What Life was like the last time Mississippi State lost to Kentucky

The history of the Mississippi St. Bulldogs football program doesn’t allow for fans to gloat about dominance over a program most of the time. But when it comes to Kentucky, the Bulldogs have won seven games in a row, the last of which gave MSU a one game lead in the all time series.

It was 8 years ago that Sylvester Croom led the Bulldogs on to the field against the Kentucky Wildcats and walked away with a loss. So what has changed since then?
