AUBURN, Ala. – Not even one second had ticked off the game clock on Saturday night in Mississippi State’s game at No. 7 Auburn before flags were on the field. It was a delay of game penalty against the Bulldogs. Right from the jump, MSU was backing up five yards. On a night full of backwards steps, those were only the first.
Mississippi State was essentially never competitive in the ballgame as the Bulldogs fell behind 21-0 in just over six minutes of action, trailed 42-9 at halftime and then eventually fell 56-23 to the Tigers.
