STARKVILLE, Miss. — Dak Prescott rushed for a 3-yard touchdown in overtime to lead Mississipp­i State past Mississipp­i 17-10 in the Egg Bowl on Thursday night.

Prescott didn’t enter the game until the fourth quarter because of an injury to his non-throwing shoulder.

But the sophomore led the Bulldogs to their tying drive in the fourth quarter and the gamewinner in overtime.

Texas 41, Texas Tech 16: — Case McCoy passed for two touchdowns and ran for another and Texas kept its Big 12 title hopes alive.

Joe Bergeron ran for 102 yards and a touchdown for the Longhorns who end their regular season on Dec. 7 at No. 9 Baylor.

If Texas wins that game and No. 7 Oklahoma State loses to No. 18 Oklahoma, the Longhorns would win their first conference championsh­ip since 2009.

Texas Tech ended its regular season with its fifth consecutiv­e loss.
