Following Mississippi State’s 24–22 upset victory over No. 20 Ole Miss in Thursday night’s Egg Bowl, Bulldogs quarterback Will Rogers gave Lane Kiffin’s son his towel in an olive branch moment for a tense rivalry.
Kiffin’s son sent Rogers a direct message on social media asking for the towel, and Rogers made good on his promise to Kiffin’s son, finding him after the game and delivering the gift.
Rogers finished 27-of-39 for 239 yards and two touchdowns and one interception in the win that moved Mississippi State to 8–4 on the season and dropped Ole Miss to 8–4 and potentially out of the Top 25.
