Can the Gophers Survive Mississippi State's Offense? Full Preview of Minnesota vs Mississippi State

Bleav — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 23:41:00 GMT

Minnesota hosts its first SEC opponent in over 50 years this Saturday as Mississippi State comes to the Twin Cities, and it's shaping up to be one of the best matchups of week two in college football. In this episode, we break down Jeff Lebby's Veer and Shoot offense and why quarterback Kamario Taylor has coaches on both sides calling him one of the most talented players they've faced. We dig into Mississippi State's revamped defense under new coordinator Zach Arnett, get an outside perspective from Maroon and White Daily on how Starkville is feeling heading into Minneapolis, and lay out what Minnesota needs to do on both sides of the ball to pull off the win. Plus, our final score predictions for Saturday's 2:30 p.m. kickoff on CBS.
