re: Auburn gonna destroy miss state.

As a State grad I would like to say I agree with this entire post. Auburn was only played close or lost because of their own mistakes. No one every succeeded in accomplishing anything against them last year. Florida State can thank Auburn for not covering the route across the middle in the final seconds of the NC. That won't be repeated this year.

Auburn will go undefeated this year and no one will play them close. Especially not Miss State. State will be lucky to get a first down in that game. State has no chance. I say 49 - 0 Auburn, with Auburn backups taking a knee the entire 4th quarter, just to give the defensive reserves some reps.

Great research and observeration, OP.
