Tiger Buzz: Auburn vs. Mississippi State TV info, key matchups and what to watch for

How Carnell ‘Cadillac’ Williams begins his term as Auburn’s interim coach. Auburn parted with Bryan Harsin, who went 9-12 in 21 games as the Tigers’ head coach. Auburn is on a four-game losing streak after a last week’s loss to Arkansas in Harsin’s final match at Auburn.

The Tigers have a 65-28-2 record all-time against Mississippi State and have won eight of the last 13 matchups against the Bulldogs. Auburn was a 24-10 victor in Starkville in 2020, but Mississippi State won 43-34 in Auburn last season. The Tigers blew a 28-3 lead in a game that started the downward spiral under Harsin.1. How will Auburn handle a tumultuous week? In-season coaching changes might make frustrated fans feel better, but they’re not easy on the players or coaching staff.

2. Robby Ashford’s best performance of the season was in defeat against Arkansas. The Oregon transfer led the team in rushing with 87 yards and threw for 285 yards on 24-33 passing and a nine-yard touchdown pass to freshman Camden Brown. Ashford is developing into a viable starting quarterback. He could take another step against the Bulldogs.

3. Can Auburn win battles in the trenches? Auburn has been getting gashed in the run game on defense and struggling to maintain drives on offense. Williams said he wants to return to playing a physical style of football. If Auburn can get back running the ball effectively with Tank Bigsby, Jarquez Hunter, and freshman Damari Alston, the Tigers have a much better chance of winning.Auburn’s secondary versus Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers is the matchup most worth watching.

Unfortunately it doesn’t matter, next.
