First Half
The Rebels forced a turnover, cashed in with a FG for an early 3-0 lead.
Surrendered 17 straight points, but fought back and tied up the game with a pick 6 with just over 2 minutes till half time.
Gave up a long pass for a touchdown and trailed again just over minute later, but fought back again to tie it up with a Jaxson Dart rushing touchdown with :19 left in the half.
Second Half
Late throw becomes a pick 6.
Long drive stalls out for a short FG attempt, kick is blocked and returned for 6.
Nothing else works for the Ole Miss offense and LSU tacks on 17 more points.
In a season that has been full of terrible performances, this is one the staff feels even worse about, as the game was within reach. But a few mistakes, and the luck that has been against them all season showed up yet again. 5 more games till the bleeding finally stops.
The Fightin' Tigers went into Oxford this Saturday ready to avoid a trap game against a dwindling Ole Miss team that was fired up to pull off the home upset. The game started with a back-and-forth battle between each team's offense until LSU star QB Nussmeier found fellow partner in crime RB Durham on a deep pass for a TD just before half. The second half was dominated by the stout Tiger D as Safety Gilbert and CB Stamps both had INTs for 6 and the LB nightmare duo of Penn and Perk combined for 21 tackles. Nussmeier and Co. did not pull their foot off the gas either as they continued to pour it on the Rebels to secure a crucial SEC W. RB Durham was by far and away the player of the game as he totaled 115 yds 1 TD on the ground with 156 yds 2 TDs in the air.
The Tigers now look ahead to a home game in Death Valley against Arkansas.
