Mississippi 25, Georgia Tech 17: Bo Wallace ran for two touchdowns and threw for another as the Rebels held off the Yellow Jackets at the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville.

Each team scored on its first drive as Wallace ran 17 yards for a score 4:45 in and Godhigh responded by running in from 8 yards with 4:27 left in the opening quarter.
