COLLEGE FOOTBALLl | Thursday’s games


Mississippi State 17, Mississippi 10

STARKVILLE, MISS.

Dak Prescott rushed for a 3-yard touchdown in overtime to lead Mississippi State past Mississippi in the Egg Bowl. Prescott didn’t enter the game until the fourth quarter because of an injury to his non-throwing shoulder that caused him to miss the past two games. But the sophomore led the Bulldogs (6-6, 3-5 Southeastern Conference) to their tying drive in the fourth quarter and the game-winner in overtime. Ole Miss’ overtime drive ended when Bo Wallace fumbled and Mississippi State’s Jamerson Love recovered in the end zone. Mississippi State freshman Damian Williams, the third-string quarterback, made his first career start because of injuries to Prescott and Tyler Russell. The Bulldogs are now bowl eligible for a fourth straight season, the longest streak in school history.
