Look: Squirrel comes onto field, scores touchdown in Ole Miss-OU

There was an unexpected guest on the field during Saturday’s SEC showdown between No. 18 Ole Miss and Oklahoma.

And it wasn’t a fan — well, maybe.

During an injury timeout on the field for Oklahoma’s defensive lineman Gracen Halton, a squirrel broke out onto the field. As play was set to resume at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, the squirrel went into high gear and showed off its speed as it found its way into the end zone.

‘Squirrel might score a touchdown! Oh yeah, touchdown!,’ ESPN’s Bob Wischusen said on the broadcast.

The squirrel breakdown on the field came shortly after the Sooners tied the game at 7-7 with the Rebels on an 11-yard pass from quarterback Jackson Arnold to Bauer Sharp.

Here’s another look from the jumbotron at the squirrel running onto the field during Saturday’s game, which sent the crow inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium into a frenzy:

At the time the squirrel was safely ushered into the end zone and off the field, the game was tied 7-7-7 (Ole Miss, Oklahoma, squirrel).

Saturday is the first meeting between Ole Miss and Oklahoma as SEC foes, and just the second all-time as both programs last met at the 1999 Independence Bowl.

With a win on Saturday, Ole Miss will help keep its hopes alive for their first College Football Playoff appearance under Lane Kiffin. The Rebels brought the No. 2 scoring defense in the country into Saturday’s game, giving up an average of 10.57 points per game.
