Kickoff at Jordan-Hare is at 11 on ESPN. Auburn is 6 & 3 and MSU is 5-4. Mike Leach brings in his amazing flying machine for which he is famous. Auburn is maybe a 4 point favorite. After last week's debacle in Texas will our offense show up? It will need to because State will score some points. Can our defense slow down their air raid offense? We will see.
FIRST QUARTER
First play from scrimmage Auburn with a long completion to Jackson from the Auburn 33 to the State 19. First down to the 9. Bigsby to the 5. Bigsby bulls his way to the end zone. Auburn goes 67 yards in 5 plays. Nice way to start this game.
Auburn 7 State 0
Anders kickoff goes out of bounds. From the 35 to the State 46 go the Bulldogs. To the Auburn 49. State goes to 4th and 1 at the Auburn 45. First down completion to the 39. We move to third and 10 from the Auburn 39. Would've been 4th and 10 but a roughing penalty against Moultry allows State to keep the ball. State on our 24. Big mistake by Moultry. First down at the 15. False start first and 15. Second and 15. Third and 10 at the Auburn 15. Fourth and 12 after a delay penalty. FG good.

Auburn 28 to 10 at the half.
THIRD QUARTER
State receives and goes right down the 75 yards for the touchdown. Looked easy.
Auburn 28 State 17
Not the way we wanted to start the second half. Can our offense respond?
After one first down Auburn is punting. The punt is downed at the State two. If we manage to hold them here this will be a big play in this game.
An interference call on third and two gets a first down. Down the field the Bullies go driving 98 yards for the touchdown. My oh, my, how this game has turned around. State goes for two and we finally sack their QB.
Auburn 28 State 23
What now?
On third and 8 there is a long completion of 46 yards. Facing third down at the 18. Fourth down at the 18. THE FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT IS BLOCKED. OH MY!!! This game is amazingly going in reverse motion.
Momentum is totally going their way. Now our defense seems unable to stop them. As the quarter ends State has a first down at our 25.
FOURTH QUARTER
State goes right down the field unstoppable for the third straight time in this half the score coming from the 6 to a wide open receiver in the end zone. The two point attempt is no good,
Auburn 28 State 29
I am in shock.
This team has got to get itself together in a hurry.
But we go 3 and out on 4th and 19. This game has slipped away. The Bulldogs will have the ball in great field position after the punt. This is sad to watch. This is a complete second half collapse.
Quickly they are inside our 15. They move inside our five. Our defense looks helpless. TD pass from the four. What a collapse by Auburn. This has to be one of the worst in history.
Auburn 28 State 36
I don't what to say.
9:35 left.
No offense. We try a fake punt but the punter's pass is batted away. With good field position we get a sack but they are still threatening. Another sack. The second sack was reviewed and called targeting. The TV announcers denounce the call on Moultry. Adding insult to injury. First and 10 at our 11. Touchdown State. Amazing comeback and collapse by Auburn. The Tigers have no answers. The call on Moultry is disgusting but our team in the second half is more disgusting.
Auburn 28 State 43
The offense finally gets it going. Touchdown pass to J Johnson. The play is reviewed to make sure he crossed the goal line. In review the ball is placed inside the one. Touchdown.
But the 2 point attempt is no good.
Auburn 34 State 43
The onside kick is not recovered.
3:29 left. Game over.
Auburn gets the ball, Finley comes, and promptly drops the football and State recovers.
2:48 left and Auburn is out of timeouts. The Tigers completely broke down in the second half.
FINAL SCORE
43 - 34 STATE
