One of college football’s most-heated rivalries met one of the game’s biggest dramas this season on Friday in Starkville, Mississippi.
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin led the No. 6 Rebels (11–1) to a 38–19 victory over the Mississippi State University (MSU) Bulldogs (5–7) in the Egg Bowl rivalry game, and the Rebels won 11 games in a season for the first time ever. Meanwhile, Kiffin’s future remains in doubt, as he has been tied to higher-profile job openings such as Florida—at least before Friday—and Louisiana State University, and his decision on leaving or staying could mean he can’t coach in the College Football Playoff, which Ole Miss is well-poised to make.
