Impressive Auburn win

The Tigers 49-24 win over Mississippi State on Saturday was certainly impressive from a scoring standpoint. But what may have been most encouraging about this win for Auburn was the character the team showed when falling behind after a blocked punt was returned for a touchdown.
Just like that, Mississippi State had taken the lead and erased a 14-0 AU advantage to go ahead 17-14.
Yet just like that, Auburn scored two quick touchdowns to lead 28-17 at halftime and never look back.
So far, this is a fun bunch to watch. The Tigers get off the deck in a hurry and fight back without hesitation.
The enthusiasm and energy shown by the players and coaches is far, far different than what we saw last season.
Good stuff indeed.
