In 2013, the teams played to the final gun, and it was the Auburn Tigers that came out on top 24-20 when Nick Marshall found his tight end, CJ Uzomah, on an 11-yard touchdown pass with only ten seconds left in the game. The pass was Marshall’s 23^rd completion on 34 attempts and gave him 339 yards – all of which are still career highs for the senior QB.

Looking ahead to the 2014 showdown, it’s fair to say that this is the biggest game in the football series history between Auburn and Mississippi State. This year’s matchup will feature the undefeated and second ranked Auburn Tigers travelling to Starkville to face the No. 3, 5-0 Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis-Wade Stadium, which is in its 100^th season.

The 2014 contest marks the first time since 2000 both teams have been ranked coming into the annual SEC West showdown. With the Bulldogs ranked third in the AP Poll and sixth in the Coaches Poll, State will have its highest ranking in this matchup since the No. 14 Bulldogs beat Auburn 18-16 in 1999.
