WATCH: HAIL YEAH: DAWG ROMP AGGIES IN STARKVEGAS

Mississippi State excelled on both sides of the football as the Bulldogs took down #No.17 Texas A&M by a score of 42-24 at Davis Wade Stadium. MSU racked up 473 yards of total offense and State forced 4 turnovers to pave the way to another upset win over the Aggies.

State has played a ranked A&M team 5 times since the Aggies joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012 and the Bulldogs have claimed victory in 4 of those 5 meetings. State ran for 144 yards – the team’s second-highest single-game rushing yardage total in the Mike Leach era – and Will Rogers had his 17th career game with 300 or more yards passing.

Receiver Rara Thomas had a banner day catching the football, setting a new career high with 134 receiving yards, as well as hauling in a career long 75-yard touchdown pass. Decamerion Richardson and Jett Johnson tied for the team lead with nine tackles each.

The Bulldogs also recorded four sacks.
