Kamario Taylor led Mississippi State's offense, contributing significantly with his rushing ability.

However, despite these efforts and strong defensive plays by Nic Mitchell and Jahron Manning who combined for several tackles, Mississippi State couldn't close the gap as Ole Miss maintained control.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw limited scoring from both sides as defenses tightened up. The Dawgs managed another field goal thanks to Ferrie's accuracy from long range. Meanwhile, Ethan Pulliam's punting helped keep Ole Miss at bay temporarily by pinning them deep in their territory multiple times.
