What TV channel is Auburn-Mississippi State tonight? Live stream, time, how to watch online
Auburn – with interim coach Carnell Williams – and Mississippi State play on Saturday, Nov. 5. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
Auburn plays at Mississippi State in its first game since firing Bryan Harsin. The Tigers have lost five of six. Mississippi State is coming off an open date after consecutive losses to Kentucky and Alabama.
Will Rogers remains the SEC’s top passer and leader in total offense and needs one touchdown pass to surpass Dak Prescott’s school record of 70.
Rogers tossed six touchdown passes in last year’s record-breaking comeback and has kept on rolling. He remains the SEC leader in passing (319.4 yards per game) and total offense (307.5) and will surpass Dak Prescott (70) for career touchdown passes with his next scoring toss.
The Tigers’ pass defense has been a bright spot, ranking fourth in the conference at 193.8 yards per contest. But slowing the fast-paced Air Raid is a tall task, and they will look to Derick Hall and Colby Wooden to provide pressure. Hall has 4.5 sacks and Wooden four to rank seventh and eighth in the SEC.
