Mississippi State Stuns No. 10 Arizona State on Late 58-Yard TD as Fans Rush Field

The celebration could trigger a $500,000 SEC penalty under a new uniform field-rushing rule.

Overview

  • The Bulldogs won 24-20 at Davis Wade Stadium after Arizona State briefly took the lead late.
  • Blake Shapen connected with Brenen Thompson for a 58-yard touchdown with about 30 seconds remaining.
  • Fans poured onto the field and tore down goalposts while Sun Devils players and coaches were still present, according to videos and reports.
  • Under the policy adopted in May, the SEC imposes a $500,000 fine for each field entry by spectators, with discretion to waive it if the field is cleared of visitors and officials.
  • No fine has been announced as of early Sunday, and the win marks a notable step for Jeff Lebby’s rebuild after a 2-10 season.
