But never had the opportunity for redemption been so clear, so close for Ole Miss: Stop Florida quarterback Tim Tebow on fourth-and-1, and victory was assured. Tebow tucked the ball against his chest, and Jerry met him first. Then two more defenders. Then the entire front line. Tebow, the Heisman Trophy winner, stretched the ball out over the pile, but he fell inches short. And Ole Miss had beaten fourth-ranked Florida, 31-30.
“This,” Jerry said, “is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”.....

The Rebels, meantime, chose to forge a new identity, to make the play that mattered. Gone was the memory of last year’s overtime loss to Mississippi State, which ushered in the Nutt era. Gone was Wake Forest. Gone was Vanderbilt. Gone were the could’ves and should’ves, replaced instead by dids.
“This is going to be the turning point of Ole Miss,” Lockett said. “We’re climbing now. We’re going to the top, and we started with Florida.”

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while, and you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.”

I see a quick ban in your future.
Nutt calls the formation the Wild Rebel. Which sure beats the heck out of Orgeron's Wild Boys.
