Ten years later, we had a second 19-14 Egg Bowl.  In this one, freshman QB John Bond capped a nine win season with an impressive performance against the Rebels.  In a game where the score was much closer than the actual game, Bond was unstoppable with 163 rushing yards to lead the way.  This win was made even sweeter by the fact that the Bulldogs had already registered wins over then-#1 ranked Alabama, Auburn and LSU. This Egg Bowl win gave them their ninth win of the year for only the second time since 1941.
