Are Mullen, Mississippi State in position to capitalize on the tough times at Ole Miss?

Fans of teams who have particularly nasty rivalries love to crow about “owning” their archrival. Truthfully, though, that kind of total domination is rare.

Wisconsin has beaten Minnesota 13 consecutive times; Virginia Tech, likewise, has a 13-game winning streak over Virginia. Alabama has owned Tennessee of late, winning 10 in a row.

But in Mississippi, bitter rivals Ole Miss and Mississippi State have been about as even as teams could be since the SEC split into divisions in the 1992 season. Mississippi State owns a 13-12 advantage in that time frame. Ole Miss’ longest winning streak was three games (2002-04); it’s the same for Mississippi State (2009-11).
