My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson


Takeaways

* The Pelicans were up by 35 points and 29 points at the half, but majorly struggled offensively in the second half to make the game a lot closer than it seemed after the first half.

* Zion Williamson was active all night, and it was key to the Pels' getting the win.

* Naji Marshall tied his career high with three pointers made

* Every player who got minutes for New Orleans was valuable in this win. This was a grind-it-out kind of game because of how atrocious they played in the second half.

* The Pelicans were up by only six point with 1:11 minutes to go in the game, so it was great to see the Pelicans close out a close one.

The losing streak is up to three games, and after last week's horrible loss to the Seahawks, the Saints aim to bounce back in Week 4. Only issue is their opponent... the Buffalo Bills.

When: Saturday, September 27th, 2025, 2:30 PM Where: Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, MS Channel: ABC Spread: Ole Miss -1.5 O/U: 55.5 This will be a battle in Oxford. This game features 2 teams with postseason dreams! Ole Miss Rebels Ole Miss comes into this game with a 4-0 record. The Rebels are looking to go 3-0 in SEC play. Trinidad Chambliss will get the start at quarterback. The former Ferris State star is a dual threat quarterback. Kewan Lacy and Logan Diggs are the leaders in the running back room. Lacy has 7 TDs on the season. Harrison Wallace III, Deuce Alexander, and Dae'Quan Wright are the leading pass catchers on this team. Zxavian Harris and Will Echoles are the leaders on the defensive line. Jaden Yates and TJ Dottery are the leaders in the linebacker room. Wydett Williams, Jr. and Antonio Kite are the leaders in the defensive back room. LSU Tigers LSU enters this contest with a 4-0 record. The Tigers are trying to move to 2-0 in conference play. Garrett Nussmeier will look to keep the momentum rolling in this game. Running back Caden Durham is a bit banged up. Ju'Juan Johnson and Harlem Berry will look to lead the running back room if Durham cannot play. Aaron Anderson is the leading pass catcher on this team. Bauer Sharp, Zavion Thomas, and Barion Brown are the other leading pass catchers on this team. West Weeks and Dahvon Keys are the leading tacklers on this Tiger defense. Tamarcus Cooley and AJ Haulcy are the leaders in the defensive back room. Jack Pyburn and Jacobian Guillory II are the leaders on the defensive line. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tiger defense contain Trinidad Chambliss? - Can the Tiger offensive line hold up against this Ole Miss defensive line? - Can the offense stay balanced in this one? This will be a great game in this storied rivlary! Fun fact; The last time these 2 teams met while being undefeated was on Halloween night in 1959. Billy Cannon took care of it for the Tigers!
