Overview
- Ole Miss beat LSU 24-19, outgaining the Tigers 480-254 as LSU went 2-for-11 on third down and managed 57 rushing yards.
- Garrett Nussmeier went 21-for-34 for 197 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and he declined to discuss his health as Brian Kelly urged better play across the offense.
- Starting right tackle Weston Davis was injured in warmups, forcing true freshman Carius Curne into action and contributing to protection issues against light rushes.
- Lead back Caden Durham was out, freshman Harlem Berry scored late but LSU handed running backs the ball just twice in the first half and the ground game never materialized.
- Despite a defense that held Ole Miss under six yards per play with nine tackles for loss, LSU fell to 4-1, dropped to No. 13, and saw CFP odds slide in updated FPI and betting markets before a bye and South Carolina next.
