Former Rebel Tim Jumper passes away

“The Ole Miss family has lost a dear friend and great representative with the passing of Tim Jumper.”

The 33-point triumph over No. 18 Pitt was the largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in program history.

Mississippi State improves to 9-1 on the season and 37-7 in non-conference action under coach Sam Purcell.

The Tigers never trailed in the contest.

The Bulldogs move to 8-1 on the season.

The Ole Miss Athletics ticket office has sold out of reserved seats for the matchup.

It was a defensive battle on a cold evening as Ole Miss outgained its in-state rival 397-330.

With the win, Mississippi State tied a Purcell-best 8-0 start to the season.

This significant contribution from the family who wishes to remain anonymous will support the department’s State Excellence Fund.

Mississippi State moves to 5-1 in Thanksgiving week tournaments under Purcell and are winners of four-straight such games.
