When you get in the red zone you’ve got to score. We didn’t do that, so that’s going to be the outcome when you don’t score and get the opportunities.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1243314.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1243314.html Sun, 25 Nov 2012 04:48:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The Game: Mississippi State (8-3, 4-3 SEC) wraps up this regular season with the annual Battle for the Golden Egg, this year hosted by Ole Miss (5-6, 2-5).
