For the 16th season in a row, Mississippi State had no answer for Alabama, as the Crimson Tide rolled all over Davis Wade Stadium in a 40-17 win over the Bulldogs.
The Tide took full advantage of three Will Rogers interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. Rogers finished 15 of 27 passing for 107 yards and one touchdown to go along with those three picks. State was held to 261 yards but did score more on the Crimson Tide than they had in any matchup since 2017.
