Ole Miss notched its first 10-win season since 2015 after beating Mississippi State 31-21 in the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving Day at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi.
Mississippi State totaled more yards (420) than is opponent (388), which was largely a result of having to play from behind for most of the night. Ole Miss went 11-of-18 on third down and used its running game (154 yards) to great effect.
With a 10-2 record, the ninth-ranked Rebels likely sealed a New Year's Six bowl berth by getting the better of their in-state rivals for the second year in a row.
