No. 12 Alabama takes its first winning streak of the season on the road Saturday, Sept. 30. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and SlingTV (half off first month).

The Crimson Tide hopes to reclaim the form Alabama is used to at struggling Mississippi State, which looks to end a two-game slide and climb out of the SEC West basement.

Series history favors Alabama (3-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) entering Saturday night’s matchup in Starkville. The Tide has beaten MSU (2-2, 0-2) 15 consecutive times and is 21-4 in Starkville, despite all those clanging cowbells.

The mission now is playing crisper than in last week’s 24-10 home win over No. 20 Mississippi.

The Tide overcame four sacks of quarterback Jalen Milroe – who tossed an end-zone interception – to score 18 points over 14 minutes against the Rebels. Milroe threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Hale, which provided a double-digit cushion the defense preserved.

Despite a second consecutive SEC loss, MSU looks to build on the positives as it nears the end of a front-loaded stretch against West heavyweights.

Numbers wise, the pro-style offense looked more like the previous pass-heavy Air Raid scheme of late former coach Mike Leach in last week’s 37-30 loss at South Carolina. Will Rogers threw for a career-high 487 yards and Tulu Griffin set a single-game school record with 256 yards receiving and a TD. The Bulldogs outgained the Gamecocks 519-432.

Defensive improvement might be the Bulldogs’ main focus after the Gamecocks opened with TD drives of 98 and 99 yards before later adding consecutive 75-yard scoring marches. Those scores included TD passes of 76 and 75 yards, the latter coming one snap after MSU got within 20-17.

When is Alabama-Miss. State?

Alabama faces Miss. State at 8 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) on Saturday, Sept. 30, or at the conclusion of the LSU-Ole Miss game.
