Mississippi State Bulldogs

Arkansas 58 – Mississippi State 42

Rawleigh Williams loves the state of Mississippi. If he played Ole Miss or Mississippi State every week, he’d be in the thick of the Heisman race. Mississippi State gave up an entire game of offensive statistics to Williams after eight carries.

Many will blame the loss of Dak Prescott for the woes of Mississippi State this season, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Nick Fitzgerald topped the 3,100 total yard mark Saturday. Only one other player has done that in Mississippi State football history: Dak Prescott.

Fitzgerald has not been the problem for Mississippi State. The joke of an SEC football defense, has.

Impact Moving Forward:

-None

Ole Miss losing had more of an impact on Mississippi State than this game. Now Dan Mullen has a chance to keep his streak of keeping the Bulldogs out of the cellar alive.

It’s sad, really.

The last two Egg Bowls have meant so much. Now the game will determine who finishes last in the SEC West.
