Wake Forest vs. Mississippi State

January 2, 2026
img8:00 PM Eastern

Wake Forest is up to play for this game, making a bowl in coach Jake Dickert's first season. QB Robby Ashford ran for 504 yards with seven touchdowns and has only been sacked 12 times. He is in his sixth season of college football. The Demon Deacons are on an 8-3 ATS run. Mississippi State has a losing record and went 1-7 in the SEC. They're also a team with many issues. Starting quarterback Blake Shapen is sitting out the bowl. Freshman quarterback Kamario Taylor has one start in his career, the last game, a 38-19 loss to Ole Miss. The Bulldogs fired defensive coordinator Coleman Hutzler after the last game, and have not said who will call defensive plays in this bowl. The defense surrendered 405.8 yards per game and ranks 79th on third down (40.79%). Play Wake Forest.
