It's a rainy day here in Birmingham, and its not much different in Nashville. Here are some links from around the web as we work our way towards the 6pm kickoff. The game will be televised on FSN if you weren't able to make the trip up to the Music City today.

To start things off, The Tennessean takes a look at the JUCO recruiting that MSU does, especially in-state.

Mississippi State upset Vanderbilt last year, as they rolled in to Starkville 5-0 and ranked #13 in the country. InsideVandy says that the Dores are ready for Mississippi State this year, and apparently the players are calling this Redemption Week.

Brad Locke takes a look at the Mississippi State QB platoon that Mullen is using and how it is the best solution for State right now. He also takes a look at the attitude of some fans following last week's 49-24 loss to Auburn.

Wrapping up the linkage, Kyle Veazey takes a look at the game today and says that all eyes (at least the maroon eyes) will be on State's defense to see how well they perform after a dismal outing last weekend on the Plains.
