Auburn vs. Mississippi State (Discussion)

Totally agree with you comments about Mullen 29.  It's starting to look more and more like Mullen made Urban Meyer rather than the other way around.  In fact my crackhead prediction for this season is that Mississippi State finishes 2nd in the SEC West behind Bama.

You guys that don't think Auburn has a chance of posting 250 rushing yards on State are absolutely nuts. Y'all do realize that they put up 400 yards rushing against the Dawgs last year despite having a quarterback that could not run in Chris Todd. And now they have Cam Newton at qb who rushed over 170 yards in his debut last week and accounted for 5 touchdowns both passing and rushing on his way to earning SEC player of the week honors. Yes, Auburn lost Ben Tate to the NFL, but his replacements are 4star Mario Fannin, 4star Onterio McCalleb, and 5star & ESPN's #1 ranked rb last year Michael Dyer. The least of Auburn's worries is running the ball on State.

For the record, Auburn's offense put up almost 600 yards against State last year to only 297 total yards by the Dawgs.

I personally see a lot of the same things happening in this game than what happened last year. Auburn beat State 49-24 last season, so let's give State another 10 points for home field advantage this season and hell, take away a touchdown from Auburn even though their offense is better in Gus Malzahn's 2nd season in command and you still have a score of AU 42 Miss St 34. Auburn covers with ease, but State will keep it close the first half.

*Disclaimer: According the box score from last year's game, AU had 390 yards rushing against State.
