Dooms Day

That is about all I can say. State came out flat in the first half. Auburn played a lot better than last week, and we just couldn't get the offense going. The running game was shut down and we couldn't connect on important downs. Auburn played well, and State didn't start until the second half.

I am glad to see the the Bulldogs didn't give up like they usually would in blow out games like this one.

The one stat that stood out was the turnover ratio. State killed themselves all day long with the penalties. It seemed like every offensive possession started with 1st and 15 or 1st and 20, all because of the stupid penalties.

I will end with this. I haven't thrown the season away like I would of in the last three previous seasons, but I will need to see some scoring in the next game, or I won't be a happy camper. Next up for the Bulldogs is Tulane in Shreveport, LA. I think we can bounce back next week with a win, but we will have to see.
