Preview per LSUSports.net:

Before enjoying an open date last Saturday, the Tigers suffered their first loss of the season at Ole Miss, falling to the Rebels, 24-19, at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and the offense struggled to complement an LSU defense that posted a valiant effort in a hostile road environment.

“We know what’s in front of us,” said head coach Brian Kelly. “We’re excited about what lies in front of us. Outstanding teams who are nationally ranked. This is the part of the season where teams begin to show what they’re made of.”

Defensively, LSU has limited opponents to 12.2 points per contest and 293.0 total yards per game (84.4 rushing, 208.6 passing). LSU’s defense has also forced eight turnovers and the Tigers rank No. 2 in the SEC in interceptions with seven through five games. There’s still a ton to like from Blake Baker’s unit.
