Season 24 Game between the #1 Auburn Tigers and the Mississippi State Bulldogs, Week 9 in Starkville, Mississippi. https://head.ball.coach (World Bravo) Auburn Tigers Head Coach MJ Bernard came into this game on a 33 game win streak. About Mississippi State (4-2) At 4-2, Mississippi State is having a solid season and sitting in good position. Mississippi State wants to be a run-first team, but they haven't been able to get it going on the ground. That's a problem when you're built to run the football. Defensively, their defensive line is very strong, their linebackers are elite, and their secondary is solid. They lean on quarterback Micheal Harris (1246 yards, 62% comp), and it works. Linebacker Paul Wallace (91 tackles) leads them statistically on defense. This is a real turnaround story. They were 3-9 a year ago.
