Summary

Ole Miss authored one of college football’s greatest modern upsets nearly two decades ago.

The Rebels walked into The Swamp in late-September of 2008 and stunned No. 4 Florida and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. The play everybody still remembers — the one that ultimately swung the game — was former Rebel defensive end Kentrell Lockett’s blocked PAT.

Lockett joined the Spirit’s Ben Garrett and Sudu Upadhyay on the latest episode of Game Runs Deep.
