The Ole Miss Rebels struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game. Despite their efforts, they could only muster up 155 total yards against a stout Bulldogs defense. The passing game was particularly hindered as Ole Miss quarterbacks were sacked four times and threw two interceptions on top of completing just over half of their pass attempts for an average of six yards per completion.

The running game did not fare much better for the Rebels, with only 37 yards gained on 29 attempts which translates to an average gain per carry that barely exceeded one yard. Their lone scoring play came from a field goal that split the uprights from 32 yards out.

On special teams, there was little to note as well; no punts were blocked nor returned for touchdowns by either team. However, it's worth mentioning that four punts by Ole Miss landed inside the twenty-yard line out of six attempts with an average punt distance rounding up to forty-four yards.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs displayed dominance on both sides of the ball. They capitalized on turnovers and kept pressure on Rebel quarterbacks throughout all quarters. Their offense put together several sustained drives resulting in touchdowns and maintained control over possession time significantly longer than their counterparts.
