Ole Miss fans go crazy over squirrel who stops play by running into end zone

It was the most improbable race on a football field all Saturday, and it took place in Oxford, Mississippi.

No, not Ole Miss or Oklahoma.

The game was stopped when a squirrel ran onto the field in the first quarter, and the fans agreed. The fans went crazy (yes, we know what we did there) for the squirrel as he ran into the end zone.

If you keep the stats at home, it looks like it was a 17-yard run for a score.
