What to Know

The Eastern Kentucky Colonels will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Kickoff is scheduled at 6:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field.

One of the more interesting stats to watch in this game could be rushing touchdowns, as these two produced some pretty different results last year. Eastern Kentucky finished last season ranked sixth in the nation, with 17 on the season. Mississippi State, on the other hand, didn't do so hot: they were ranked 116th with 12.

Looking back to last season, Eastern Kentucky finished on the wrong side of .500 (5-6), but they'll be hoping to turn things around this year. Similarly, Mississippi State will seek to improve after finishing 5-7.

Eastern Kentucky is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They finished last season with a 6-4 record against the spread.
