Auburn football is 3-2, and suddenly the Tigers' trip to Mississippi State could become the most important game remaining on Alex Golesh's schedule. After losing to Tennessee, Auburn enters a brutal stretch with Georgia on the road, LSU at home and Ole Miss in Oxford. If the Tigers struggle through October, the entire conversation shifts toward finding six wins and getting Auburn back to a bowl game. Samford and Arkansas currently look like Auburn's best opportunities for victories down the stretch. Alabama will be waiting in the Iron Bowl. That leaves Mississippi State as a potentially season-defining matchup. A win in Starkville could get Auburn to six victories and create an opportunity to finish 7-6 with a bowl win. That would completely change the feeling surrounding Golesh's first season heading into signing day, roster retention and the transfer portal. Mississippi State also has questions of its own, including injuries surrounding quarterback Kamario Taylor and other important pieces. Of course, Auburn can change the entire equation before then. An upset against Georgia, LSU or Ole Miss would reopen the possibility of a 7-5 regular season and make the path significantly easier. But based on where things stand today, Mississippi State might determine whether Auburn's season ends with progress and postseason football or another disappointing finish. #Auburn #AuburnFootball #WarEagle Photo Credit: Randy Sartin IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
