🔼 Game Day Ready. For the 17th time in program history, Mississippi State football will square off against South Carolina in their second SEC matchup of the season. With a kickoff time set for 6:30pm CT on SEC Network, the game will feature a team with one of the best rushing attacks in the conference versus a team with one of the best air-raid offenses in the SEC.

🔼 Breaking Out. After only catching two innings in the 2022 season, Bulldog softball legend Mia Davidson-Sky was one of the best catchers in all of AU Softball in 2023. Read about how she put together her breakout campaign behind the plate this season.
