Ole Miss, WR Elijah Moore apologize for urinating dog celebration

Ole Miss and receiver Elijah Moore apologized Friday for the dog urinating celebration in the final moments of the Egg Bowl that contributed to the Rebels' loss to Mississippi State.

"I apologize to my teammates, coaches and Rebel Nation for my actions at the end of the game," Moore said in a statement. "It was an emotional moment, and I deeply regret it. It does not represent who I am or who we are as a team, and I will grow stronger from this mistake."

Moore scored a touchdown in Thursday's game with four seconds left to bring the Rebels within one point of tying the game and sending it to overtime.
