Game of the Week II

Auburn running backs coach Eddie Gran, focusing this week on curtailing fumbles, described a drill thusly: "We knock the dog pee out of each other . . . "
Shouldn't it be Mississippi State -- the Bulldogs -- who are spilling canine urine?
Both teams step up in class in their Starkville showdown after two relatively tissue opponents apiece, though MSU did lose its opener at Louisiana Tech and Auburn was no great shakes against Southern Miss.
Motivation sides with the Tigers, stunned by MSU in Auburn last year. Tommy Tuberville has settled on a quarterback, Chris Todd, who has not exactly earned the gig clear-cut in the new spread offense that has yet to spread its wings.
MSU is no, uh, piss-ant, against Auburn and will hang tough but, well, pee-ter out at the end.
