Egg Bowl game time set

The first-ever on-field Mississippi showdown between Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin now has a start time.

Leach's Mississippi State Bulldogs and Kiffin's Ole Miss Rebels are set to kick off at 3 p.m. CT in Oxford on November 28 as MSU and Ole Miss renew their rivalry in the Battle for the Golden Egg. The game is set to be televised by SEC Network.

Mississippi State has won each of the last two games in the series, most recently claiming a 21-20 victory last season in Starkville. Much has changed since then however.

In the aftermath of last year's game, Ole Miss parted ways with Matt Luke and turned to Kiffin. MSU also relieved Joe Moorhead of his duties and turned to Leach. Now in the midst of their first seasons with their new teams, Kiffin and Leach have teams that are somewhat polar opposites.

The Rebels are an offensive machine that struggles mightily on the defensive side. Meanwhile the Bulldogs – despite the traditional success of Leach's Air Raid scheme – haven't been able to get much of anything going offensively while the defense has shined.

In just under a couple of weeks, the two coaches and teams will finally get a chance to square up and see where the two programs stand against each other.

Here are all SEC start times for November 28:

Arkansas at Missouri - 11 a.m. CT on SEC Network

Kentucky at Florida - 11 a.m. CT on ESPN

Auburn at Alabama - 2:30 p.m. on CBS
