The Mississippi State Bulldogs will be on the road this week to play the Tigers in Auburn, Alabama at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Mississippi State will be looking for a second win in a row after getting the best of the Kentucky Wildcats at home last Saturday.
The Auburn Tigers will be looking to remain unbeaten on the season after getting a win on the road at Texas A&M last week. The Tigers are currently ranked seventh in the country, but there’s still a lot to be seen concerning how strong of a team they are. They’ll need to shut down the Bulldogs running game if they hope to remain undefeated.
