The state of Mississippi is looking closely at the college football rankings as of late, with Ole Miss and Mississippi leading the way in the SEC with big wins in back-to-back weeks. After Ole Miss pulled off the upset over Alabama last week, they dominated Texas A&M Saturday night. Meanwhile, Mississippi took care of Texas A&M last week, and shut down the second ranked Auburn Tigers on Saturday.
The Rebels' defense lead the way, in front of an SEC-record crowd of 110,633, forcing 3 turnovers, with 2 of those returned for touchdowns. The highlight defensive play came from Cody Prewitt who returned an interception 75 yards for the score. Bo Wallace lead Ole Miss to their first 6-0 start since 1962, running for 2 TD's, and throwing for another. Aggies' QB Kenny Hill threw 2 interceptions, and one fumble loss in A&M's second consecutive loss.
Mississippi State were lead by Heisman favorite QB Dak Prescott, who ran for 2 touchdowns, and threw for another in the 38-23 win over the Auburn Tigers. Prescott ran for 121 yards, and threw for 246 on 18/34 passing. Josh Robinson helped out on the ground, running for 97 yards and 2 touchdowns, while De'Runnya Wilson caught 4 passes for 72 yards and a TD. The Bulldogs have now won 9 straight games dating back to last season, and handed Auburn their first loss of the season.
Ole Miss and Mississippi State came in to the week tied for 3rd in the AP polls, but with Saturday's win for the Bulldogs, they replace Florida State at No. 1 in the AP Polls. The Seminoles fall to No. 2, despite their win over Syracuse. Meanwhile, Ole Miss remains at No. 3 with their victory.
