re: Cannon's run question...

I was a boy scout usher in the south end zone. After the Cannon run, Ole Miss had first and goal from the 4 yard line. The white team was put in and Cannon and Johnny Robinson both were on the 3rd and 4th down tackles on Jake Gibbs that stopped Ole Miss. Those are the facts. Had the Rebels scored, the loss and the 89 yard run would have diminished the lore that remains today. It did not rain during the game, but the field was wet and the night was humid.
