Cowbell Corner continues its preview series of MSU’s upcoming gridiron opponents with Tennessee
With realignment of the SEC and the elimination of the East and West divisions, teams from opposing divisions will get to face each other more often. Another example of this is the Nov. 9 game between Tennessee and Mississippi State.
MSU’s first-year coach Jeff Lebby will have had plenty of time to iron out any issues with the Bulldogs and we’ll have a better idea how much a trap game this could be for Tennessee before its big road trip to Georgia the following week.Tennessee’s offense wasn’t the same in 2023 with Joe Milton at quarterback, replacing Hendon Hooker. But there’ll be a new starting quarterback in Knoxville and one who showed big potential last year.
The Volunteers’ won’t have the starting running back for the nation’s ninth-best rushing attack, but do return his backup, Dylan Sampson, who had more than 600 yards a year ago and a team-high seven touchdowns. Edge rusher James Pearce was the only first-team All-SEC selection for Tennessee last year, and he’s back with fellow returning starters Omari Thomas and Bryson Eason at defensive tackle and Keenan Pili at linebacker.
