Underdog Rebels return to Tuscaloosa with hope for vengeance

Prior to 2014, the yearly game between Ole Miss and Alabama seemed nothing short of a chore. Alabama was the older brother picking on his younger, less-developed sibling.

However, after 2013’s embarrassing 25-0 shutout loss at the hands of the always-dominant Crimson Tide and its legendary head coach Nick Saban something seemed to change in the matchups between the two teams.

The 2014 season came, and Ole Miss shocked the world with a 23-17 upset that saw the students rush the field, tear down the goal post and parade it through Oxford.

The next year saw an equally stunning upset: a 43-37 electrifying victory for the Rebels in Tuscaloosa.
