Egg Bowl has different meaning for some in 2020

What a difference a year makes.

This time in 2019, Ole Miss was coached by Matt Luke and Mississippi State coached by Joe Moorhead. A full calendar year later, both programs look completely different, and it is all from the butterfly effect that was the final moments of last season’s Egg Bowl.

Elijah Moore’s touchdown celebration seen around the world seemingly set off a chain reaction that turned Mississippi’s college football landscape on its head, if one is a believer in such things.

Lane Kiffin became the head coach of the Rebels, replacing Matt Luke, while Mike Leach took the reigns in Starkville.
