STARKVILLE – Mississippi State football is going bowling for the 27th time in program history, and the first time under second-year head coach Jeff Lebby. Despite a 5-7 record, the Bulldogs have been selected for the Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Jan. 2 in Charlotte, N.C.
MSU will face a ACC opponent Wake Forest. The game will be an evening kickoff, 8 p.m. local and 7 p.m. central time, at Bank of America Stadium.
The Deacons finished the regular season 8-4, and notably upset ACC Championship Game finalist Virginia 16-9.
The two programs have met just once before in the 2011 Music City Bowl, which MSU won 23-17.
Tickets for the game are now for sale at hailstate.com/tickets. Club seats are priced at $150 and lower-level seats are $95, plus fees. Seat assignments will be finalized later this week based on Bulldog Club priority ranking.
