Worst case scenario is a fitting description of what occurred in Mississippi Stateโ€™s dramatic comeback Week 11 victory over Auburn football.

The Tigers were up 28-10 at halftime, holding a lead as high as 25 at one point, but were ultimately defeated by multiple scores against an unranked team on their home turf.
