Mississippi States month of mostly road trips concludes next weekend at Arkansas. Now the Bulldogs know their game time on November 2.

Kickoff on Reynolds Razorback Stadium will be 3:00, as announced today by the Southeastern Conference. The Dogs and Hogs get to perform for the SEC Networks broadcasting pleasureor at least the pleasure of one fan base. It will be the fourth time this 2019 season that Mississippi State has played in one of the SECNs slots, though the first for the mid-afternoon game after three morning or noon local kickoffs.

This game will be opposite the leagues premier contest of November 2, with the annualif politically incorrect title nowWorlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville between Georgia and Florida airing at 2:30central.

Bulldog fans have some recent reasons to make the trip to Fayetteville. After a long, long stretch of State football failing to find success in that state, whatever the venue, now MSU teams have taken three-straight wins within Arkansas boundaries. It began with the overtime victory in Little Rock in 2013, itself a first-ever such win for State.

In 2015 came an epic shootout with Dak Prescotts senior team and the Razorbacks swapping scores for four wild and frozen quarters in RRS. The game came down though to special teams, with linebacker Beniquez Brown blocking Arkansas field goal kick and preserving a 51-50 final.

Two years ago on the same field Nick Fitzgerald had to throw a touchdown in the final minute, and the defense make a mid-field stop, for a flat bunch of Bulldogs to escape upset by a 28-21 margin.

That game ends a stretch of State playing just once at home, and four conference contests, in a 35-day span. The Bulldogs will have an open date upon return home.
