The 2011 Music City Bowl will pit Wake Forest out of the ACC against Mississippi State from the SEC, the bowl announced on Sunday. The Demon Deacons started off strong but faded down the stretch, losing five of their last six to finish at 6-6 on the season. Mississippi State also finished 6-6 this season.
The most interesting subplot for this game is the status of Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen. Will he be with the Bulldogs for the bowl game? He has drawn considerable interest from Penn State and could accept that job before the game.
Here is more information on the 2011 Music City Bowl.
Game date, time: 6:40 pm ET, Friday, December 30th
