What Zach Arnett said following Mississippi State's loss against Auburn

The offense once again was abysmal for Mississippi State on Saturday, as the Bulldogs lost to Auburn, 27-13.

The Bulldogs rushed for 186 yards as a team, but didn’t get into the endzone until the final quarter when the game was out of reach. After a 2-0 start, Mississippi State has lost 4 of its last 6 games.

Coach Zach Arnett talked about the first half defensive struggles as well as well as the team lacking intensity to start the game.

Zach Arnett on defense: "We didn't stop anything that first half. We didn't stop the run or pass. You aren't going to win a football game playing a half of complimentary football."

Zach Arnett:

"I think we lacked a little intensity coming out…I didn't see a team who was flying around with their hair on fire, which is more disappointing than anything."
