October 4, 2014 was a magical day for the state of Mississippi and college football. Mississippi State opened the day with a thumping of the number 6 Aggies of Texas A&M. Then Ole Miss would up the ante with a win over Alabama. The following day would see the top two schools tied for third in the AP poll. It was an incredible day of football. Fast forward 52 weeks.
The story was the exact opposite.
Ole Miss entered the night needing to take care of business against the Gators to show they were arguably the best football team in the country.
