The Bulldogs started strong with an early touchdown, setting the tone for what would be a competitive matchup. Kamario Taylor showcased his dual-threat capabilities by rushing for 55 yards and scoring one of his two touchdowns on a dynamic 20-yard run.

The second quarter saw the Hogs rally back as they scored twice to take the lead into halftime. Despite this setback, Blake Shapen kept MSU in contention by connecting on key passes that set up scoring opportunities.


Third Quarter


In an action-packed third quarter, both teams exchanged blows with multiple touchdowns. Anthony Evans III was instrumental for MSU, hauling in five receptions for 111 yards and two touchdowns. His longest reception was a spectacular 45-yard catch that electrified fans and shifted momentum back to Mississippi State's favor.


Fourth Quarter


As time wound down in the fourth quarter, it was kicker Kyle Ferrie who sealed the deal for MSU with a crucial field goal from 46 yards out—his only attempt of the game—which proved decisive in securing victory. The Dawgs' defense also stepped up when it mattered most; Nic Mitchell led with ten combined tackles and contributed significantly alongside Nevaeh Sanders who recorded one sack.
