Mississippi State travels to Arizona State for its annual Power Five matchup.
College football has seen a decade's worth of change in a few years. One of the most significant parts of the shift is conference realignment, while Mississippi State has not moved a team on its schedule will.
Both teams have a fair amount of change as the Bulldogs enter their first year under Jeff Lebby, while ASU is looking to improve in year two of Kenny Dillingham. Here's an early look at Arizona State as we continue to preview Mississippi State's opponents for the upcoming season.As mentioned, these programs have many similarities; one is both will rely on a transfer quarterback. ASU brought in a pair of transfers, one with experience and a youngster.
Like the Bulldogs, ASU went heavy in the transfer portal looking for offensive linemen and tight ends, signing three tight ends and four offensive linemen. Dillingham runs an up-tempo pro-style attack, and after a 3-9 season a year ago, he has brought in some help through the transfer portal.The biggest concern for any team taking on an SEC team is the line of scrimmage. ASU was gutted on the defensive line as they lost their top two producers to the transfer portal and the NFL draft.
