Unsportsmanlike conduct penalty puts Egg Bowl out of reach for Ole Miss

Ole Miss fell 21-20 in the 2019 Egg Bowl thanks to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a missed extra point in the final seconds.

The Rebels were led by Matt Corral on its final drive of the game, a drive which included a conversion on 4th and 24 and a passing touchdown with less than 10 seconds left to cut the score to 21-20. Elijah Moore, who caught the touchdown pass from Corral, was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after lifting his leg mimicking a unrinating dog in homage to D.K. Metcalf’s touchdown celebration during the 2017 Egg Bowl in Starkville.
