The Auburn Tigers will visit Starkville this week for the first time since October 11, 2014 when they were in the top 5 and so were the Bulldogs. It was a game to remember, so we’ll do just that today.
Setting the stage…
The week prior was quickly referred to as the ‘greatest football day in the state of Mississippi’s history’ when MSU stomped #6 Texas A&M and Ole Miss beat #3 Alabama (#1 in the Coaches poll). Those wins vaulted the two teams into a tie for the #3 national ranking.
Mississippi State would have no time to celebrate, however, as #2 Auburn was coming to Starkville the next week.
