Mississippi State’s defense containing Auburn quarterback Bo Nix

While the Bulldogs are stout and formidable up front, they will be dealing with a star in the making in Nix. Nix has passed for 645 yards and five touchdowns. He has also rushed for 117 yards and a score. That said, the Bulldogs will make Nix fight for every yard.

Erroll Thompson and Chauncey Rivers are sure to have their way against Nix, as both have the speed and power to make an immediate impact.
