GOAZCATS – Tale of the Tape: Arizona vs. Mississippi State
Although Mississippi State is more of a running team now with Arnett has its head coach, quarterback Will Rogers is still there and one of the better passers in the SEC. Last season against Arizona, Rogers threw for 313 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. He was quick a decisive with the football.
Now, Arizona’s Jayden de Laura has improved his game from the last meeting between these two teams. De Laura has shown that he has grown as a signal caller and become more of a leader in the offense.
However, even though de Laura has improved, he will be going into maybe the toughest road game of the season for Arizona with Mississippi State fans going nuts with those cowbells, which could lead to mistakes, or turnovers with him trying to force a big play.
I think this is a game that home-field advantage matter for the 2023 season and the pressure of the crowd might be too much for de Laura. So, I’m giving the nod to the Bulldogs at the quarterback position.
