Auburn 41 - 34 Mississippi St. (Final)

MSU had 531 yards of total offense in this game, and a remarkable 333 rushing yards. With 10 seconds to go -- and with no timeouts left -- the Bulldogs only needed two yards. Rather trying a pass, which keeps alive the possibility of stopping the clock if the pass is incomplete, the MSU coach gave the ball to his quarterback, Chris Reif, who had already run for 113 yards in this game. Reif spotted a hole, and it certainly looked as though he was going in. But then -- at the last possible minute -- he was cold-cocked by the Auburn safety, and he fell at once. The ball hit the ground about six inches short of the goal line, the last few seconds of game ran out, and Auburn had AGAIN DEFENDED THE UCFC!

Auburn's UCFC record is now 17-8. MSU's UCFC record falls to 1-8.

What a game. What a start to the season.

We'll see you next week when Auburn defends the UCFC in Clemson, South Carolina.
