Jacksonville State beats Ole Miss (SEMO did it 103 years ago)

This is absolutely huge! Jacksonville State pulling of a come-from-behind upset victory of big-boy-football-team Ole Miss. The Gamecocks knocked off the Rebels 49-48 in overtime.

It's not the first time the Rebs have lost to a team (currently) in the OVC. Ole Miss suffered a 12-6 loss to SEMO in 1907. It was the only victory of the season for Southeast.

Blanchard threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Kevyn Cooper on fourth-and-15 to pull within 48-47 in the second overtime. Then, the Gamecocks made the call to go for the win in the season opener for both teams.

Jacksonville State, a Football Championship Subdivision team from the Ohio Valley Conference, trailed 31-10 at halftime but outscored Ole Miss 21-3 in the fourth quarter to force overtime.

Jeremiah Masoli made his much-anticipated debut for Mississippi after being cleared by the NCAA on Friday. He completed 7 of 10 passes for 109 yards and one interception.

Ole Miss is 6-6 all-time in overtime games.
