Ole Miss receives ESPY for best upset

Ole Miss received even more recognition for their incredible upset of Alabama last night on ESPN’s annual award show, the ESPYS.

Ole Miss won the “Best Upset” award, beating out Georgia State’s NCAA Basketball tournament upset of Baylor and the Kansas City Royals’s improbable playoff run and American League Pennant win.

Bo Wallace and Senquez Golson accepted the award in Los Angeles.

The game was featured on the show College Gameday, which made its first ever trip to Oxford. Celebrity guest picker Katy Perry was the lone picker to select the Rebels as the winning team.
