There was a time not too long ago when Ole Miss stood up to Alabama, when goal posts came down, games were decided in the final minutes and the Crimson Tide's supremacy in the SEC was challenged.
For three years, the Rebels were a collective thorn in Alabama's side, forging two upsets and nearly staging a third back in 2016.

It proved a fleeting period. Scandal rocked Ole Miss.
