STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) - In one of the ugliest games in recent college football history, Auburn and Mississippi State punted, fumbled and stumbled their way to a 3-2 finish in 2008 that made both schools cringe.

Auburn won - on the scoreboard.

But really there were no winners after a game that barely had more first downs than punts. It was obvious both teams had serious issues.

Two years later, much has changed. Both programs have new coaches: Gene Chizik replaced Tommy Tuberville at Auburn while Dan Mullen took over for Sylvester Croom at Mississippi State.
   
Now 21st-ranked Auburn (1-0) and Mississippi State (1-0) have revamped offenses going into Thursday’s Southeastern Conference opener for both schools at Scott Field.
