The Golden Egg is coming back to Oxford.
In his initiation into one of the fiercest rivalries in college football, Lane Kiffin earned his first Egg Bowl win in Ole Miss’s 31-24 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
The win was the first for the Rebels (4-4) since 2017 and the first Egg Bowl win in Oxford since 2014. Once the clock hit triple zeros, Matt Corral took the trophy to the sideline and raised it up to the Ole Miss faithful. It was a celebration that continued inside the locker room as players were able to finally put the end of last year’s Egg Bowl behind them.
