Alabama and Mississippi State face off in one of the biggest games of Week 5, as both teams enter with a ton of momentum. Both the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs are led by a young, extremely talented quarterback who could find themselves as legitimate contenders for the Heisman Trophy at the end of the year.
Analysts all across the networks are zeroing in on this game, and the CBS Sports analysts are no different. When it came to predictions, there was a split on the decision.
Brian Jones is all bought in with the Bulldogs, and he has them winning the game. His lone worry for Mississippi State is whether or not they can block well enough against the Crimson Tide pass rush.
Aaron Taylor, Rick Neuheisel and Brian Kelly all have the Crimson Tide winning this game, but are expecting it to be extremely competitive and close.
For Kelly, he thinks Alabama will be able to overwhelm the Bulldogs and get the win late.
Mississippi State fans have been waiting for a game like this in a long time, and a win here will have Kamario Taylor and the Bulldogs as the face of college football through five weeks.
