It's rivalry week, and Mississippi State takes the field on Black Friday in the Egg Bowl against Ole Miss with bragging rights and bowl-eligibility on the line. And how the Bulldogs handle the QB position will be a key storyline for the game.
There's no questioning who will start at QB for the Bulldogs. Jeff Lebby has rolled with Blake Shapen throughout an up-and-down season for the sixth-year passer, and that won't change on Friday despite calls from the fanbase for true freshman Kamario Taylor to take over. But while Shapen may see the start, Taylor needs to play a major role in the Bulldog offense in the Egg Bowl.
