Anthony Evans III - Target leader in loss Evans reeled in 7 of 10 targets for 40 yards during Saturday's 31-0 defeat to LSU.

Impact Evans led the team in receptions, receiving yards and targets, however, LSU limited his explosiveness, holding him to just 5.7 yards-per-reception. The senior wide receiver was coming off back-to-back games with more than 100 receiving yards but with starting quarterback Kamario Taylor (toe) out for this contest, the offense struggled to get much production. He will aim for a bigger performance during their next meeting with Oklahoma.

Sanfrisco Magee - Minimal output in loss Magee gathered in 3 of 4 targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 31-0 defeat versus LSU.

Impact Magee finished second in receiving yards and his four targets represented a modest share of the passing offense. With Kamario Taylor (toe) out, the team struggled to get much production through the air. The redshirt sophomore wide receiver will aim for a better outing against Arkansas on Oct. 31.

Parker Puckett - Throws turnover in loss Puckett completed 16 of 26 passes for 121 yards and one interception during Saturday's 31-0 loss to LSU. He also had 11 rushes for 40 yards.

Impact Starting in place of the injured Kamario Taylor (toe), Puckett struggled to move the offense through the air, averaging just 4.7 yards-per-attempt. The redshirt freshman quarterback showed some mobility, however, Mississippi State was shut out despite reaching LSU territory on multiple possessions. Should Taylor be forced to miss more time, he will work on improving for the team's next contest against the Sooners.

Kamario Taylor - Still day-to-day Taylor (toe) is still day-to-day, Sam Sklar of The Clarion Ledger reports.

Impact Mississippi State's head coach Jeff Lebby commented on Taylor to the media Monday. "He (Taylor) didn't wake up yesterday morning and was healed. It's going to be day-to-day," the HC announced. "He's got a lot of work to do, but we'll see where we end up." Ideally for Mississippi State, it will not be like last time Taylor was day-to-day before a game, as he ultimately did not play and watched the Aggies get shut out by LSU. For their next game, they host Oklahoma on Oct. 24.

Fluff Bothwell - Spotted in boot Saturday Bothwell (foot) is in a boot on the sidelines ahead of Saturday's game at LSU, Brett Kemper of SI Now reports.

Impact Bothwell has already been ruled out for Saturday's ranked clash, but his appearance on the sidelines in a boot suggests he may miss more than just this week. He suffered an injury to his left foot early in Week 5's loss to Alabama, though the exact injury is unknown. The Bulldogs' next game is next Saturday at Oklahoma, and Bothwell is at risk of missing that contest as well.

Fluff Bothwell - Won't play Saturday Bothwell (foot) will miss Saturday's game versus LSU, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Bothwell was deemed doubtful leading up to the contest, so his ultimately missing the contest doesn't come as a shock. The star running back will have another chance to rejoin the action next week against Oklahoma, but look for Kolin Wilson and Xaiver Gayten to potentially see more work in his absence.

Kamario Taylor - Won't play Saturday Taylor (toe) will miss Saturday's game versus LSU, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Taylor, who was already considered doubtful for Saturday's ranked matchup, has officially been ruled out. It's a massive blow for the Bulldogs as Taylor has accounted for 18 total touchdowns through five games this season. Parker Puckett will likely start in his place.

Anthony Evans III - Off availability report Evans (undisclosed) is no longer listed ahead of Saturday's game versus LSU, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Evans was listed as probable on Friday's report, so his being available doesn't come as a major surprise. Evans will aim to pick up where he left off, coming out of his best showing of the year against Alabama, but he'll be without starting quarterback Kamario Taylor (toe).

Fluff Bothwell - Listed doubtful for Saturday Bothwell (foot) holds a doubtful designation for Saturday's game versus LSU, per the SEC availability report.

Impact Bothwell was downgraded from questionable to doubtful, so his chances of playing Saturday are trending in the wrong direction. If he's unavailable, Kolin Wilson should get most of the touches in the backfield for Mississippi State.

Kamario Taylor - Not expected to play Saturday Taylor (toe) is expected to be downgraded to doubtful and is not expected to play Saturday at LSU, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Taylor is in line to miss his first contest of the season as he continues to work through a toe injury. The quarterback sustained the injury against Missouri before aggravating it against Alabama in Week 5, forcing him to exit the game. Parker Puckett is positioned to operate as the lead signal-caller, though no official starter announcement has been made. Mississippi State's availability report is expected to be released Friday, giving more clarification on Taylor's status.

Kamario Taylor - Injury revealed, skepticism on availability Taylor (toe) is working to play in Saturday's game at LSU, but there is shared skepticism on his availability for the matchup, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Previously undisclosed, Taylor's injury is a turf toe that the quarterback has dealt with since the end of Mississippi State's game with Missouri in Week 4, even though he subsequently played against Alabama. Skepticism about the quarterback's availability suggests he is more doubtful than probable going into Week 7, which is unfortunate timing for the rising QB scheduled to face an LSU team potentially reeling from an upset loss to Kentucky.

Anthony Evans III - Probable to play Evans is probable for Saturday's game against LSU.

Impact Evans is coming off a season-high 12 catches for 166 yards and two scores against Alabama in Week 5. It's likely he suits up and remains an integral part of the Bulldogs' passing attack Saturday.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ayden Williams - Won't play vs. LSU Williams (undisclosed) is listed as out before Saturday's matchup against LSU.

Impact Williams will not make his season debut on Saturday against the Tigers as he continues to battle an undisclosed injury. The wide receiver will have the chance to make his season debut next week against Oklahoma.

Fluff Bothwell - Deemed questionable Bothwell (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against LSU.

Impact Bothwell is officially questionable to play this weekend after suffering a left foot injury in Week 5 against Alabama. The bye week certainly helped his chances of playing and his status will be worth monitoring closely leading into Saturday. Kolin Wilson figures to be the feature back if Bothwell is unable to go.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kamario Taylor - Officially questionable versus LSU Taylor (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's tilt at LSU.

Impact Taylor remains questionable ahead of Saturday's contest, though he still has a few days to upgrade his status. The quarterback exited the field in Week 5 against Alabama and had a bye week to recover. If he is unable to suit up, Parker Puckett is positioned to start under center.
