Auburn football showed life last Saturday at Mississippi State, although it was not enough for them to earn a win.
The Tigers trailed Mississippi State, 24-6 at halftime before storming back to force the game into overtime. Auburn outscored the Bulldogs 27-9 in the 2nd half, which is uncharacteristic of this season’s team.
The momentum did not stay with Auburn long enough, as Mississippi State’s Jo’quavious Marks rushed from six yards out to score the walk-off touchdown for the Bulldogs in overtime to seal the 39-33 win.
