Let's get into it!

Spread: Ole Miss -3.5

O/U: 61.5

Saturday, October 12th, 2024, 6:30 PM Baton Rouge, LA


Saturday, Ole Miss and LSU will meet for the 113th time on the football field. LSU leads the series 63-42-4.


Ole Miss (#9/#8) is 5-1 on the season. Ole Miss will be playing a 3rd consecutive SEC game. Ole Miss has split the two conference contests so far. Ole Miss' offense is #2 in the nation in total yards per game, averaging 576.8 total yards per game. This offense is led by a 3 headed monster: quarterback Jaxton Dart, running back Henry Parrish Jr., and wide receiver Tre Harris. Jaxton Dart has the 2nd most passing yards in the nation with 2100 as well as 13 passing TDs on the season. Henry Parrish Jr. has the 3rd most rushing yards and rushing TDs in the SEC with 570 and 9 rushing TDs. Tre Harris is having a great season; he is ranked #1 in the nation with 52 receptions and receiving yards with 885. Harris is a little dinged up coming into this contest. The Ole Miss defense is #4 in the SEC in yards per game given up, 1st in the SEC in rushing yards per game given up, and 8th in the SEC in passing yards per game given up. This defense is led by defensive ends Jaden Ivey, 5 sacks on the season, and Prince Umanmielen, 3.5 sacks on the season; linebacker Suntarine Perkins, 4.5 sacks on the season, and defensive back Trey Amos, 25 tackles, 2 INTs, and 6 PBUs on the season. Kicker Caden Davis is 9/11 with a long of 44 this season. 2008 was the last time Ole Miss won in Baton Rouge; this team would love to change that.


LSU (#13/#10) is 4-1 on the season. LSU is coming off of a bye week heading into this contest. The Tigers are 1-0 in the SEC this season. LSU's offense is #16 in the nation in total yards per game, averaging 468.2 total yards per game. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier is the life of this offense; as he goes, it goes. Nuss has the 7th most passing yards in the country with 1652, tied for the 5th most passing TDs with 15, and 12th in the country in QBR. Freshman running back Caden Durham is on a heater right now for the Tiger offense; he is a big play waiting to happen. Wide receivers Kyren Lacy and Aaron Anderson have provided a great 1-2 punch on the outside for this offense. Kyren is currently 3rd in the SEC with 5 receiving TDs. The LSU defense is led by Bradyn Swinson and Sai'vion Jones coming off of the edge. Both are in the top 16 in the country in sacks. Whit Weeks and Greg Penn III are really putting together solid seasons for the Tigers at the linebacker position. Whit Weeks has stepped up big time. Ashton Stamps is the leader in the defensive backfield for the Tigers. Kicker Damien Ramos is 5/6 on the season for LSU. A win Saturday would silence the doubters for the Tigers.


KEYS TO THE GAME


- DON'T DO IT - Lane Kiffin is known for his great offenses. You do not want to play chess with Lane. It will be tough, but you cannot get in an offensive duel here.

- LET IT FLY -  The Ole Miss defensive backfield has committed a lot of penalties this season. This is one way you can pick up some hidden yardage in this contest.

- STEP UP - Can this defensive step up when the Tigers need a stop or a takeaway?

- RUMBLE YOUNG MAN RUMBLE - This offense needs everything Caden Durham can provide in this one. Get him in space, and the rest will take care of itself.


Fun fact: Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding is from Louisiana.

When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
