The Kentucky-Ole Miss game wasn't even two minutes old, and tensions were running high on the Rebels' bench.
The Rebels gained 11 yards on a third and 12 and opted to leave the offense on the field to get a first down. But tight end Michael Trigg committed a false start, backing Ole Miss up five yards and forcing a punt.
