AUSTIN, Texas — Jeff Lebby made it clear in Saturday’s postgame news conference that there was no moral victory in Mississippi State football’s 35-13 loss at No. 2 Texas. “The moral victory part of it will not creep into our building whatsoever,” the first-year coach said.

Mississippi State football nearly pulled off a shocking upset against No. 1 Texas, but defensive breakdowns and pass protection issues led to a 35-13 loss.

Arch Manning and the top-ranked Texas Longhorns play their first official Southeast Conference game on their home field Saturday against Mississippi State.
