In this story:
Mississippi State (2-1, 0-1 SEC) will look to get back on track as it takes on Bowling Green (1-2) on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium.

Keep up here as the Bulldogs battle the Falcons in hopes of heading into a tough conference slate on a winning streak. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. CT.
