For the third-straight year, Mississippi State will be staying home during bowl season. The Bulldogs lost the Egg Bowl to No. 7 Ole Miss 38-19 in Starkville Friday. A largely competitive game through three quarters, the Rebels pulled away with a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to secure a lopsided victory. Mississippi State ends the season 5-7 and 1-7 in SEC play.

Much of the narrative entering the game was how State's defense was going to handle Kewan Lacy and the Rebel run game. That wasn't actually the problem in this game.
