It was the most unlikely run on a football field all Saturday, and it took place in Oxford, Mississippi.
No, not Ole Miss, nor Oklahoma.
The game was stopped as a squirrel ran onto the field in the first quarter, and the fans were all for it. Fans went nuts – yeah, we know what we did there – for the squirrel as it made a dash for the end zone.
If you are keeping stats at home, it appears it was a 17-yard run for the score.
