Will Mississippi State upset Texas, Arch Manning, end SEC losing streak? Our prediction
STARKVILLE — Texas was the No. 1 team in the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll, but this appears to be a much more winnable game now for Mississippi State football.
The Bulldogs (4-3, 0-3 SEC) are taking on the No. 18 Longhorns (5-2, 2-1) at Davis Wade Stadium on Oct. 25 (3:15 p.m., SEC Network).
Texas has struggled offensively in Arch Manning’s first season as the full-time starting quarterback. The Longhorns have losses to Ohio State and Florida, and needed overtime to beat Kentucky.
MSU with second-year coach Jeff Lebby has already doubled its wins from last season and upset then-No. 10 Arizona State, but it’s lost three consecutive games.
Here is our score prediction for the Week 9 game.

Mississippi State vs Texas prediction
Expect another low-scoring game. While the Longhorns ran up the score on UTEP and San Jose State, they haven’t topped 27 points in any of their other five games. Texas is averaging 16.8 points in its four games against power conference opponents.
Mississippi State has been better in its four games against power conference teams, but not by much at 22 points per game.
MSU’s offensive line could be the difference in this matchup. The Bulldogs got starting right tackle Albert Reese IV back from injury against Florida in Week 8, and the unit blocked much better. Texas’ defense has been its strength, allowing just 11.3 points per game.
A win for Mississippi State would end its 15-game SEC losing streak.
Mississippi State vs Texas scouting report
Why Mississippi State has an advantage: The Mississippi State defense has been much better this season and has been competitive in all three SEC games. The pass defense has been a big reason why. MSU is allowing 187.3 passing yards per game, 30th nationally. The Bulldogs’ 10 interceptions are tied for sixth nationally and lead the SEC.
The Bulldogs were in range for a potential game-winning field goal against Florida before quarterback Blake Shapen threw an interception. Leading rusher Fluff Bothwell didn’t play in that game, and his status is uncertain against Texas, but Davon Booth recorded 119 total yards and two touchdowns in his absence.
Why Texas has an advantage: Texas’ defense has been dominant all season. The Longhorns have 21 sacks, tied for fourth in the SEC and 11 more than Mississippi State’s total. Colin Simmons is a star edge rusher with seven sacks. Offenses are averaging only 2.6 yards per carry against the Longhorns, and they’ve surrendered just three passing touchdowns all season.
However, Texas’ leading tackler, safety Michael Taaffe, is out against Mississippi State.

Mississippi police shooting: How Walmart shoplifting call ended in baby’s death
When to call 911 and when to use non-emergency lines in Memphis, Shelby County
This video explains the importance of knowing when to call 911 for emergencies and when to use non-emergency lines for less critical situations.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is investigating a shoplifting call that resulted in the death of a one-year-old child in Northwest Mississippi.
The incident, which occurred on June 14, has led the family to hire a civil rights attorney, and the officer involved is facing repercussions. Protests have also broken out in response to the city’s lack of action against the officers involved in the incident.
Here is what to know about the situation so far.
Why were policed called to the Walmart in Senatobia?
On June 14, police were called to the Walmart on U.S. 51 in Senatobia regarding a shoplifting incident. Officers with the Senatobia Police Department and the Tate County Sheriff’s Office responded and, upon arrival, saw two subjects and a child fleeing from the store into a vehicle.
According to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, officers attempted to stop the vehicle as the driver drove toward them. One officer shot into the car as the car fled the scene.
Later, the subjects arrived at the local hospital, where the child, 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, was pronounced dead and another subject had critical injuries.
What happened to the officer?
On June 16, the city of Senatobia announced the police officer who shot and killed Wiley was placed on leave.
The announcement came shortly after police deployed tear gas on a group of protestors outside the Walmart where the incident took place. The Walmart was temporarily closed but reopened around 8:20 a.m., according to WMC Action News 5, The Commercial Appeal’s broadcast partner.
“We’re saddened by what took place at our Senatobia, MS, store,” a Walmart spokesperson told WMC. “The safety of our associates and customers is a top priority. We’re working with law enforcement as they continue investigating.”
Is the family taking legal action?
Wiley’s family retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump, the attorney’s office announced on June 16.
“A 1-year-old child is dead because police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a car in a crowded Walmart parking lot,” said Crump in the statement. “Kohen Wiley was a baby. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.”
Where is Senatobia?
Senatobia is roughly 40 miles directly south of Memphis and sits along Interstate 55 in Mississippi. According to the most recent Census, the city has a population of approximately 8,400 people.
