Quinshon Judkins rushed for 119 yards and scored a touchdown Thursday night at Davis Wade Stadium to help secure the Egg Bowl title. Jaxson Dart struggled in the first half before connecting with Caden Prieskorn for a 26-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
The Rebels secured their second 10-win regular season in program history but still do not control their destiny to make a New Year's Six Bowl. Missouri currently is ranked ahead of Ole Miss in both the AP Poll and College Football Playoff rankings.
The Tigers finished 10-2 following their win over Arkansas on Friday. Alabama, which defeated Auburn on a last-second touchdown pass from Jalen Milroe, would likely be the de facto SEC representative in the New Year's Six Bowl should it fall short against Georgia on Saturday.
