But LSU is not a rival.

Every team in the SEC West is a potential rival, especially when that team is #2 and standing in the way of a berth in the SEC Championship as well as the CFB Playoff.

I know it's hard to remember now, but that game featured two Top 5 teams in 2015. Ole Miss had also just lost to Arkansas, giving us a chance to take the lead in the SEC West with a win.

And it was a night game to boot. Any game with those circumstances is going to be loud and electric.
