What channel is Mississippi State football vs Tennessee on today? Time, TV schedule to watch Week 11 game
Mississippi State football continues a grueling SEC schedule with a trip to No. 6 Tennessee on Saturday in Knoxville.
The Bulldogs took care of business in last week’s win over UMass, but face a very difficult challenge in a night game at Neyland Stadium against the Vols’ ferocious defense.
Tennessee has eyes on a CFP berth, and may have its eyes on next week’s trip to Georgia too.
Here’s how to watch the Mississippi State football vs. Tennessee game today, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:
Mississippi State vs. Tennessee will broadcast nationally on ESPN in Week 11 of the 2024 college football season. Dave Pasch and Dusty Dvoracek will call the game from the booth at Neyland Stadium, with Taylor McGregor reporting from the sidelines. Streaming options for the game include FUBO, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
- Date: Saturday, Nov. 9
- Start time: 6 p.m. CT
The Mississippi State football vs. Tennessee game starts at 6 p.m. CT Saturday from Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.
Clarion Ledger reporter Sam Sklar’s prediction: Tennessee 47, Mississippi State 20
MSU’s defense isn’t suddenly competent after a good performance against UMass. There are still extreme concerns on the defensive line, which Tennessee should be able to take advantage of with Sampson. Tennessee will get out to an early lead for a comfortable win.

“First and foremost, I’m proud of my young women and the effort they gave in this quick turnaround,” head coach Sam Purcell said. “Obviously, this is a game we thought we could win, but I challenged them to play to our standards and our level on the defensive side, so that’s a good win.”

Why do Mississippi State fans ring cowbells at football games? Bulldogs tradition explained
The cowbell is synonymous with Mississippi State athletics.
Walk into Davis Wade Stadium for a football game on a fall Saturday, and you’ll see almost every fan with a cowbell in hand. They ring them all game long, creating a unique (and loud) atmosphere in college football.
Why do Mississippi State fans ring cowbells? Here’s what to know ahead of the Week 11 game against No. 5 Georgia.
Why do Mississippi State fans ring cowbells?
According to Mississippi State, cowbells began appearing gradually at sporting events in the 1930s and 1940s.
The legend says that a jersey cow once wandered on to the field during a football game in the Egg Bowl between Mississippi State and Ole Miss. MSU won the game, and fans saw the cow as good luck. Students began to bring cows to the games, but that tradition was discontinued and replaced with cowbells.
Why are Mississippi State fans allowed to ring cowbells?
The SEC banned artificial noisemakers in 1974, including cowbells. A compromise was struck in 2010 where Mississippi State could bring the cowbells back for a one-year trial as long as they adhered to certain rules, like not ringing while the ball was in play.
Mississippi State fans have been able to ring cowbells ever since.
When are Mississippi State fans allowed to use cowbells?
MSU fans are allowed to ring the cowbells until the center puts a hand on the football in formation.
The university has made an effort to make sure fans follow the rules with the cowbells. There are signs and messages on the videoboard that either say “ring responsibly” or “rest your bell” to let fans know when they must stop ringing the cowbell.
What Georgia’s Kirby Smart said about Mississippi State’s cowbells
Georgia last played in Starkville in 2022 and won 45-19. Before that, Georgia hadn’t played at Mississippi State since 2010. MSU won that game 24-12, its only win against Georgia in the past 15 games dating to 1974.
“Noise is noise,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “It’s hard to play in the SEC on the road. I have not been to an SEC venue that it was not hard to play into on the road. It’s just hard. That’s not going to change with them. They’ve got a really vertical stadium. I think the noise gets trapped in their stadium.
“It’s one of the loudest places I’ve coached, and I’ve coached there a lot. They’ve got a lot of pride in how they play and how their team plays and the support of their team.”
