The Ole Miss Rebels scored 22 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to come from behind and spoil No. 12 Alabama’s homecoming festivities Saturday with a 22-12 upset win.

The win was the first ever for Ole Miss at Tuscaloosa, Ala. where the Rebels have been shut out eight times. It was also the first time since 1976 the Crimson tide lost to Ole Miss.
