A year ago Auburn and Mississippi State waged one of the ugliest football games in the history of the college sport.
Auburn prevailed 3-2 on the strength of a 35-yard Wes Byrum field goal in the second quarter.
It was Chris Todd’s first full game as the starter after sharing duties with Kodi Burns, and Todd was serviceable, hitting 15 of 26 passes for 154 yards.
Ben Tate topped the century mark, rushing for 102 yards.
In my SEC East preview, I said that the SEC Champion and Potential BCS Champion would come from the Eastern Division (if you didn’t read part 1 or have been in a coma for the last few weeks, it’s the Florida Gators). However, from top to bottom, the tougher division will likely be the Western Division, where all 3 of the top teams have a legitimate shot at facing Florida in the SEC championship game.
