After the opener at a neutral site and four consecutive home games, No. 8 Auburn plays its first true road game of the season Saturday at unranked Mississippi State.
Kickoff at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville for the matchup of Southeastern Conference West Division rivals is 7:30 p.m. ET. ESPN will have the telecast.
The Tigers (4-1, 1-1 SEC) have a huge cushion in the overall series (63-26-2) but are a more modest 13-6-1 in games played at Starkville, which has its own brand of crowd noise that can be a concern for opponents.
"It's a tough place to play," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.
