No. 4 LSU and No. 13 Ole Miss are tangling Saturday afternoon in a top-15 SEC clash that will dictate the tone of conference play for both. The Tigers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) are searching for a second straight win over the Rebels (4-0, 2-0) after earning a 29-26 overtime victory in Baton Rouge last season.
This time, they are back at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, which is where Ole Miss outlasted LSU 55-49 in a record-setting 2023 showdown. A return of those offensive fireworks would require the emergence of LSU’s offense from a quiet start. It has been the Tigers’ defense leading the way over the season’s first month. Ole Miss will be the most competent offense that LSU has faced, especially amid the emergence of quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. The transfer from Division II Ferris State surpassed 300 yards passing each of the past two weeks while leading the Rebels to wins over Arkansas and Tulane. Chambliss has also proven to be a skilled runner while filling in for the injured Austin Simmons.
LSU counters with a star-caliber quarterback of its own in Garrett Nussmeier, who is seeking a breakthrough moment amid a subdued beginning to his final college season.
