What our Post expert thinks about Wake Forest vs. Mississippi State
Wake Forest hasn’t sniffed nine wins since 2021, and this game gives Dickert a rare chance to reach that mark in Year 1.
Mississippi State counters with quarterback intrigue, as freshman Kamario Taylor’s Egg Bowl performance showcased a dual-threat ceiling that doesn’t show up in the season-long numbers.
It’s also a matchup of mobile quarterbacks, with Robby Ashford’s 500-plus rushing yards stressing discipline against a Bulldog defense that’s already seen how one breakout performance is all the difference in perception.
