Mississippi State football and Oklahoma State have locked in a future home-and-home series, but right now, Bulldogs fans are probably more focused on the health of their star QB, Kamario Taylor, after he went down with an injury in a brutal 56-23 loss to Alabama just last week.
The Future is Set, But It’s a Long Wait for These Matchups
The scheduling update, dropped by MSU in a press release on October 14, is looking way down the road. We’re talking about games that are still years away. Mississippi State is set to travel to Stillwater, Oklahoma, on September 7, 2030. Then, the Cowboys will make the trip to Starkville for a showdown on September 6, 2031. It’s cool to see these programs connect, but man, those dates feel like forever from now when you’ve got current issues on the field.
Kamario Taylor’s Rough Week Ends in Injury and a Crushing Loss
Speaking of current issues, Kamario Taylor, wearing number 1 for Mississippi State, has had a rough go recently. In their game against Alabama at Davis Wade Stadium on October 3, the Crimson Tide absolutely rolled them, winning 56-23. To make matters worse, Taylor wasn’t the only one hurting; running back Fluff Bothwell, number 24, also got taken out of the game due to injury. Taylor was seen talking with head coach Jeff Lebby and wide receiver Zion Ragins (7) on the sideline, but it clearly wasn’t enough to turn the tide. He even hugged Alabama defensive back Bray Hubbard and greeted their QB Keelon Russell after the final whistle. Before that tough loss, Taylor did manage to pass for a touchdown in the fourth quarter against Missouri on September 26, a game where he and Lebby were interviewed by ESPN sideline reporter Taylor Davis afterwards.
Right now, Mississippi State needs to get Kamario Taylor healthy and back on the field, because 2030 and 2031 might feel far off, but consistent play starts today.
