Sampler Platter: We Roll on, and on, and on

Last year week four saw Indiana stun Missouri in Columbia; Mississippi State make its presence known nationally with a win at LSU; and Oregon barely survive Washington State in Pullman. This year week four is a minefield for those who misstep. Let’s jump in.

GAME OF THE WEEK: MISSISSIPPI STATE at AUBURN

Let’s go back a year. This was the week’s GameDay game. It featured number-two State hosting number-three Auburn. It was a mega game. This year it’s all about subplots. Neither team is ranked. State lost to LSU in its only real test of the season. Auburn is a raging dumpster fire in need of something to right the ship. Sean White will get the keys to Auburn’s offense, and it can’t be worse than it was under Jeremy Johnson. Auburn is trying to reset and State is trying to get some momentum heading into a rough date at Texas A&M next week. Dak Prescott will be the player on the field, but the game is at Jordan-Hare.
