As the story goes Ole Miss decided to cheat after the infamous Mercy Knee at the hands of the Tigers in 2011.
So do we owe ourselves?

Thanks to Les Miles' mercy, Ole Miss was spared its worst loss in 81 years Saturday night.
The top-ranked Tigers, leading 52-3 and possessing the ball at the Ole Miss 1-yard-line with five minutes left, took a knee on four successive plays and turned the ball over on downs with three minutes left.
Had LSU gained the one yard and scored a touchdown, it would have been the worst loss for Ole Miss since a 64-0 drubbing against Alabama in 1930. As it was, the loss equaled a 49-0 loss to Georgia in 1974.
"That's the first time that's happened to me," Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said. "Les was just trying to be nice right there and I appreciate it. It doesn't make you feel good either way. Les is a good man. He understands."
