5. 1997 – Ole Miss 15, MSU 14 (Starkville)
Tommy Tuberville’s reputation as a riverboat gambler was sealed by this one. The Rebels trailed 14-7 late in this one and had been outplayed for most of the game. But they put together a long drive late that culminated in a touchdown and two point conversion to win the game. In addition to losing a heartbreaker in dramatic fashion to their bitter rival, this game also cost the 7-4 Bulldogs a bowl bid. That bid to the Motor City Bowl went to the Rebels, who were also 7-4.
