The 15th-ranked visitors faced a 3rd and 1 just shy of their own 35 yard line, AC/DC's "Hell's Bells" started playing through the considerable speaker system — and with the sea of red-adorned Tide fans going crazy in the stands, it didn't look good for Ole Miss.

And that seemed to play out when the Rebels' snap from center sailed high.
While Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly was able to snatch the errant pigskin, Alabama defenders had already converged upon him for a sack.
So Kelly heaved it in the general direction of his left-side wide receivers as he began to fall to earth:

The Crimson Tide lost the game 43-37; it was the first victory for Ole Miss visiting Alabama in nearly 30 years.
