Ole Miss: Mississippi State wins 35-3 (Grade A)

The Bulldogs wrapped up their 2018 season with a blowout win over in state rival Ole Miss. It was another complete game by the Bulldogs, and the team showed why they were considered heavy favorites entering the game.

Nick Fitzgerald would exact revenge over the team who broke his ankle the previous year. While the offense played well, it was the Mississippi State football defense that really showed out.

The Bulldogs held Ole Miss to just 189 yards of offense and three points. The Rebels came into the came averaging over 500 yards of offense and over 35 points a game. The high powered Rebel offense was held completely in check.
