Notes and thoughts from a 38-27 win over Mississippi State. …
The Egg Bowl that seemed destined to be a high-scoring nail biter was high-scoring for only one team and really wasn’t as close as the final score indicated.
Ultimately you are what your numbers say you are, and the numbers say Ole Miss outgained MSU 479-402.
As the game got out of hand so quickly you could see how the end would unfold with MSU forcing the issue in tempo offense, and Ole Miss letting the Bulldogs have just as much of the field as they wanted – including the end zone – as long as they didn’t score quickly and with big plays.
