In the 115th rendition of the Egg Bowl, Mississippi State walked away victorious with a 35-3 win over Ole Miss.
The No. 18 Bulldogs took control of Thursday’s game early on when they forced Rebels quarterback Jordan Ta'amu to fumble the ball at his own 30.
Mississippi State punched in the game’s first score about three minutes after that turnover and then proceeded to keep up the pressure.
Bulldogs quarterback Nick Fitzgerald executed an eight-play, 88-yard drive on Mississippi State’s next time out to push the lead to 14-0.
Then, right before halftime, Fitzgerald lobbed a ball into the end zone on a third-and-10 and was able to get a pass interference against Ole Miss to earn a new set of downs.
