Mississippi State saw Kamario Taylor get the 2026 season off to a flying start, as he threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns in a 62-13 rout of UL Monroe in Week 1.
In Week 2, the Bulldogs head up north to Minnesota, where the Golden Gophers await after a season-opening win against Eastern Illinois. Saturday marks the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
A look at ESPN’s FPI reveals that this could be a relatively close one. But the Bulldogs have been given the edge. The latest projections have given them a 59.1 percent chance of coming away with a win.
Mississippi State enters 2026 with head coach Jeff Lebby squarely on the hot seat. After a 2-10 mark in 2024, the Bulldogs started 2025 with a 4-0 record but went just 1-8 in their final nine games. Their only SEC win was a 38-35 victory over Arkansas.
Meanwhile, Minnesota is entering Year 10 of the PJ Fleck era. The Golden Gophers have played to identical 8-5 records in 2024 and 2025 while winning their last seven bowl appearances.
Darius Taylor ran for three touchdowns against Eastern Illinois, but the headlines belonged to Javon Tracy. The fifth-year senior returned two punts for touchdowns while adding five catches for a game-high 98 yards.
