LSU has its biggest win of the Brian Kelly era.
The Tiger defense stopped the Ole Miss offense during the second half in a 45-20 win over the No. 7 Rebels. It’s the first loss of the season for Ole Miss and, as LSU fans would like to point out, it wasn’t an upset either. LSU entered the game as a 2-point favorite.
Ole Miss jumped out to an early 17-3 lead and it briefly looked like it would be a cakewalk. That cakewalk instead was an LSU rout. Ole Miss failed to score a TD the rest of the way as LSU tied the game at 17-17 on the way to a 42-3 run to close the game. LSU QB Jayden Daniels had five total TDs against Ole Miss a week after he had six touchdowns against Florida. Daniels threw for two scores and ran for three as Ole Miss’ defense was helpless to stop him on the ground in the second half. After putting LSU ahead for good with a pass to Mason Taylor for Taylor’s first collegiate TD, Daniels rushed for two scores in the fourth quarter.
The explosive Ole Miss offense couldn’t start any sort of comeback. Ole Miss entered the game heavily reliant on a rushing attack that featured Quinshon Judkins and Zach Evans. With Evans out on Saturday, the rushing load fell to Judkins and LSU keyed in on him. Judkins did finish with over 100 yards and two scores but Ole Miss averaged less than four yards a carry as a team.
Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart threw more than 30 passes in a game for just the second time all season and wasn’t very efficient. Dart was 19-of-34 passing for 284 yards and an interception. After tallying nearly 300 yards of offense in the first half, the Rebels only broke the 100-yard mark in the second half in a garbage time drive.
