LSU Football will kick off at Ole Miss on Sat., Sept. 30 at 5 p.m. CT on ESPN, the league announced on Monday.

The Tigers are coming off a beat down of Mississippi State in Starkville, rolling to a 41-14 victory. The Rebels outlasted Georgia Tech, 48-23, on Saturday.

This week, LSU faces Arkansas in Tiger Stadium at 6 p.m CT on ESPN while Ole Miss heads to Alabama for a 2:30 p.m. CT contest on CBS.

LSU’s unique approach to gameday in Starkville

This past weekend, LSU kicked off SEC play with a convincing win. Despite the 11 a.m. CT kickoff, Brian Kelly’s team was ready to play. They stopped at a car dealership on the way to Starkville to loosen up early and start getting mentally prepared.

“All good ideas are my ideas. So it worked, so we’ll consider it my idea. It was when we looked at the trip as being over an hour, I felt like I didn’t want the team sleeping and falling asleep on the bus,” Kelly prepared. “So we found a spot that we use one of our car dealers to make a call and there was a dealership right off the highway. We pulled the buses and we did our substitution drill, just to get our guys up thinking about their substitution on special teams.

“We did a little light stretch, it was only about 10 minutes but it got them up, got them alert, and the idea again was just to break up the trip so that was about 45 minutes, and then we only had about 20 minutes and coming in so it really just, again, it’s just the way you think about it. And so they felt like hey, we got 20 minutes. Then we came in we had one more, our pregame video. We did it in the locker room instead of at the hotel. Just just to get the guys on edge and I think it worked pretty good.”

Now in the latest edition of LSU vs. Ole Miss, we’ll see if LSU can make it a two-game winning streak over the Rebels or if Lane Kiffin’s team battles back to win one. LSU leads the series, 65-41-4.
