Auburn football's head coach Alex Golesh feels it is important that the Tigers are prepared for what he describes as a tough travel to Mississippi State.
The Tigers will take on the Bulldogs in Starkville on Saturday, and kickoff is set for 11 a.m. Auburn is opting to make the trip to Mississippi State the morning before the game.
"This is a tough travel," Golesh said. "I talked about it at length this morning. The morning game piece is real. This is as early of a start with a legit travel and a bus ride in the morning. We've got to practice what that looks like, and that started this morning into Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday, having the right intent, the right focus, the right detail, the right energy level to go start fast."
Auburn will enter Saturday's matchup 5-4 with an opportunity to become bowl-eligible with another SEC win.
