Mississippi State, Rice Accept Bowl Bids as 5-7 Teams
Following Kansas State and Iowa State opting out of bowl games as they break in new coaches, Mississippi State and Rice, who both have 5-7 records, have accepted bowl bids. Rice will face Texas State in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl on Jan 2, while Mississippi State will square off with Wake Forest in the Duke's Mayo Bowl on Jan 2. The Owls are under first-year head coach Scott Abell, and the Bulldogs are under second-year head coach Jeff Lebby. The bowl game berth will give both programs extra practice time and invaluable reps for their young quarterbacks, Chase Jenkins and Kamario Taylor.
