Ole Miss fan goes viral during tense moment in nail-biting win
Another college football fan has gone viral after an ESPN cameraperson showed a blonde woman in the stands during Ole Miss’ 41-38 win against Louisville in the Music City Kickoff on Sunday.
During the third quarter, while the Rebels led the Cardinals by two points (24-22), the cameraperson focused on the woman — identified as Sara Smith — looking worried as Louisville scored a touchdown.
She was clutching her phone with her arms raised and her hands on her head.
It seemed she was rooting for Ole Miss since she was sitting near Rebels fans.
The X account Campus Cuties, which highlights college students, publicly identified the woman online — and shared a photo of her in a blue bikini.
An Instagram account rumored to be hers is set to private and the bio says she is an Ole Miss Alum from Knoxville.
She hasn’t come forward publicly to address the buzz as of Monday.
It seems that every college football season some women receive the viral treatment while in the stands unbeknownst to them.
Lucas Carneiro, in his first career start, kicked a 48-yard field goal as time expired to seal Mississippi’s victory over Louisville in Week 1.
The Rebels are off to a hot start under first-year head coach Pete Golding following Lane Kiffin’s departure to LSU in November.
Kiffin’s Tigers crushed Clemson 51-10 in their season opener in Baton Rouge on Saturday.
Ole Miss hosts Charlotte on Saturday, and Louisville hosts Villanova on Saturday.
