Mississippi State reporter Justin Strawn notes that Autry played last weekend, but is out again against Kansas State:

The Bulldogs have managed to overcome the suspensions the first two weeks, but will it affect them vs. a Power 5 opponent in Kansas State? We’ll find out at noon Eastern time on ESPN.
