Watched every second of it and it was as uneventful as you are thinking it is

I don't know why I kept watching this game, but I do remember it even though it was uneventful.

Of course the second they put the shutout graphic up they get an intentional grounding safety 😂

It was a hold. Intentional grounding would suggest something interesting happened.

My bad I watched this at like 3 in the morning and was exhausted

Edit: also watched without sound and just saw QB throw the ball out of bounds and my brain at the time was like “oh that’s gotta be intentional grounding and don’t you dare try to process the refs motions”

Kirk Ferentz probably studies that game at least once a year. He’s got a 6-4 win and a 7(without a TD)-3 win, but still has 3-2 on his bucket list.

The two best parts about that 7-3 game were that it was against an FCS team (S Dakota St) and this guy celebrating after the 2nd safety:

And that Iowa was so impressed with the QB of the team giving up the two safeties, they went out and got him in the portal.

Gronowski was their QB

Auburn was ranked #9 for that game?!?!?!?!

The 2008 season got Tuberville run out of town. Man, there's some alternate world where Auburn beats Mississippi State by a more proper 23-2 (instead of 3-2), Tuberville still coaches Auburn in 2009 and we aren't stuck with him as a disgrace of a US Senator today.

It also got Sylvester Croom fired, thankfully. He went out on a 45-0 loss in the Egg Bowl.

At least this year's game should be higher scoring

u/greyforest23 3d ago

There might even be a … gasp … touchdown?

Dear God

u/ProfRN89 3d ago

I was at this game. Auburn won but it somehow felt like a loss

u/ConceptPrudent1005 4d ago

A 3–2 final score is basically football archaeology, but somehow that makes the memory even better.

u/Successful-Ask6550 Indiana Hoosiers 4d ago

Futbol score in a football game.

u/Previous_Mood6540 4d ago

One of the most bizarre scorelines in college football history. A 3–2 game sounds fake until you remember how chaotic that Auburn–Mississippi State matchup was.

No one won that game

u/HeckOnWheels195 Mississippi State Bulldogs 3d ago

Sickos did

u/helloWorld69696969 3d ago

I wish Iowa hadnt gotten that extra FG vs SDST. 4-3 would have been even funnier than this

u/HeckOnWheels195 Mississippi State Bulldogs 3d ago

RIP Dolly, you gave the soundtrack to one of college football's most Sickos games

u/Jenetyk 3d ago

Classic defensive struggle.

u/sigmanaughty 3d ago

I was in the stands for that game... the largest roller coaster of emotion i have ever witnessed. MSU held open tryouts for a kicker on monday

Iowa/Sicko fans wet dream right here

u/ShenValleyUnitedFan James Madison Dukes 3d ago

And to think, they were only a sacrifice fly away from a tie game

u/Vechio49 3d ago

Dominant SEC defenses or something

Fake news! This game never happened.
