STARKVILLE – It all started with senior linebacker and captain CJ Johnson.
The Ole Miss football team arrived at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville around 4:15 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Johnson was the first player off the bus and carried the Golden Egg trophy over his head into the stadium.
When the clock hit zero and the scoreboard read Ole Miss 38 and Mississippi State 27, Johnson was once again the first player to carry the trophy.
