It is yet another road test for the Auburn Tigers as they travel to Starkville, Mississippi to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs on the second Saturday of November, with a lot on the line as the season enters the final stretch.
After a hectic travel day for Alex Golesh’s squad, the 5-4 Tigers are seeking their first bowl game for the first time since 2023. They go against a Bulldogs team that is 4-5, having suffered five-consecutive defeats and the loss of their starting quarterback for the season. Auburn is trying to get back-to-back wins in this game, but it will not come easy in a place that will once again present challenges.
