    What a game, Auburn stops Miss State on about the 2 inch line on the last play of the game and wins 41 - 34.

    Good game but at this point Auburn had a lot of luck go their way the last two games. But that is what it takes sometimes to have a great season.

    Really good game to watch.

    I didn't see the game but one board I read says MSU got screwed on that last goal line series. Was there a controversial play? I did see the replay of the final stop, but that looked clean.

    I thought they did. Auburn went for it on 4th down and the announcers thought it was very generous spot and I agreed. It was such a close measurement that a referee had to kneel and look. Auburn got a TD on that drive, and yes I though Miss State was screwed.

    On the last play of the game the QB had such momentum I was sure he would score, but the Auburn tackler made a heck of a tackle and did keep him out.

    Seems teams get in a lucky stage and Auburn seems to be in one right now where everything goes their way.

    for as much as I love to rib Dave about his black helicopter conspiracy theories, but in all honesty.. some really 'odd' things happen at Auburn and they do every single year...

    I tried in another section to tease Bill about this, but it didn't work.. Auburn is a rough place to play... I haven't seen a home field advantage that bad outside of AA since the 70s.

    Wow, how happy is Auburn to start their SEC schedule already?!?

    Seriously, I didn't see a chance in hell Auburn would be within two TDs of Miss. St. Yet another year that I have bought into the smoke that is the Bulldogs defense.
