Ole Miss fan's dramatic reaction goes viral during nail-biting win over Louisville
A blonde Ole Miss supporter captured on camera reacting anxiously as Louisville scored went viral after the Rebels edged the Cardinals 41-38.
In the tightly contested Music City Kickoff, Ole Miss defeated Louisville 41-38 after a dramatic finish. A camera caught a blonde fan, Sara Smith, looking visibly worried while Louisville scored a touchdown in the third quarter, despite sitting among Rebels supporters. The X account Campus Cuties later identified her and shared an image of her wearing a blue bikini; her Instagram profile, set to private, lists her as an Ole Miss alumna from Knoxville.
She has not responded to the online attention. The Rebels' victory was clinched when Lucas Carneiro, making his first start, kicked a 48-yard field goal as the clock ran out. The win continues a strong start for the Rebels under first-year head coach Pete Golding after Lane Kiffin left for LSU. Ole Miss will host Charlotte next, while Louisville faces Villanova.
