Live Updates: Mississippi State Faces Ole Miss

Mississippi State (7-4) looks to cap off the regular season on a high note as Ole Miss (9-2) heads to Davis Wade Stadium for the Egg Bowl.

MSU is coming off of a dominant 55-10 win over Tennessee State, which came just one week after the Bulldogs recorded their biggest comeback win in school history (for the second time this year), scoring 40 unanswered points in a 43-34 road win over Auburn.

The Rebels come to Starkville fresh off a victory as well, playing Vanderbilt a bit more closely than expected, winning 31-17 in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

You can find the latest updates on the score, big plays and stats right here throughout gameday. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CT in Starkville.

It's a touchback. Ole Miss to start at its own 25.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

That's a "no sir" from Martin Emerson Jr. Matt Corral's first pass falls incomplete.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

Ole Miss going for it on 4th&1 and the Rebels get stuffed. Turnover on downs and Mississippi State gets the ball deep in Ole Miss territory.

Nolan McCord's 34-yard field goal attempt is good.

Mississippi State leads Ole Miss, 3-0 with 11:46 left in the first quarter.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

McCord has looked improved since the Arkansas game... has made 3-of-4 field goal attempts and all 11 of his extra-point attempts since that loss. https://t.co/iuV64rh4S3
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

Matt Corral tried to keep it himself there on 3rd & 8... no gain thanks to Randy Charlton.

Cale Nation's 25-yard field goal attempt is good and it's tied at 3-3 with 7:07 left in the first quarter.

Nation in place of Ole Miss' usual starting kicker, Caden Costa today.

Rogers overthrows a wide-open Makai Polk and it's 2nd & 7 with the Bulldogs in a good position to score their first touchdown of the day.

On 3rd & 15 after being sacked, Rogers finds Marks for 4 yards and the Bulldogs are well-short of the first down.

— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

The Rebels convert on 3rd & 1 with the rush from Ealy and that'll do it for the first quarter here in Starkville.

He gets five yards that time, bringing up 3rd & 10 for Ole Miss.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

Johnathan Mingo drops a big third-down pass and Ole Miss is forced to punt it away.

Both teams still looking to get their first touchdown of the night nearly two minutes into the second quarter.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

Makai Polk was down on the field, now walking off on his own power with trainers.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

Potentially a big gain there for Mississippi State, but Rogers throws it too low for Heath and it's 2nd & 10 from the 21.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

The Ole Miss defense was all over that short pass from Rogers to Johnson.

Targeting called on Ole Miss defender Mark Robinson. After review, it's confirmed.

— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

Ole Miss puts another touchdown on the board on a drive in which Mississippi State badly needed a stop to have a chance.

Mississippi State onside kicks it and it's recovered by Ole Miss with 2:26 left to play.

The Rebels have the ball at their own 49.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

It's 4th & 2 for Ole Miss after that 1-yard rush by Ealy. Rebels offense will stay on the field and go for it after running the clock down to 1:22.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

Ole Miss comes up short on 4th & 2.

So, in the next one minute and 19 seconds, Mississippi State needs something of the sorts of a touchdown, an onside kick recovery and another score.
— Crissy Froyd (@crissy_froyd) November 26, 2021

And... Ole Miss calls timeout. The pettiness is real. https://t.co/tmNHqHIwGp
