You might have noticed that I haven’t made much fun of Mississippi State’s football program this year. With Southern Miss getting off to a 2-6 start, I didn’t think I had much room to talk. However, yesterday’s Egg Bowl match-up (how terrible is that name, by the way?) requires attention:

  • The 25th-ranked Rebels beat Mississippi State 45-0.
  • Mississippi State had 37 total yards.
  • The Ole Miss defense hit Mississippi State’s quarterbacks on nine of their first 10 pass attempts, intercepted two of their first five passes.
  • Mississippi State lost 97 yards on sacks alone.
  • Ole Miss held the Bulldogs to minus-51 yards rushing.
  • Ole Miss held tailback Anthony Dixon to 14 yards a week after he rushed for a career-high 179 yards against Arkansas.
  • The margin of victory was the largest in the series since Ole Miss beat Mississippi State 48-0 in 1971.
