The Mississippi State Bulldogs host their SEC West rivals, the Auburn Tigers, in Week 6. Here is how to watch the SEC West rivalry game online.
Week 6 will feature mostly conference games. One of them on the SEC slate this weekend will be on Saturday, October 8th at 12:00 p.m. ET when the Mississippi State Bulldogs host their SEC West rivals, the Auburn Tigers. ESPN will have the game coming from Davis Wade Stadium. The available live stream can be found at WatchESPN.
Auburn comes in at 3-2 (1-1) on the year. The Tigers are feeling pretty good about themselves. Auburn’s defense is light years better under new defensive coordinator Kevin Steele. The Tigers have an SEC win over LSU, and its two losses are to two top 10 teams, the No. 3 Clemson Tigers and the No. 8 Texas A&M Aggies. However, Auburn struggles to score points against teams that matter in Gus Malzahn’s antiquated ‘hurry-up-and-run’ spread attack.
Mississippi State is 2-2 (1-1) on the year. The Bulldogs had their bye in Week 5 after beating the UMass Minutemen in Foxborough in Week 4. Mississippi State had a tough Week 1 loss to the South Alabama Jaguars, but is 1-1 in SEC play. The Bulldogs beat South Carolina but fell to LSU.
