The Missouri Tigers will face another loud road environment Saturday afternoon, when they battle the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville.
It’s one of the loudest venues opposing teams face in the Southeastern Conference, due to the cowbells from fans at Scott field.
Mizzou is coming off last week’s heartbreaking 34-30 loss to #21 South Carolina at Williams-Brice. Eliah Drinkwitz’s Tigers are 7-3 and 3-3 in the SEC. While Jeff Lebby’s Bulldogs are 2-8 and 0-6 in the SEC, Coach Drinkwitz notes State has had one of the toughest schedules in the conference this year. Coach Drinkwitz says the Bulldogs are improving every week, and that Coach Lebby has done an excellent job of staying the course.
The Bulldogs are led by standout wide receiver and punt returner Kevin Coleman Jr., who starred at St. Mary’s high school in St. Louis. Coleman has caught a pass in 36 of 36 games he’s played in, and he’s also on the 2024 Biletnikoff award and Paul Horning Trophy watch lists.
