Following an exciting victory over the LSU Tigers, Ole Miss fans were overcome with emotion. Once the final play of Saturday’s game concluded, Rebel fans completed the storybook night by storming the field. These actions, however, would not come without consequence.
As the game ended, Ole Miss’ student section cleared out onto the field to celebrate with their peers. The remaining fans from a record-setting crowd soon followed after.
After the dust settled on Sunday, the SEC notified the university of a $100,000 for the pandemonium of rushing the field. Frequent field storming across the country last season led to conferences putting rules in place to enforce safety.
