Entering the 2017 Egg Bowl, the Mississippi St. Bulldogs needed to have everything go wrong for them to lose the Golden Egg to the Ole Miss Rebels. And that is exactly what happened.
Nick Fitzgerald would exit the game on the second drive of the game for Mississippi State. At the end of the game when I wrote this, it was at best a dislocation of his ankle and at worst, something more severe. The Bulldogs turned the football over five times. They also committed 9 penalties for 88 yards. And the Bulldogs still almost pulled it out.
