Mississippi State exploited the edge against Ole Miss's ends as I suggested they would here: http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/jfp.php/comments/an_appetizing_egg_bowl_112509.
Even though Ole Miss was able to allow their defensive ends to get upfield and cause havoc the week before (against LSU), the Rebels front was not able to slow down the option game. When State went to the air, they used "flood" concepts to beat the Rebel's aggressive defensive backfield.
Defensively, the Bulldogs also came up with three interceptions against Jevan Snead. Ole Miss will return next year with a bare cupboard, and State returns a lot of young talent. A swing in power within Mississippi?
