The Mississippi State Bulldogs entered the game with determination but faced an uphill battle against a formidable Texas A&M defense. The Bulldogs' offense managed 237 total yards, with 133 coming from rushing and 104 from passing. Despite their efforts, they were hindered by turnovers, including four interceptions thrown by Bulldog quarterbacks. The passing game averaged only four yards per attempt and was further stifled by five sacks for a loss of 28 yards.


On special teams, one bright spot for the Bulldogs was their kick return unit. They amassed an impressive 172 yards on five returns, highlighted by a spectacular 94-yard touchdown return that stood out as one of the few high points for Mississippi State fans during this tough contest.

Penalties also played a significant role in hampering the Bulldog's momentum; they accumulated twelve penalties totaling exactly 100 yards. These infractions contributed to stalling drives and disrupting offensive flow throughout the game.


The Bulldog's defense faced relentless pressure from Texas A&M's offense but managed two sacks and five tackles for loss in an effort to contain them. However, these efforts were overshadowed by the Aggie's commanding lead as they put up a total of 51 points against Mississippi State.
