The Mississippi State football team must play better than it has so far in SEC play if it wants to take down the No. 8 Auburn Tigers

It’s certainly fair to say that the Mississippi State football team hasn’t played well against Southeastern Conference opponents so far this season. After getting off to a great start against subpar competition early on this year, the Mississippi State football team has appeared absolutely inept against both the Kentucky Wildcats and the Florida Gators.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs have gone through a rough couple of weeks. They’re currently 3-2 this season. Things don’t look anywhere near as good as MSU fans had hoped that they would at this point.

Realistically, the Mississippi State Bulldogs should be undefeated at this point in the season with everything that Joe Moorhead’s coaching staff inherited. But the past couple of weeks have been wasted. That talent, especially on offense, has unfortunately been disregarded. The Bulldogs have lost because of their offense the past two weeks.

Lo and behold, yet another challenge will appear in Davis Wade Stadium this week.

The No. 8 ranked Auburn Tigers have had offensive problems of their own this season. Things could be going better for them as well. And despite the fact that many Auburn fans believed that their team would also be undefeated at this point in the season, that also isn’t the case.

It’s time to get ready for the Mississippi State football game against the Auburn Tigers. Here’s what you need to know about the Bulldogs’ opponents.
