I would do 10 east to 171 up to Shreveport then 20 east to 55 north

Why in the hell would you go to Shreveport?

Go 10 East to 12 to 55 up to Jackson. Once in Jackson take Lakeland Dr. (I think it's state hwy 25) almost all the way to Starkville. 55 should have no traffic.

Outside of BR, the only "big" city you hit is Jackson. There are some decent places to eat in Jackson depending on what you want. Not much else to see/do though. Also, this is State's first home SEC game, so it might be a little more fun in Starkville than usual
