Record TD

Mississippi State junior cornerback Emmanuel Forbes set an FBS record with his sixth career interception return for a touchdown in the Bulldogs’ 56-7 victory over East Tennessee State.

Forbes’ 79-yard return was his third touchdown of the season. He also scored on returns against Kentucky (59 yards) and Texas A&M (33 yards).

As a freshman in 2020, Forbes had interception returns for touchdowns against Missouri (29 yards), Texas A&M (60) and Tulsa (90).

Forbes tied a Mississippi State record with his sixth interception this season. His 14 career interceptions are two shy of the school record of 16 shared by Walt Harris (1992-95) and Johnathan Banks (2009-12).
