The game Parenton started was the 6-7 loss to Southern Miss. Bond was 4-0 vs LSU.
R.A.T. moments at State

To be a RAT, it has to be someone who never plays & no one has ever heard of. Like Tannyhill’s backup at South Carolina, the original RAT. So no one on the 21 CWS title team
I think we had two in the same game. 2017, Taxslayer bowl.
Louisville had Heisman winner Lamar Jackson at QB, we picked him 4 times and sacked him six times.
Meanwhile, we had a head coach, Gregg Knox, who was coaching his very first game as head coach of the Bulldogs after Dan the man departed at the end of the season before the bowl game.
And, at quarterback, Keytaon Thompson, who was making his very first career start following the injury to Nick Fitzgerald from those Ole Miss ******** in the Egg Bowl.
We won the game, much to everyone's surprise.
Keytaon would return to his backup roll in 2018, and would leave us for Virginia to become a wide receiver in 2019.
Knox meanwhile, would get another shot at head coach for the Florida gators, again because Dan left the team. His first head coaching attempt as a Gator was a win versus Florida State

If one leads-to-winning play can define a RAT, then…
CJ SIRMONES
(still wide open)
C.J. Sirmones (Curtis Sirmones Jr.) was a tight end for the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team, best remembered for catching a game-tying 38-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Wayne Madkin with 27 seconds remaining in the 1999 Egg Bowl against Ole Miss (a 23-20 win).

Not State, but one of the biggest RATs of all time was Clint Longley. Thanksgiving 1974. Came in in the 3rd quarter when Staubach got hurt down 16-3. Threw for 203 yards in a 24-23 win. That was half the yards in his 3-year career.
Bullard might be the answer to this riddle, strictly by the definition
Was on our team, directly helped Cuse win
I had forgotten how little time was left when he caught that TD pass.
It’s still simply unfathomable to this day that we were down 20-13 with 27 seconds left, and ended up winning 23-20 in regulation.
That is a great trivia question. John Bond is the only quarterback in history to have a 4-0 record against LSU.
Non State one here too
In 1995, Elvis Grbac starting for the injured Steve Young against the Cowboys in Dallas and had the game of his life.
No. He was a team contributor in such a way that it wasn't a surprise to them that he was in the game.
Myles Gentry as a freshman in the SEC tournament in 2013, shut down... South Carolina? Think he'd only been used sparingly in relief appearances. I just remember someone here was pissed he got the start.
The run Girado had in the 2013 post season was very RAT like. He was lights out that year but mainly used for 1-2 innings all year (after being a 5+ ERA guy for 3 years). Then had an insane stretch of games in the post season where he was striking out 10 / game. I'd bet half his IP and Ks that year came in the post season.

I saw it in Tiger Stadium when Bond beat them the last time. He had quite the day running and passing. He ran the ball straight up the middle for 80 yards. Watched Bond play over a dozen games live and that may have been his best performance.
I'll never forget that game. Our kicker, Dana Moore, who was usually good, missed a 29 yard FG late that would have given us the win.
Keytaon Thompson out playing Lamar Jackson in the Gator Bowl.
Christian Ducre replacing Dixon at Kentucky in 2007.
Jeff Artigues blocking last second FG in 1992 to beat Kentucky.
Wesley Carroll as a Freshman that 2007 only winning season under Croom.

Moore had a groin or hamstring injury, I believe, and he could not hit the ball with the same force.
The older I get the more I apparently remember stuff wrong. I used to remember the score from about every game since the early 1960’s until current. Getting old sucks but it beats the alternative.
He averaged 14 points a game during the season. Let's not act like he was some benchwarmer that never walked on the court.
Not MSU related, but how about Max McGee in the first Super Bowl. He was the 34 year old backup tightend who was so hungover he forgot to bring his helmet and had to borrow a teammate's helmet. The starting tightend got hurt and Max had to play. McGee recorded seven receptions for 138 yards and two touchdowns, in a 35–10 Packers' victory.
