells will ring, or clang, or jingle, or whatever sound thousands and thousands of cowbells make when commandeered by more than 60,000 frenzied fans on Saturday morning as demoralized BYU limps into Southeastern Conference territory.
The Cougars are at Davis Wade Stadium for only the second time ever for a seemingly inevitable beatdown at the hands of a team they somehow defeated exactly a year ago, Mississippi State. It is a scene the Cougars have prepared for, even unexpectedly.
Kickoff was set last week at 10 a.m. MT, or about the same time of the day that the 1-5 Cougars are halfway through their usual practices in Provo.
