Auburn Tigers vs Mississippi State Bulldogs - September 10, 2005 (22 images) I went to this game with Mike to see the Mississippi State Bulldogs (my 10th SEC team) for the first time. Auburn was coming off their first game of the year, a loss to Georgia Tech (see my 9/3/2005 gallery). The Miss State game was both teams' SEC opener. Auburn played quite well: QB Brandon Cox had a great game and the defense shutout the Bulldogs to lead the Tigers to a 28-0 victory.
