How to watch the Auburn vs. Mississippi State game today? Time, channel, TV schedule and live stream - Saturday, 28th Oct. | College Football Week 9
Two SEC schools looking to turn around their seasons face off this Saturday. The Auburn Tigers and the Mississippi State Bulldogs will clash at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.
Auburn currently has an overall record of 3-4, while the Bulldogs are 4-3. However, the Bulldogs have a slightly better conference record of 1-3 when compared to the Tigers' 0-4.
Neither school can realistically chase a bowl season, with difficult schedules ahead. Mississippi State has three difficult encounters with Kentucky, Texas A&M and No. 12 Ole Miss before the end of the season. Auburn has an easier road ahead, but it closes the season with a game against No. 9 Alabama. They do face two of the worst SEC schools this year, Vanderbilt and Arkansas, and a non-Power Five school.
Last year, the Bulldogs came out on top 39-33 in a game of contrasting offensive natures. Bulldogs quarterback Will Rogers threw for 357 yards, with three touchdown passes and one interception. For his part, Robby Ashford threw for only 75 yards for Auburn while leading its rushing department with 108 yards and two touchdowns.
