The Longhorns are the talk of college football, making its firstand moving into a new home, the SEC, in 2024. The Longhorns look to become an elite program once more, kicking off with its first conference game against the Bulldogs in Austin.
The Bulldogs will simply be fighting for bowl contention in 2024, with a schedule featuring SEC games against Florida, Texas, Georgia, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Missouri. The Bulldogs need an upset to even hope of reaching that six-win mark, usually denoting a bowl game appearance. American-Statesman readers had things to say about the salary hike given Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian. / Aaron E. Martinez / USA TODAY NETWORKPlain and simple, this Texas team is much better than Mississippi State. Head coach Steve Sarkisian is heading into his fourth year with the program and the Longhorns feature top-10 position groups at every position.
Though it is not at the level of the Longhorns, Mississippi State has still reloaded the group that looks to catch passes from transfer QB Blake Shapen. Four transfers were ranked as either high-three or low five-star transfer acquisitions, and the team still carries its two four-star recruit receivers from 2023. Pair that with an experienced quarterback and that is a recipe for success.
