Mississippi State continued its winning ways on Saturday, blowing out Arkansas in a multi-score game to improve to 5-1. And after the win, the Bulldogs’ social media team had some fun at the expense of the Razorbacks.

On Sunday morning following the win, Mississippi State’s Twitter account tweeted out a graphic of bacon frying in a pan and the score of the game also on plates in bacon. The cooked bacon reflected the score of the win, while the bacon in the pan was shaped in the letter “W.”

You can see the tweet below.

Things got started fast for Mississippi State in the game and never slowed down. The Bulldogs scored on a 65-yard drive in the first four minutes of the game, jumping out to a quick 7-0 lead and would later go up 14-0 on Will Rogers’ first touchdown. Rogers went on to throw for 395 yards and three touchdowns, which resulted in Mike Leach touting his quarterback for the Heisman Trophy.

“I don’t think there’s any question whatsoever,” Leach told reporters after the win over Arkansas. “I’m extremely curious who somebody thinks is ahead of him. (Somebody) just selects the biggest team they can think of and some of them will just randomly stick a guy on a list.”
