“It’s a rivalry game playing for the Magnolia Bowl trophy,” said head coach Brian Kelly. “This is a game that goes way back, and the last couple of years, it has been decided on the last plays of the game. Ole Miss is an outstanding football team. They have an established winning culture and an offense that has, again, put up incredible numbers.”


Garrett Nussmeier and the LSU offense are coming off their best performance of the season against Southeastern, accounting for 530 yards of total offense. Nussmeier went 25-31 for 273 yards and three touchdowns. Tight end Bauer Sharp led the team in receiving with five catches for 73 yards and one score, while Ju’Juan Johnson finished the night with 43 yards and two TDs on eight carries.

“I was really pleased with the preparation of our football team, going into a week where you’re off from the SEC,” Kelly said. “I thought, outside the first three-and-out, our offense was what it should be.”

Defensively, the Tigers continued to flash, holding the Lions to just 230 yards of total offense and 10 points. The Tigers have held their opponents to 10 points or less in each of their first four games, which is the longest such streak to start a season since 2006. Blake Baker has his unit flying around.
