4. 2016: – MSU 55, Ole Miss 20 (Oxford)

This game has staying power. MSU was a 10 point underdog and beat the Rebs by five touchdowns. After all the off-season talking about the NCAA investigation and the talk about Ole Miss leaving State behind, it didn’t happen. In fact, it was a no-doubter by MSU featuring Nick Fitzgerald setting the school rushing record and Ole Miss giving up more total yards than they have in program history (566). I’ve been waiting 50 years for a beatdown like that.
