OXFORD, Miss. B.J. Upton Jersey . -- The unlikely duo of Jaylen Walton and Jordan Wilkins led Mississippi to a resounding Egg Bowl upset. Walton had a 91-yard touchdown run and Wilkins, a running back, threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to lead No. 18 Ole Miss over No. 4 Mississippi State 31-17 on Saturday. Bo Wallace threw for 296 yards despite completing just 13 of 30 passes. Ole Miss (9-3, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) led 7-3 at halftime before its offence got going in the second half. Its the 10th time in 11 seasons the home team has won the Egg Bowl. Wilkins touchdown pass to Cody Core -- with 9:14 remaining in the game -- came on the second throw of his career after a pitch from Wallace, pushing the Rebels ahead by two touchdowns. The loss by Mississippi State (10-2, 6-2, No. 4 CFP) means Alabama clinched the SEC Western Division. Dak Prescott threw for 282 yards and a touchdown. Its the first time both teams came into the Egg Bowl ranked since 1999. The loss is a severe blow to Mississippi States hope of advancing to the inaugural College Football Playoff. DeRunnya Wilson caught eight passes for 117 yards and Fred Ross added six catches for 103 yards, but the Bulldogs were undone by an aggressive Ole Miss offence that wasnt afraid to take chances. Walton finished with a career-high 148 yards rushing on just 14 carries. Ole Miss tight end Evan Engram caught five passes for 176 yards Ole Miss had lost three straight conference games -- including last weeks 30-0 setback at Arkansas -- before breaking through with a convincing win in the bitter instate rivalry. People thought we wouldnt be up for this game, but its the Egg Bowl, Walton said. How can you not get up for the Egg Bowl? Mississippi State struggled in the first half with just 128 total yards. Prescott never appeared comfortable in the pocket, facing consistent pressure from the Ole Miss defence. The Rebels came into the game giving up just 13.5 points per game, which ranked No. 1 in the country. Ole Miss lived up to the stats, using a swarming defence to contain Mississippi States running game. But the Rebels offence took a while to get going. Wallace was playing on a sore right ankle that he sprained during last weeks loss to Arkansas. The ankle was heavily taped on Saturday and the injury appeared to slow the velocity on his throws. One promising drive early in the game ended when an errant pass was intercepted in the end zone by Taveze Calhoun. But the Rebels broke through later in the first quarter on Wallaces 1-yard touchdown run, which was set up by a 46-yard pass from Wallace to Engram on the previous play. Mississippi States Evan Sobiesk made a career-best 45-yard field goal early in the second quarter, which pulled the Bulldogs within 7-3. The third quarter didnt look anything like the first half, with the teams trading long pass completions to set up quick scoring opportunities. Wallace completed an 83-yard pass to Engram -- which was the longest for the program since 2008 -- to set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Jeremy Liggins that gave the Rebels a 14-10 lead. But it was Waltons 91-yard run that really gave the Rebels momentum. The play was designed for the 5-foot-8, 166-pounder to run right, but after a few steps he changed directions, shooting through the left side of the line before breaking a few arm tackles and then streaking down the left sideline for the score. I made one hard cut to see what I could get, Walton said. I remember one guy missed me and then there was nothing there. Yonder Alonso Jersey . Jeff Green and Jordan Crawford each scored 19 points, Bass added 15 points and had a game-saving block in the closing seconds Saturday, and the Celtics held on for a 103-100 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Josh Tomlin Jersey . -- Brendan Leipsic had two goals and an assist and Nicolas Petan extended his point streak to 11 games as the Portland Winterhawks slipped past the Red Deer Rebels 5-4 on Saturday in Western Hockey League action. http://www.indiansteamproshop.com/Indians-Omar-Vizquel-Kids-Jersey/ . Beckham finished 2 for 4, adding a double in the first inning. Chicago has won eight of 12 to get back to .500 (27-27). The White Sox are 6-3 against Cleveland this season after losing 17 of 19 to their American League Central rival in 2013. Mike Aviles went 1 for 2 with a walk and drove in Clevelands run.LONDON - However many blips and bumps Arsenal endures through the season one outcome is a constant: finishing in the Premier Leagues top four.Arsenal has spent 17 consecutive seasons among the elite, ensuring itself of a place in the Champions League year after year. Fans might be frustrated by the shortage of silverware, but its a level of predictable consistency Liverpool would accept now.When Brendan Rodgers steered Liverpool back into the Champions League in May after a five-year absence, the club hoped it would be the start of a revival. Instead the surprise runner-up finish in the Premier League seems increasingly just that — a surprise. And probably a one-off, for now.Preparing to host Arsenal on Sunday, Liverpool is 11th in the standings, already 18 points behind leader Chelsea after losing 3-0 at Manchester United last weekend. Arsenal is only sixth, but the London club is five points in front of Liverpool and just two from fourth place.For two clubs with aspirations above their current status, Arsenal appears to be only one equipped to achieve much this season. Rodgers, though, is putting a brave face on Liverpools struggles.Despite the result at Old Trafford, I saw moments in our game that I thought were good, Rodgers said. We created a lot of chances, so I can certainly see signs of us getting back to where we were. We know theres a way to go.I think slowly were getting there ... there are a lot of players adapting.And there are players out injured still — including striker Daniel Sturridge — which is adding to the loss felt by Luis Suarez joining Barcelona in July.Arsenal forward Theo Walcott could return, though, at Anfield on Sunday. The 25-year-old Walcott, who has made only two appearances this season following a long-term knee injury, is set to resume full training from a groin problem.He is back in training today (Thursday), but only today, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. I might take him (to Liverpool), I dont know yet until he is back to full ttraining. Bob Feller Jersey. Lets see.Here is a look at some other things to look for to in round 17 of the Premier League:___AT THE TOPStoke has already beaten Arsenal and Manchester City this season, so a trip to Britannia Stadium could pose some problems for leader Chelsea on Monday. But a trio of wins over the last week — in the Champions League, Premier League and then League Cup — show the resilience of Jose Mourinhos side.This team has the potential and the quality to be one of the best in Chelseas history if it can prove it by winning trophies, goalkeeper Petr Cech said.City, which is three points behind Chelsea in second place, has had the week off due to its earlier League Cup elimination. Manuel Pellegrinis side can provisionally knock Chelsea off top place by beating Crystal Palace by four goals on Saturday.Manchester United will be chasing a seventh successive victory when the third-place team plays at Aston Villa on Saturday. With each week, Louis van Gaal is banishing memories of David Moyes dismal season in charge, and showing he can return United to the top four.___SURPRISE TEAMSWest Ham has assumed Southamptons tag as the surprise team in the top four.Southampton has endured a disappointing month, losing four consecutive league games before being humiliated in the League Cup on Tuesday by third-tier side Sheffield United. It has another difficult match Saturday at Everton, whose manager Roberto Martinez is well aware of the south-coast sides qualities.They are a joy to watch and very well structured, Martinez said. Ronald Koeman has brought some players that have adapted to our league very quickly. They are a team based an attacking football and are very talented and full of flair.West Ham is two points ahead of Southampton in fourth and host last-place Leicester on Saturday.Even though they (Leicester) havent won since Manchester United (in September) they very rarely lose by more than the odd goal, West Ham manager Sam Allardyce cautioned.
