long after Ole Miss player A.J. Brown crossed the goal line with the ball. Players then started to shove each other, and eventually punches were exchanged and the benches cleared. Four players, one for Ole Miss and three for Mississippi State, were ejected, and every player on both teams were given unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The touchdown that Brown had appeared to score was then taken off the board due to the game clock expiring before the snap. Mississippi State went on to pick up a 35-3 win in Oxford. 2019 – The Piss, the Miss, and the Double Dismiss: With both teams needing a win to ensure bowl eligibility, Ole Miss trailed Mississippi State 21-14 with nine seconds left. Matt Corral completed a 2-yard pass to wide receiver Elijah Moore for an Ole Miss touchdown with four seconds left; Moore then drew a 15-yard excessive celebration penalty for pretending to be a dog urinating in the end zone for his touchdown celebration, forcing the team to kick the extra point from 35 yards away rather than 20. The extra point attempt failed, and Mississippi State won 21-20. Head coach Matt Luke and athletics director Keith Carter issued a joint public apology for Moore's behavior, describing his conduct as "disappointing and unacceptable"; Moore himself also publicly apologized. Ole Miss fired Luke the following Sunday, while Mississippi State would fire Joe Moorhead following a loss in the Music City Bowl, when it was revealed that quarterback Garrett Shrader did not play in the game after being injured in a fight during pre-bowl practice. 2022 - Leach's Last Win: Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart threw a late touchdown with 1:25 left, capping a 99 yard drive. However, the Bulldogs stopped the following two point conversion to seal a 24-22 victory. This game would end up being the final game coached by Mississippi State's Mike Leach before his unexpected death.
