Mississippi State-Missouri football game time set

Bulldogs and Tigers will have an afternoon affair in Starkville

Mississippi State now knows exactly when it is set to conclude its regular season football slate. 

MSU already was aware it would host the Missouri Tigers on Saturday, December 19, but the Southeastern Conference announced on Thursday that it will be an afternoon affair. State and Missouri are set for a 2:30 p.m. CT kickoff at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville.
