Stunningly stupid act wrecks Ole Miss in Egg Bowl

Ole Miss WR Elijah Moore’s foolish celebration cost Ole Miss a chance to tie the Egg Bowl.

Ole Miss overcame a fourth-and-24 and numerous other hurdles to close within 21-20 in the waning seconds of the Egg Bowl Thursday. Elijah Moore caught the short TD pass to bring the Rebels within one of the arch-rival Bullodgs.

And then, Moore, a sophomore wide receiver, decided to play the fool in the end zone and wound up costing his team the game.

Moore started acting like a dog and lifted his leg, like he was urinating.

The official near the selfish celebration threw a flag and … that turned into a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Moore. More importantly, it moved the PAT attempt back 15 yards.

Ole Miss kicker Luke Logan missed the PAT and Mississippi State had a 21-20 victory And no one would blame the Ole Miss team and their faithful if they were, um, peeved. Extra peeved, too, because the victory makes the Bulldogs bowl eligible while the Rebels sink to 4-8.

Ole Miss star scores last-second TD, pretends to pee on the field, gets extremely costly penalty

Ole Miss lost the Egg Bowl in the wildest fashion after Elijah Moore pretended to pee on the field after scoring a last-second TD.

The Egg Bowl between rivals Ole Miss and Mississippi State featured a wild ending, and Bulldogs fans may never let Rebels fans forget how they lost in 2019.

With less than 10 seconds left in a seven-point ballgame, with Mississippi State leading 21-14, Ole Miss quarterback threw a two-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Elijah Moore. Moore’s questionable celebration choice, however, would end up dooming the Rebels.

After getting in the endzone to make the score 21-20, Moore dropped to all fours, lifted his back leg, and pretended to urinate on Mississippi State’s field.

Moore earned a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty for his celebration, which backed up the point-after attempt and made the kick much more difficult. Kicker Luke Logan missed wide right, handing Mississippi State the win in an unbelievable finish.

Naturally, everyone on Twitter made the same joke.

10 Things We Love About College Football – Week 12 Edition

Oklahoma seems to desperately need one of Oregon or Utah to lose before the Pac-12 Championship and then to win that conference title game if they’re going to have much of a chance at one of the four playoff spots.

No matter if your team won or lost on Saturday, it was another fall afternoon that further-proved why college football is undefeated as a whole.  It has flaws like anything else but the most exciting regular season in all of sports lived up to the hype yet again with crazy performances, incredible comebacks and all-time showings of sportsmanship alike.

Come with us at Fighting Irish Wire as we take you through the ten things we loved about college football this weekend.

10.  Monon Bell Classic was a…classic

LSU-Ole Miss odds: No. 1 Tigers overwhelming road favorites

Previewing Saturday’s LSU at Ole Miss college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

Fresh off a win over Alabama, the No. 1-ranked LSU Tigers (9-0, 5-0 SEC) will take on the Ole Miss Rebels (4-6, 2-4) in Oxford, Miss., on Saturday night. Kickoff from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium will be at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the LSU-Ole Miss odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

LSU at Ole Miss: Three things you need to know

1. The Tigers have beaten four teams ranked in the top 10 at the time in Texas, Florida, Auburn and Alabama. Still undefeated, they have the best resume in college football and are fourth in the country in scoring at 46.7 points per game.

2. LSU will, however, be without LT Saahdiq Charles (coach’s decision) on Saturday — the fifth time this season he will sit for that reason. RT Austin Deculus is a game-time decision with an undisclosed injury. He sounds unlikely to play.

3. Ole Miss RB Scottie Phillips is questionable to play due to an ankle injury. He’s the Rebels’ second-leading rusher this season, racking up 542 yards and 5 TDs.

Prediction

LSU 35, Ole Miss 17

Moneyline (ML)

There’s very little doubt that the Tigers are going to win this one outright. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should touch the moneyline (-1250), though. A $10 bet on the LSU moneyline will only net you $0.80 — not worth the risk, in my mind.

Stay away from the moneyline in this one because of the lopsided nature of the matchup. Yes, LSU should win — and most likely will — but there’s such little upside that it’s not worth the risk.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Tigers enter this game as 20.5-point favorites on the road. They looked dominant in the first half against Alabama and held on for the win, and that emotional victory could have some lingering effects on this one.

They’re 4-1 ATS against Ole Miss in their last five meetings, but the Rebels are 5-1 ATS in their last six games this season, so they’ve done a good job of covering despite their 4-6 overall record. Take the points with OLE MISS (+20.5, +105).

Over/Under (O/U)

It’s hard to see the Rebels scoring enough to push this game over 64.5 points, and LSU could be without both of their offensive tackles. The total has gone under in four of Ole Miss’ last five games, including each of the last three. The under is 2-1 in the Tigers’ last three games, too.

Bet the UNDER (-110). That total of 64.5 is too high.
