The Egg Bowl is about rivalry and two of the SEC's top QBs

When Ole Miss and Mississippi State square off in Saturday's Egg Bowl, a national championship won't be on the line. There's little chance a SEC title will be, either.

Saturday in Starkville will mostly be a backyard brawl between two programs that don't like each other much. It will be a good old-fashioned rivalry game that will separate families in an entire state.

There's little respect that divides these teams, but when it comes to the focal points of both teams' success, each side has no choice but to tip its hat to the opposing quarterback.

Mississippi State's Dak Prescott is yet again on a phenomenal run, while Ole Miss' Chad Kelly has exceeded expectations in his first year in the SEC.
