Texas vs. Mississippi State: How to Watch - 6:30 p.m. on ESPN, With Tessitore and Palmer on the Call
Kickoff, channel, streaming, radio and the broadcast team for Halloween night at DKR - plus the Halloween record Texas brings into its third straight meeting with the Bulldogs.
Halloween night in Austin has a kickoff time, and it is 6:30 p.m. Central. No. 11 Texas hosts Mississippi State at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, on ESPN nationally, with streaming on the ESPN app, ESPN Unlimited, Disney+ and Fubo. Joe Tessitore and Jesse Palmer call the game from the booth, with Kris Budden reporting from the sidelines, according to the Clarion Ledger's game-day listing.
For radio listeners, the Longhorns' own broadcast is available through Texassports.com and on Sirius channel 132, XM 199 and app channel 953, per Burnt Orange Nation's game-day file. However Austin follows it, the setting is a familiar one: this is the third straight season Texas has faced the Bulldogs since joining the SEC.
The Halloween angle is real and it favors the home team historically. Texas is 15-3-1 all-time in games played on October 31 and 8-2 in its last 10 Halloween games, Longhorns Wire reported - though the Longhorns lost their last Halloween tilt, to Oklahoma State, a caution against reading the calendar as a guarantee.
Mississippi State arrives 4-3 and 2-3 in the SEC, without quarterback Kamario Taylor for the rest of the season after a toe injury. The Clarion Ledger's own prediction, carried here as a prediction and nothing more, is Texas 40, Mississippi State 17. The Sports Desk files the actual final tonight after the game.
