Mississippi State’s quarterback AJ Swann left the game against Auburn on November 14 after suffering an injury shortly after throwing a touchdown pass. Swann limped off the field in the second quarter at Davis Wade Stadium, handing over the reins to backup Billy Puckett.
Swann connected with Sanfrisco Magee for a touchdown before exiting, leaving Mississippi State trailing 10-7. The Bulldogs faced the challenge of continuing the game without their starting quarterback as they searched for answers on offense.
Billy Puckett entered the game to fill Swann's spot under center, with Mississippi State also having quarterbacks Brodie McWhorter and Jaden Rashada available on the roster. The injury came at a tense moment, with the Bulldogs trying to keep pace against the Tigers.
At the time of Swann’s departure, Mississippi State was just behind Auburn in a closely contested match. The impact of Swann’s injury on the game’s outcome remained uncertain as the contest unfolded.
Sam Sklar, the Mississippi State beat reporter for the Clarion Ledger, confirmed the injury and provided coverage throughout the game. Sklar can be reached at ssklar@usatodayco.com and followed on X @sklarsam_ for further updates.
