The Egg Bowl is one of college football’s most contentious rivalry games in years that don’t feature College Football Playoff ramifications and the specter of the sport’s biggest coaching decision. With less than four minutes left in the half, Mississippi and Mississippi State players started scrapping after what appeared to be a fumble by Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.
On second-and-8 from the Bulldogs’ 39-yard line, MSU linebacker Malick Sylla laid a hit on the Ole Miss quarterback, forcing what looked like a potential fumble. Bulldogs linebacker Nic Mitchell and Rebels wide receiver Cayden Lee were among those who quickly dove for the ball, and as players on both sides began to scrap for the loose ball, a shoving match broke out. Soon, players and coaches were running onto the field, and it looked like a full-on brawl might begin.
