Elijah Moore's penalty for urinating-dog celebration costs Ole Miss vs. Mississippi State in Egg Bowl

Mississippi Clarion Ledger

STARKVILLE, Miss. — They will talk about this one for decades.

With four seconds left in the 2019 Egg Bowl, Ole Miss had a chance to tie the score. But receiver Elijah Moore celebrated the team out of position.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Matt Corral threw a touchdown to Moore from the 2-yard line, making the score 21-20 in the final seconds. After catching the touchdown, Moore celebrated by mimicking the move of a dog urinating on a fire hydrant.

The penalty triggered a 15-yard penalty on the extra point, which kicker Luke Logan missed from 36 yards.
