History

Historical Context

Since the NCAA adopted its overtime system for Division I in the 1996 season, ties vanished and late-game tactics shifted, as seen in early one-play finishes like Ohio’s 85-yard interception return in 2005. The September 6 2026 Music City Kickoff continued that trend when Ole Miss edged Louisville 41-38 on a 48-yard field-goal in overtime before 57,390 fans.
