What a wild game in Nashville Thursday night
Two teams, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt, who are trying to take a seat at the big boy table in the SEC battled and each played like they really wanted it.
The Commodores were up 35-32 late in the fourth quarter and things looked great for Vandy.
With 1:30 left and Ole Miss will possession at their own 25 senior Jeff Scott got the ball and took it the distance.
“Bo gave me the ball, I started to bend the corner and I said `OK, I gotta get out of bounds,’ ” Scott said. “But that’s when I saw Donte (Moncrief) seal his man and set the corner. I just hit up the seam. I think I surprised them because last year teams looked at me as undersized and they thought I’d go out-of-bounds.”
Scott didn't run out-of-bounds. What he did was break the hearts of 'Dore fans.
Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze liked the play, loved the result.
"I knew that it would be a good run play," Freeze said. "Obviously, I didn't know it would go all the way to the house. But I thought it would be a good run play."
"They blocked us in space and (Scott) is fast," Franklin said.
Jeff Scott finished with 138 yards and an Rebel hero for the week.
