After a hard loss at home against No. 1 Baylor on Saturday, the Gators (12-7, 4-2) are hoping to get back on track when Mississippi State (12-7,3-3) comes to town on Tuesday.

The Bulldogs have yet to win a game on the road this season, and the Gators are hoping to keep that streak alive. Both teams have the same overall record, but Florida is up by one game in SEC play.

This game could provide the opportunity for Mike White and his Gators to get back in the win column after two tough losses.

Here’s everything you need to know before Florida’s matchup with Mississippi State on Tuesday.
