Deputy Editor, Storytelling
I'm Alex and I joined SB Nation in 2019 as deputy editor of our storytelling team.

I got my start in magazine and news journalism before venturing into sports reporting in 2014 as an SEC culture writer for AL.com. My goal was to tell meaningful stories about sports fans for sports fans, ranging from the history of game-day traditions to feuding college town cops and even how the loss of my father would forever be tied to sports.

A long-suffering Ole Miss sports fan, I studied journalism and history at the University of Mississippi. The South is home.

Mississippi State 21-20 Ole Miss (Nov 28, 2019) Game Recap - ESPN

Expert recap and game analysis of the Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Ole Miss Rebels NCAAF game from November 28, 2019 on ESPN.

www.espn.com

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Luke Morgan missed a 35-yard extra point after Mississippi receiver Elijah Moore was penalized for celebrating a touchdown by crawling and pretending to urinate like a dog, and Mississippi State ended up with a 21-20 victory Thursday night in the 116th Egg Bowl.

Ole Miss (4-8, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) pulled within a point with 4 seconds remaining on Matt Corral's 2-yard pass to Moore, but Logan hooked the extra point after Moore cost the Rebels 15 yards.

Mississippi State (6-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) beat Ole Miss at home for the first since 2013.

The teams combined for seven sacks and 17 tackles for loss, and Mississippi State won the turnover battle 3-1.

The Bulldogs scored two first-half touchdowns, the first on Nick Gibson's 27-yard run and the second on the next possession on quarterback Garrett Shrader's 1-yard run. Ole Miss responded with two touchdowns of its own, with J.R. Plumlee scoring on a 2-yard run and Jerrion Ealy on a 5-yarder to tie it at 14 at the half.

Midway through the third quarter, the Bulldogs sacked Plumlee three times on the same drive, the third forcing a fumble. Seven plays later, Shrader scored on a 5-yard run to put Mississippi State up 21-14.

On the final drive of the game, Mississippi State committed three of its five total penalties and Ole Miss ran nine plays inside the 15 before eventually connecting for the touchdown.

THE TAKEAWAY

Ole Miss: The Rebels are young and continue to show signs of life under coach Matt Luke, but inconsistent play and the lack of a clear offensive strategy are the biggest reasons they'll be sitting at home this bowl season.

Mississippi State: After a long season that fell well short of expectations, an emotional home win over a hated rival might just be enough to keep second-year head coach Joe Moorhead from losing his job. But maybe not.

Same player.

 

[planomateo]

LOL, "Not who we are"

 

[TerryP]

How in God's green earth is this a "hard lesson to learn?"

(And a minor complaint ... so many calling this a celebration penalty. Is it just me, or is that a horrible way to describe unsportsmanlike conduct? In Texas terms, "Horns up" celebration, "Horns down" unsportsmanlike conduct. A misnomer in my view.)

Clemson will play the winner of VaTech or Virginia in the ACC Championship Game. So the game at 11am today will determine who plays Clemson.

Who do you want it to be? I'd like to see a Bud Foster led defense take them down.

SIAP elsewhere. In the past 11 seasons the barn is either 2-0 or 0-2 against UGA and Bama. Let's make it 12!!!

Bryce Perkins looking like Jalen Hurts. Has 137 yards on 5 carries and 2 TDs. In the first quarter!

Clemson played neither Virginia team this year, but this Wahoo D, while not spectacular, shows up when it counts, as seen in the last five minutes. I hope they can take Clemson down next week.

This is crazy and will NEVER happen again.
