Turnovers:

These were the story of the game. Auburn turned the ball over four times, and three of those times it was deep in their own territory allowing MSU to score a quick touchdown. Mississippi State turned it over four times as well….and it could have been more – the Bulldogs fumbled five times but only one was recovered by Auburn.
