A tumultuous season wrote one more painful chapter on Saturday afternoon as Ole Miss watched Mississippi State run wild, racking up 457 yards on the ground as well as running back to Starkville with the Egg Bowl Trophy after its 55-20 trouncing of the Rebels.
“I felt like it would be a scoring fest and we didn’t keep up with the scoring,” Hugh Freeze said. “We had a chance to keep the game close and stay in it, keep the energy high and motivation high and we failed at it.”
Time and time again, Mississippi State ran it right at Ole Miss and the Rebels did not have an answer.
