Ugly Showing As Bulldogs Blow Aggies Out 42-24: Live Game Log

The Texas A&M Aggies enter their Week 5 matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs with a 3-1 record, including a 1-0 SEC record following their upset of Arkansas last weekend.

Now, the Aggies hit the road to take on the Bulldogs and their air raid offense looking to improve to 2-0 in SEC play and keep their hopes of making an SEC championship game appearance alive. 

As well, they'll undoubtedly be looking for a little revenge for last season's loss at the hands of the bulldogs. Last season saw the Bulldogs go into College Station and beat the Aggies 26-22, while throwing for 408 yards. 

If the Aggie defense is unable to keep the Bulldogs' offense out of the end zone, they will rely on their offense to keep up with the pace, which could be easier said than done. The Aggies' offense has looked lethargic at times this season, and with receiver Ainias Smith done for the year, they might only take another step back against Mississippi State.
