OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi running back Jerrion Ealy took a handoff on third and 12 and dashed down the right field sideline, dancing around multiple Louisiana State defenders on his way into the end zone.
After crossing the goal line for a score that gave the Rebels a 24-point lead over L.S.U., Ealy passionately wound his right arm in a celebratory windmill as teammates ran over to him.
On the other side of the end zone, some members of the L.S.U. defense stood with their hands on their hips, momentarily motionless, looking toward the spot where Ealy had blown past them for the touchdown.
