Mississippi State and 21st-ranked Auburn will not play football this weekend. Saturday’s game in Starkville has been postponed due to some positive COVID-19 tests and other concerns about close contact. The SEC is tentatively rescheduling the game for December 12th.
The LSU Tigers’ football program is undergoing a small COVID-19 outbreak. Four players have tested positive for the coronavirus, but multiple players are reportedly in quarantine, according to The Athletic. The Tigers are also down to just one scholarship quarterback on the roster at the moment.
According to Sports Illustrated, the cases stem from a Halloween party. The program’s thin roster has reportedly raised doubts about the viability of their upcoming contest against top-ranked Alabama on Saturday.
