Ole Miss Leans on Strong Defense
Ole Miss is 5-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play. They hasn’t faced any ranked opponents yet, and most of their wins have been significant blowouts. The defense has allowed 6 points or fewer in four of those games. A couple of weeks ago, the Rebels suffered an unexpected home loss to Kentucky, 20-17, as Kentucky held the ball for 40 minutes and Ole Miss had a terrible offensive performance.
In their last game, the Rebels defeated South Carolina 27-3. The offense got off to a strong start, building a 24-3 halftime lead. Their 3rd-down efficiency improved, and the defense forced two turnovers from South Carolina. The Rebels will need to improve their time of possession against LSU and convert more on 3rd downs to avoid taking a second loss this week.
LSU Manages a Consistent Offense
LSU is 4-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play. They’ve won 4 games in a row after losing in the opener to USC. The Tigers have experienced a mix of close games and solid victories. They were tested early in their opener against USC, but have averaged around 40 ppg since then. The defense has been tightening up as well, making LSU even more dangerous.
In their last game, the Tigers defeated South Alabama 42-10. The game was essentially over by halftime, with LSU leading 35-3. The defense recorded shutouts in both the 1st and 4th quarters. The offense generated 667 yards and converted six of nine 3rd downs. LSU’s offense is trending upward at the right time, and they will aim to deliver a strong performance on both sides of the ball against the Rebels.
Ole Miss vs LSU Prediction
Both teams are facing ranked opponents for the first time this season. It’s also an SEC matchup, which makes it even more significant. Ole Miss has shown that if they don’t control the flow of the game, things can get a little sloppy on offense. The Tigers have looked solid on both sides of the ball for two weeks in a row. If LSU can get their offense going early and limit any costly turnovers, they should win this one at home.
