When it comes to a battle for football and bragging rights in the state of Mississippi, there is nothing quite like Ole Miss and Mississippi State competing in in the annual Egg Bowl. On Saturday, the Bulldogs left an egg in Starkville as the Rebels defeated Mississippi State 31–21 in the 94th edition of the rivalry game.
In keeping the "Golden Egg," Ole Miss (10–2) claimed its first ten win season in program history and a New Year's Six bowl berth. Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin also became the first Ole Miss coach to win his first two Egg Bowls since Billy Brewer in 1983 and 1984.
