WWW.MSTATEATHLETICS.COM THE LAST MEETING

Mississippi State 19 THE LAST MEETING Auburn 14 September 15, 2007 Jordan-Hare Stadium • Auburn, Ala.

AUBURN, Ala. - An interception that led to a mid-fourth-quarter drive by Mississippi State proved to be the difference in the Bulldogs' 19-14 upset win at Auburn Saturday afternoon on the Plains. After Blake McAdams' 73-yard punt had pinned Auburn deep in its own territory, Demario Bobo's first career interception of a tipped Tiger pass at the AU 44-yard line would set up an MSU drive that was the only scoring play of the second half. State drove the 44 yards on 10 plays and finished it with a 5-yard Christian Ducre with 5:29 to go in regulation. The two-point conversion failed. Ducre had an 18-yard rush earlier on the drive on a third-and-12 draw play from the Auburn 25. Neither team had mounted much momentum in the second half of action before the MSU score, trading short drives back and forth throughout. The only other possessions of significance in the half were Auburn's first and last of the half. AU took the ball to open the third quarter and went 60 yards to the MSU 16 before fumbling the ball away. On its last attempt of the game, to try and answer MSU's score, Auburn starting quarterback GAME NOTES Brandon Cox returned to the field after being • The Bulldogs have won their last three games in the State of Alabama (at both benched early on in favor of backup Kodi Burns.
