Last week, the combination of Alabama's offense getting off to a slow start and the defense letting A&M quarterback Zach Calzada have the best game of his career ended up dooming the Tide.
Can both of those things happen two weeks in a row?
Since 2008, the Tide are 15-2 following a loss. Alabama quarterback Bryce Young has thrown 20 touchdowns and three interceptions. Alabama is sixth in the country in scoring offense at 44.3 points per game.
Mississippi State is in its second year under head coach Mike Leach, long regarded as one of the best offensive minds in college football. But the Bulldogs are just 7-9 during his tenure.
Three of those wins have come this season, including a 26-22 win over Texas A&M. Quarterback Will Rogers has come up big late in games, as he leads the SEC in fourth quarter completion percentage and passing yards while throwing no fourth-quarter picks.
But while the Bulldogs' offense has made some key leaps forward under Leach, one can't forget last year's meeting when Alabama came away with a 41-0 win.
