“#LSU goes on a 42-3 run to take down undefeated No. 7 Ole Miss, 45-20. Suddenly, Brian Kelly and LSU are 6-2 (4-1 SEC) and in share of lead in SEC West with a massive matchup in two weeks as Alabama comes to Tiger Stadium,” Brody Miller wrote.
“LSU held Ole Miss to three points over the game’s final 44:57,” Dave Ubben wrote.
“The fact that a win over Ole Miss merits a field storming gives you perspective on just how far LSU had sunken since 2019. Still, I’m not mad about it,” Jeff Nowak said.
