Absolutes in the realm of historical significance are dangerous and often fickle, but it feels safe to say that few other classes have meant as much to Mississippi State football, and really, the athletic department as a whole, than the 14 seniors who will play their last game on Scott Field at Davis Wade Stadium on Saturday in the Egg Bowl.
They’re the winningest senior class since 1942, and even those seniors once played on the freshmen-only team when first arriving to campus. Members of this class were thrust into the throes of the SEC from day one, playing against the biggest, strongest, fastest and most highly-trained athletes college football has to offer.
