15 Oct
Summary
- Key starters Kamario Taylor and Fluff Bothwell are questionable.
- Both players exited the previous game against Alabama with injuries.

Mississippi State's No. 19 football team faces uncertainty regarding key players for their upcoming game against No. 21 LSU. Quarterback Kamario Taylor and running back Fluff Bothwell are both listed as questionable on the initial SEC availability report. This status update comes after both players exited the Bulldogs' recent 56-23 loss to Alabama with injuries.
Taylor was observed with a boot on his right foot after leaving the Alabama game. Similarly, Bothwell sustained an injury on the first drive and was seen wearing a boot on his left foot. The team's depth chart indicates Billy Puckett and AJ Swann as co-backups for Taylor.
The Bulldogs' defensive front also faces challenges, with two linebackers potentially out against LSU. Jalen Smith is ruled out due to an injury sustained against Alabama, while starter Zakari Tillman, who has played sparingly this season, is listed as doubtful.
The availability report will be updated nightly leading up to the game. The Bulldogs are preparing for the Oct. 17 contest against LSU, which is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT and will be broadcast on ESPN.
