The Egg Bowl is always an awesome rivalry, but this year’s version has the added element of playing on Thanksgiving.

Ole Miss has had mixed results this season under interim head coach Matt Luke. The Rebels are 5-6 and have dealt with a season-ending injury to starting QB Shea Patterson since the LSU game. Jordan Ta’amu has performed well in Patterson’s absence while star WR A.J. Brown has been impressive all season long.

Nevertheless, it has been a bit of a rough year for Rebels fans, but a Thanksgiving Day win over the in-state rival Bulldogs would provide a bit of a happy ending. Ole Miss has won three of the last five meetings in the series but lost in a 55-20 blowout last season.

Keeping Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald bottled up will be a tough task for the Rebels, but it sure looks like they are ready for the challenge in this hype video.

Ole Miss Football shared the awesome video ahead of the game, and Rebels fans will want to finish Thanksgiving dinner early in order to get ready for the game.

Here’s the video:

Kickoff for this year’s Egg Bowl is set for 7:30 pm EST on ESPN on Thanksgiving Day.
