The Bulldogs (2-10, 0-8) came out inspired in search of their first SEC win, taking a 14-10 lead through the first quarter, but the Rebels (9-3, 5-3) didn’t allow a point the rest of the way to win the Battle for the Golden Egg for the second straight year and fourth time in five seasons under head coach Lane Kiffin.

Ole Miss forced three MSU turnovers, including interceptions on the first drive of each half and limited the Bulldogs to 1.3 yards per rush in the victory.
