Twitter reacts to Auburn’s wild overtime loss to Mississippi State
Auburn fought hard but came up just short against the Mississippi State Bulldogs Saturday night, losing 39-33 in overtime.
Cadillac Williams and the rest of the Tigers may have impressed but they still suffered their fifth straight loss and are now 3-6 overall and 1-5 in the SEC.
When the Tigers fell behind 24-3 in the first half, it looked like they were in danger of being blown out but that was not the case. They came out of the halftime break with a vengeance and scored 22-straight points to take a 25-24 lead late in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately for the Tigers, they were unable to hold onto the lead as Mississippi State fought back to win.
With the rough start, the comeback, Williams making his coaching debut, and overtime, the Auburn faithful had plenty to react to during the game. Here are the top reactions to the wild game.

Look at #Auburn interim coach Cadillac Williams' speed calling this timeout. Like the old days. pic.twitter.com/aje9VkLyEN

I didn't agree with every decision Carnell made today but absolutely loved the way he coached this team
Positive vibes all night long
And I trust he'll have these dudes ready to go next week

To make that PI call was terrible in every way. Just brutal. Shouldn't have a job after that.

Ok, I'm just gonna say it. Cadillac is a more attractive man than Harsin.

Cadillac Williams gave Auburn fans something in one week that Bryan Harsin couldn’t produce all season — hope. His players fought tooth and nail for him till the final whistle. The Tigers may have came up short in the end, but the Auburn spirit that is not afraid was resurrected
