How does Auburn’s defense look this season?

Auburn’s defense has looked terrifying this season. That’s not an understatement. The Tigers are incredibly physical and will probably create plenty of issues for Nick Fitzgerald and the Bulldogs offense.

The Auburn defense has racked up 14 sacks this season so far and has 7 interceptions to go right along with that. Up to this point, the Mississippi State football team hasn’t exactly shown the ability to play error free football on offense. In this game, the Bulldogs will need to prove that they can do it if they hope to stand a chance.

Auburn is looking to capitalize on every possible mistake that the Bulldogs make. Fitzgerald will need to play at a level that he hasn’t reached much throughout his career to give MSU a shot against this defense.
