The Bulldogs (2-8, 0-6 SEC) have yet to win an SEC game this season under first-year coach Jeff Lebby, who was hired away from Oklahoma in the offseason. MSU has also turned to true freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren down the stretch, who has played well in relief of the injured Blake Shapen.

The first open date in Oxford came on the heels of the team's heartbreaking loss to LSU in October. That marked the Rebels' second SEC loss of the season, meaning they now essentially had to win out in order to have a shot at a College Football Playoff berth.
