Mississippi State started off strong against North Carolina State, allowed the game to tighten a bit, and then ran away with a huge victory in the Belk Bowl. For Bulldog fans, we saw Dak Prescott trot off the field for the final time, celebrated consecutive nine-win seasons for the first time and a whole lot more. Here's what the people of twitter had to say about the victory.
Mississippi State cowbell thing honest to God the worst idea ever conceived. Just tens of thousands of people who give no F's about earbuds.

Really wish Manny had gone to midfield after the pick and yelled, "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?"
— Justin Sutton (@justinrsutton) December 30, 2015
Prescott had 22 passing yards on that drive. He is now the 17th player in SEC history to throw for at least 9,000 yards in a career.

CB Burris with some jawing on first play, then Wilson ate him up, including block on TD. 7-0 Bulldogs #BelkBowl

MSU's defense picks up a nice deal, and Fred Ross takes it all the way to the register #BelkBowl

Dear Belk, if we win this game you have to change the name of the Mississippi stores back to McRae’s.

That's an important fumble in terms of the history books. Dak needs one rushing touchdown to tie MSU's career rushing touchdowns record.

Miss. State's Dak Prescott isn't your conventional pro QB, but one of the most mentally tough at his position I've see. Dynamic player.

De'Runnya Wilson was out of bounds but that catch should stand on degree of difficulty.
