Sun Devils Look to Burn the Bulldogs

Arizona State (1-0) will host the Mississippi State Bulldogs (1-0) Saturday at 10:30 p.m.

Winning Starts and Takeaways

Both teams are looking to keep their wining streak alive as they enter week two of game play. The Bulldogs played Eastern Kentucky Aug 31., crushing them 56-7.

A key takeaway: strong Mississippi State offense Mississippi.

The offense especially exceled on the receiving end, as the MSU wide receivers outplayed the defense, each having at least 50 yards in receiving. However, a challenged noted was the lack of run blocking and defense, which could be a problem in the upcoming weeks for the Bulldogs.

Arizona State also had a big win of their own as they beat Wyoming 48-7 Saturday.  An important aspect to their win was the teams ability to force turnovers. The strong defense, which create two interceptions and a fumble recovery, has a good chance of causing issues for the Bulldog offense.

Home field advantage for the Sun Devils will also play a huge part to the Arizona State Mississippi State matchup.
