Coming into this week’s Mississippi State-Auburn game, the team facing the biggest question was Auburn: Was it an anomaly that the defending national champion had to fight off a challenge from Utah State out of the WAC in Week 1, or would the Tigers struggle to compete in the SEC this week? So far, go with the former. In fact, it looks like we might be headed for a track meet.
Mississippi State Vs. Auburn Score: Tigers Take Quick Lead But Bulldogs Tie It, 14-14
Auburn started out with a 14-0 lead, starting with a 35-yard run by Michael Dyer. The second score came in slightly less conventional fashion, when State quarterback Chris Relf bounced a pass off the head of an Auburn defender and into the waiting hands of Demetruce McNeal, who returned the interception 44 yards for the score.
The next drive went slightly better for Mississippi State, when LaDarius Perkins scored on a 40-yard run to cut the lead in half. And Relf redeemed himself on the next series, throwing a 15-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Heavens. Hold on -- this one could get interesting.
