I remember everyone picking State last year to run all over AU.

Really? I dont think that any non Mississippi State fans were picking State to win at Auburn last year and I KNOW that the spread wasnt anywhere near to the 3 points its currently at.

There are a lot more people on here other than State fans who think the Bulldogs can pull off the upset at home this Thursday.

FWIW, I was at the State/Memphis game, and was able to watch the replay of Auburn/Arky St. yesterday. I can say this much, Auburn opened up their play book a lot for an inferior team. State prob didnt run any more than 18-20 different plays and kept our offense VERY Vanilla.

Also, with that being said, Dan Mullen is familiar with Cam Newton and his weaknesses having coached him for 2 years at Florida. I think that Coach Mullen will have a game plan ready for Newton similar to what he had for Tim Tebow last year. If you remember the MSU/Florida game last year State held Tebow in Check and also forced him to throw 2 pick 6's. Florida's defense was the difference last year and I dont think the Auburn D is as good as Florida's
