Instead of coming together to have a friendly game of football on the holiday, the two teams fought like family members on opposite sides of the political spectrum.
The Rebels were driving late in the third quarter and quarterback Matt Corral connected with wide receiver A.J. Brown for a deep touchdown. That's when the fighting started.
Meanwhile, players from both teams began pushing and shoving immediately after Brown touched down, with the fight then spilling across the end zone and both benches rushing onto the field to join the melee. Three players from Mississippi State were ejected following the brawl.
When the dust finally settled, and everyone returned to his proper sideline, officials ejected Peters, Mississippi State cornerback Cameron Dantzler, Ole Miss defensive back C.J. Moore, and Mississippi State linebacker Willie Gay Jr.

The company later apologised in a statement on Weibo , saying both Gabbana's and the brand's accounts had been hacked. In their apology clip, the designers didn't repeat an earlier allegation that their Instagram accounts were hacked.
The referees made a novel ruling and said every player on both teams all received an unsportsmanlike penalty.
The most exciting part of the game's final 30 minutes came on a play that didn't even count.
Mississippi State now awaits their postseason fate and the season is over for Ole Miss.
In the non-fight portion of the game, Nick Fitzgerald ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score to lead No. 22 Mississippi State to a dominant 35-3 win.
