Mississippi State is headed back to the site of its last SEC win this Saturday.

The Bulldogs will face Arkansas, another SEC team looking for its first conference win, Saturday two years after beating the Razorbacks 7-3.

That was the last time the Bulldogs won an SEC game. Arkansas won last season's game 58-25, but this year's version of both squads are vastly different.

"This team in comparison to last year's team is night and day," Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby said on Monday. "We got a good football team this year. We did not a year ago. We've got a good enough football team to win."

Arkansas has undergone an inseason change. The school fired Sam Pittman and named Bobby Petrion the interim head coach, which has resulted in some changes to how the Razorbacks look on film.

"Offensively, no. Defensively, they're completely different," Lebby said when asked about the differences in Arkansas under two different head coaches. "(Petrino) made a change at defensive coordinator, linebacker and at defensive line. So, we've got three games that we've watched that can kind of give you the information of what we're going to get this weekend. So it's very, very limited tape, but feel like we've got a good grasp of what it's going to look like and what we're going to get."

Mississippi State fans wanting to see a major change as a result of the outcome of Saturday's loss to Florida will be disappointed looking at the depth chart.
