When you love a team, a school and a family as much as the Rebel Nation<\/strong> loves Ole Miss<\/strong>, you don\u2019t cry when they lose, you cry after a historic win. So, the question is: Were there tears of joy in Oxford<\/strong> on Saturday evening? You better believe it. And so it goes. And so it lives. And so it is. <\/span><\/p>\n

Down by a score with just over six minutes to play, the offense, defense and special teams converged into a triune force and Ole Miss football was reborn. A statement drive led by highly criticized signal caller Bo Wallace<\/strong> to tie the game. A fumble recovery by Kailo Moore<\/strong> on the ensuing kickoff leading to the go ahead score. A sealed with a kiss interception by defensive back Senquez Golson<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t the end of it all,\u201d wide receiver Laquon Treadwell<\/strong> told reporters after the historic victory. \u201cThe is just the beginning.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
