In other news, State has seen another player opt out. What does that mean going forward?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host, Steve Robertson here on the Maroon Friday, addition to the yard. Hope things are well with you wherever you are today. It's Friday. So I hope it's a payday for you, for you weekly and bi-weekly wage runners. Maybe it is. Looking forward to you guys getting back to Stargible here. We had hoped to be there this weekend. As you guys are well aware, we're not playing Auburn this weekend. |
| 0:23.6 | Part of a rash of games around the SEC that have been postponed due to COVID-related |
| 0:28.2 | issues. |
| 0:28.7 | I think it's important, too, to kind of take all that in the proper context. |
| 0:32.9 | We have not had a massive outbreak of positive tests at Mississippi State. |
| 0:38.1 | We have had some positive tests, yes. |
| 0:40.6 | But the bulk of these issues relate to contract tracing. |
| 0:45.0 | And so as a result, you know, it's better safe than sorry. |
| 0:47.7 | So when you have players and personnel that have been in contact with people who are infected, |
| 0:54.0 | you remove them from circulation. |
| 0:57.1 | They're not around the other football players, not around the staffers, not around the complex. |

| 1:02.0 | So be that as it may, you got hung up here with, you know, you don't have enough players to play a football game. |
| 1:12.3 | And to be fair, and I know many people, maybe you're kind of dancing around this issue, |
| 1:17.7 | I don't think Mississippi State would have done really well this weekend, |
| 1:21.4 | considering the players that are out. |
| 1:23.7 | And basically, you take last weekend's roster and then subtract a couple of guys off of that. And that's a team you would have played with. And that's not to throw shade at any of those guys. I know they're all working hard and doing their very best. But with Auburn coming off a by week and then the Bulldogs, you know, bouncing back from a couple of difficult defeats there and beating Vanderbilt, but not necessarily |
| 1:44.3 | an impressive fashion. I mean, at the end of the day, you won the ballgame. And so, and there's no |
| 1:48.0 | way of trying to diminish that win. But I think you could beat Vanderbilt with a bit of a, you know, |
| 1:55.1 | a handicap roster. I don't know that you can beat Auburn, especially a fresh Auburn team, |
| 1:59.5 | even on the road, coming off of an |
| 2:02.1 | open day. |
