Multiple SEC football teams having COVID-19 issues; 1 game postponed

UPDATE

Now Mississippi State is having COVID-19 issues, which has led to the SEC postponing the Bulldogs’ matchup with Auburn this week. It is now tentatively set to be played on Dec. 12.

The college football season is officially halfway over and has gone fairly smooth despite the world currently going through a pandemic.

However, things are starting to get a little messy as we get ready for the final push of the 2020 season.

On Monday, Brett McMurphy reported that multiple SEC teams are experiencing issues related to COVID-19.

Texas A&M has paused practice activities for Monday due to some positive cases within the program, LSU head coach Ed Orgeron announced that the Tigers have positive cases and some players are in quarantine, and Arkansas coach Sam Pittman has tested positive as well.

So far, the SEC has done a fairly good job of limiting the amount of positive cases throughout the league this season, but this is not a positive day for SEC football.

Hopefully, the cases at these schools are minimal and wont result in too many issues moving forward.

ESPN has already noted that this week’s LSU vs. Alabama game could be in jeopardy after the positive cases and that also means that the other affected SEC teams could see their Week 11 games postponed.

We will keep you updated on the status of these games as the situation becomes clearer.
