The first year of the Joe Moorhead era of Mississippi State football was supposed to be better than this, but ending the season with an Egg Bowl victory would make things seem a bit brighter.
However, a loss to Ole Miss would certainly cause the head coach of the Bulldogs to lose favor with the vast majority Mississippi State football fans.
First, let’s focus on the positives. Should MSU win, it would have an 8-4 record. That’s respectable for the Bulldogs. Sure, MSU had everything they needed to have won a few more games this season, but it’s not like 8-4 is a bad season by any means.
