The Mississippi State football team is on the road to face the Ole Miss Rebels this evening. The Bulldogs and Rebels are meeting for the 115th time on the gridiron and are playing in the 91st Battle for the Golden Egg.
Both teams, more or less, are coming into this game after failing to live up to higher expectations. Mississippi State arrives in Oxford after not being able to live up to preseason hype and an incredibly high ceiling. This was a season in which the Bulldogs were supposed to compete for the SEC West, and they didn’t.
