How did Mississippi State’s SEC opponents fare on Saturday?

For the most part, the SEC avoided the craziness of Saturday.
The only “upset” was Texas beating No. 6 Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry game, but that’s not a true upset since Texas was favored to win.
The craziness was mostly confined to the Big Ten who saw No. 3 Oregon get beat by No. 7 Indiana, USC blowout No. 15 Michigan and Penn State lost to Northwestern for its third-straight loss (and second-straight loss in a game the Nittany Lions were 20-point favorites or more).
The SEC wasn’t totally immune to the craziness (go look at what happened to Auburn against Georgia).
Here’s how the Bulldogs’ final six opponents of the season fared on Saturday:
Result: lost to No. 5 Texas A&M, 34-17
Notes: The Gators kept this one close, but not as much as Mississippi State did a week ago. The Bulldogs trailed 7-3 at halftime and 14-3 headed into the fourth quarter. The Gators scored twice in the first quarter, but Texas A&M led 21-14 at halftime. The biggest difference, though, was Florida’s offense was a lot more productive than Mississippi State’s was.
Result: def. No. 6 Oklahoma, 23-6
Notes: The Longhorns needed this win and, based on the two touchdown point spread, many people thought they would. It was a fairly dominant win over the Sooners, who did get Jon Mateer back but probably should’ve let him rest another week (he threw three interceptions). Mississippi State fans would’ve liked to have Texas play like it did against Florida and not like a good football team that won’t be bothered by a bunch of cowbells.
Result: lost to No. 12 Tennessee, 34-31
Notes: The Bobby Petrino 2.0 era nearly did what Mississippi State failed to do, beat the Volunteers. The Razorbacks showed their offense is still really good, racking up nearly 500 yards of total offense including 241 on the ground. But Tennessee’s offense moved down field just as easily and Arkansas needed a late comeback to get within three points of Tennessee.
Result: def. Auburn, 20-10
Notes: Kirby Smart called a timeout and nothing anyone ever says will ever convince me of that. If some shenanigans like that happen in Starkville, fans should not ring responsibly. I almost feel bad for Auburn because Jackson Arnold had a touchdown ignored and instead ruled a fumble. If the SEC doesn’t like being accused of favoritism, games like this one shouldn’t happen.
Result: lost to No. 8 Alabama, 27-24
Notes: Uh oh. Alabama may be really good again. The Crimson Tide just held the nation’s leading rusher, Ahmad Hardy to just 52 rushing yards and no touchdowns. The Tigers did manage to run for 163 yards, though, so the Bulldogs should still be concerned about that. Also, for Mississippi State, fans Kevin Coleman Jr. had just one catch for two yards in the loss to Alabama.
Result: def. Washington State, 24-21
Notes: Mississippi State has to feel a little better about canceling that home-and-home series with Washington State after the Cougars nearly upset the Rebels in Oxford. Ole Miss probably just got caught looking ahead to its next two games against Georgia and No. 6 Oklahoma. It’s not likely the Rebels will be looking past Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl, but the Cougars may have just given Mississippi State a blueprint for an upset.

4 people shot dead during homecoming weekend in small Mississippi town

LELAND, Miss. (AP) — Four people were killed in a shooting in a town in the Mississippi Delta region after a high school football homecoming game there, Mississippi state Sen. Derrick Simmons told The Associated Press.
The shootings happened in the downtown area of the small town of Leland, Mississippi, where people had gathered following the game, said Simmons, who represents people in that region.
Four other victims were taken to a hospital in Greenville and then flown to a larger hospital in the state capital city of Jackson, said Simmons, who is the senator for that region.
Simmons said he was confident the information is correct because he received updates from authorities with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, which is investigating, as well as from other law enforcement authorities.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
HEIDELBERG, Miss. (AP) — Police in a small Mississippi town are investigating a shooting during the school’s homecoming weekend that left two people dead.
Both were killed on the school campus Friday night, Heidelberg Police Chief Cornell White told The Associated Press. He declined to say whether the victims were students or provide other information about the crimes.
“Right now we’ve still got a subject at large, but I can’t give specifics,” White said Saturday morning.
An 18-year-old man is being sought for questioning in the shooting, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. The sheriff asked that anyone with information contact the police chief or sheriff’s office.
The shootings happened on the school campus where the Heidelberg Oilers were playing their homecoming football game on Friday night, but it wasn’t clear exactly when the gunfire occurred or how close it was to the stadium. White said he was at the scene Saturday investigating, and that more information might be released in coming days.
The town of about 640 residents is about 85 miles (137 kilometers) southeast of the state capital city of Jackson.
