No one has to tell Ole Miss head football coach Matt Luke what it means to win the Battle for the Golden Egg.
Luke's been a Rebel since birth, growing up in Gulfport, and he was an offensive lineman for Old Miss from 1995-1998.
"It's huge for the people of Mississippi. It always has been. It's a game that means so much (for) so many people," Luke said. "It's 365-day bragging rights. It's always been important in my family ever since I can remember. This is not my second egg bowl, it's my 42nd."
Even though he is in his first year at Mississippi State, head coach Joe Moorhead also understands what it means to win or lose a rivalry game.
