On Sunday, Ole Miss released statements from head coach Matt Luke, wide receiver D.K. Metcalf and defensive end Breeland Speaks responding to unsportsmanlike incidents that happened during Thursday’s 90th Egg Bowl.
While the conclusion to Thursday’s Egg Bowl matchup was met with bliss, emotions ran high throughout the game. Beginning with two pre-game kerfuffles, tensions eventually boiled over as Metcalf and Speaks’ actions took center stage for the Rebels.
Metcalf, who scored on a 63-yard reception, raised his right leg and gestured similarly to a canine urinating, while Speaks was ejected in the fourth quarter for unsportsmanlike conduct and, in exit, taunted the remaining Bulldog fans.
