Weird, wild stuff -- In-League Version

Three-two.
What is that? Sets won in a Nadal-Federer championship tennis match? The low-alcohol beer we used to makes runs to Ohio for? The last seconds of a NASA countdown to liftoff?
Nope. A football final, Auburn over Mississippi State. The Tigers' D was awesome, baby. But, come on, two fumbles in the late stages, both of which gave the Bulldogs a chance to win by the bizarr-o score of 5-3? Auburn ducked not just one bullet, but a fusilade.
Tigers coach Tommy Tuberville, as a former defensive coordinator, saw beauty where the rest of us saw ugly. Good D should be applauded, but critical turnovers and an anemic offense by a top 10 team might send Auburn fans to drink. And not 3.2 beer.
What say you, Tiger followers? Any worries?
