While understandable in the immediate aftermath of the Toledo loss, claiming the sky is falling in Starkville and the school needed to clean house was on overreaction. Sure, Jeff Lebby’s rebuild in Starkville may take more time than initially thought. But a win against Florida would go a long way to reassuring fans, donors, boosters and everyone else the program is trending in the right direction.
The Bulldogs’ path to earning a bowl invite before Florida’s game is difficult enough. A loss makes its nearly impossible. Mississippi State isn’t favored to win against Florida and there’s only one other game on the schedule the Bulldogs will certainly be the favorites to win (vs. UMass, Nov. 2). The Gators represent one of the few games the Bulldogs have a non-upset chance of winning and playing in December.
