TheAlabama–Mississippi State football rivalry, also known as the90 Mile Drive^[3]^[4] or theBattle forHighway 82,^[5]^[6] is an Americancollege football rivalry between theAlabama Crimson Tide football team of theUniversity of Alabama andMississippi State Bulldogs football team ofMississippi State University. Both universities are founding members of theSoutheastern Conference (SEC). The two campuses are located approximately 90 miles apart and are the two geographically closest SEC universities.

In 1935, MSU Coach Major Ralph Sasse, on "orders" from his team, went to Memphis, Tennessee, to select the first bulldog mascot. Ptolemy, a gift of the Edgar Webster family, was chosen and the Bulldogs promptly defeated Alabama 20–7.^[7]

Alabama–Mississippi State is one of the Southeastern Conference's longest-running series, dating back to 1896. Mississippi State is Alabama's most played opponent, while Alabama is MSU's third most played team behindOle Miss andLSU. Aside from theAlabama–Ole Miss football rivalry, it also has been one of the league's most lopsided with Alabama leading the series 86–18–3 through the 2023 season.^[1]

Notable games

[edit]

1940: #11Mississippi State, 8–0–1 on the season, defeated the 7–1 #17Crimson Tide 13–0 in Tuscaloosa. The Bulldogs forced 5 turnovers on downs and remained undefeated on the season.^[8]
1941: TheMaroons defeatedAlabama in Tuscaloosa in September 14–0^[9] on their way to winning the school's only football SEC Championship. Despite Mississippi State's head-to-head win and conference title, and the fact that Alabama finished #20 in the final AP Poll,^[10] Alabama claims a national championship for this season. This has led to many Mississippi State fans and bloggers to clamor for the Bulldogs, who finished 16th in the final poll, to claim the title as well.^[11]
1956: TheCrimson Tide snapped a 20-game winless streak by defeating theMaroons 13–12 in Tuscaloosa.^[12]
1974: 7–0Alabama, ranked #4 at the time and the eventual SEC Champion, defeated 6–1 and #17Mississippi State in a 35–0 rout in Tuscaloosa.^[9]
1976: The 6–1Bulldogs, ranked #18, traveled to Tuscaloosa to face the 5–2 and #17Crimson Tide, where Alabama won 34–17. Had the Bulldogs won, they would have later had to forfeit anyway.^[13]
1980: In what is often named the biggest win in Mississippi State football history,^[9]^[14] theBulldogs upset the #1 and two-time defending national championCrimson Tide 6–3 inJackson, snapping Alabama's 28-game winning streak and 22-game winning streak in the series.^[15] The Bulldogs held the prolific Tidewishbone offense to 116 yards on the ground, one third of its season average up to that point.^[16] Trailing 6–3 in the final minute, Alabama drove to the MSU 4-yard-line before a big hit from Bulldog linebacker Tyrone Keys jarred the football loose, sealing the upset win for the Bulldogs.^[17] After the game, Alabama coachBear Bryant visited the Mississippi State locker room to congratulate the team for the win.^[12] In 2007, College Football News' Pete Futiak named the game the 91st best ending in college football history since 1970.^[18]
1981: #8Alabama avenged its loss from the previous year by defeating the #7Bulldogs 13–10 in Tuscaloosa in the only top-10 matchup between the two teams until 2014.
1986: #8Alabama, coming off a loss toPenn State the week before, traveled to Starkville for the first time since 1960 to take on the #19Bulldogs. The Tide won a dominating 38–3 victory, outgaining the Bulldogs by nearly 400 yards.Bobby Humphrey rushed for a then-school-record 284 yards.^[19]
1996:Alabama, 8–1 and ranked #10, fell to the 3–5Bulldogs 17–16 in Starkville, giving Mississippi State head coachJackie Sherrill his first win over his alma mater Alabama. Alabama, who missed an extra point earlier in the game, drove to the Mississippi State 39-yard line in the final minute but turned the ball over on downs.^[20] Alabama went on to win the SEC West anyway.
1999: TheBulldogs, 8–0 and ranked #8, traveled to Tuscaloosa to take on the 7–2 #11Crimson Tide, looking for their fourth straight win in the series. However, Alabama defeated MSU 19–7,^[21] aided by three turnovers, a blocked punt, and what Mississippi State fans considered to be a pair of "questionable" holding penalties.^[9] The win clinched the SEC West for the Crimson Tide and ended the Bulldogs' bid for their second undefeated season.
2006:Mississippi State traveled to Tuscaloosa looking for its first SEC win of the season, whileAlabama came in at 6–3. The game featured apick-6 by each defense, and the Bulldogs stuffed Tide quarterbackJohn Parker Wilson just outside the goal line to end the first half.Anthony Dixon ran for 121 yards, and the Bulldog defense held the Tide out of the end zone in the second half to seal the upset win.^[22]
2007: TheBulldogs clinched their first bowl bid in 7 years by beating #21Alabama 17–12.^[23] The Bulldog defense held the Tide out of the end zone the entire game, and cornerback Anthony Johnson returnedJohn Parker Wilson's intercepted pass for 100 yards and a touchdown with 4 seconds to go in the first half.
2012: TheBulldogs traveled to Tuscaloosa with a #13 ranking and a 7–0 record, hoping to knock off defending national champion and #1-rankedAlabama. In the buildup to the game, Mississippi State fans usedTwitter to display "#WeBelieve 8–0" messages from all over the world,^[24]^[25] even including theBear Bryant statue outsideBryant–Denny Stadium,^[26] and many bloggers declared it to be the biggest game in Mississippi State's history.^[14] However, the game did not live up to the hype—Alabama won handily, 38–7,^[27] holding the Bulldogs to only 47 rushing yards.
2014: TheBulldogs, undefeated and ranked #1 for the first time in school history, traveled to Tuscaloosa to face the 8–1 #5Crimson Tide. Mississippi State had earned the #1 spot in all polls including the newCollege Football Playoff Rankings after defeating three top–10 teams in a row (#8LSU, #6Texas A&M, and #2Auburn). The 99th game of the series between the two schools was considered by many to be the biggest game of the rivalry. After getting their opening points by tackling running back Josh Robinson in the Bulldogs' own endzone for a safety, Alabama went on to defeat the Bulldogs 25–20. Mississippi State quarterbackDak Prescott, who had been considered a Heisman Trophy frontrunner for much of the 2014 season, became the conference leader in interceptions after throwing three picks during this game.
2017: The 16th rankedBulldogs took on #2Alabama on a crazy night where two of the top three teams in the CFP Rankings lost (#1 Georgia and#3 Notre Dame). Alabama ended up rallying from a fourth quarter deficit due to aJalen Hurts 26-yard TD pass toDeVonta Smith with 25 seconds remaining and the Tide survived in a 31–24 thriller.^[28]

Notes

[edit]

^Alabamaforfeited a game in 1993 that officially results in a Mississippi State win instead of an Alabama loss. Alabamavacated the game in 2005, which results in removal of the game from Alabama's win column, but not an added win for Mississippi State.
^Alabama's 1993 victory was forfeited as the NCAA foundAntonio Langham guilty of receiving improper benefits after signing with an agent following the 1992 season, forcing Alabama to forfeit all games in which Langham competed.^[29]^[30]
^Alabama's 2005 victory was vacated as part of NCAA sanctions.^[31]^[30]
