MSU Army ROTC cadets receive a signed football from MSU football coach Joe Moorhead prior to Monday's [Nov. 19] sixth annual Egg Bowl Run. The ball is being carried by MSU cadets to Calhoun City, where it will be handed off to cadets from the University of Mississippi's Army ROTC program for the second leg of the approximately 92-mile run to Oxford. The annual event brings the two schools' Army ROTC programs together for a coordinated mission prior to the Egg Bowl, which takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving in Oxford.
