War Eagle, everybody! It’s time now for another Auburn football preview! On October 8th, the Tigers take their first road trip of the year, heading to Starkville to play the Mississippi State Bulldogs. There are reasons for optimism in this game. Auburn will have had a chance to play lesser non-conference foe Louisiana Monroe the week before, while the Bulldogs have a bye week. With both teams likely sporting a loss to LSU, this game will take the loser pretty much out of any division championship hopes.
Auburn starts this season with 5 consecutive games at home in Jordan Hare Stadium, before hitting the road to Starkville.
