Zach Berry of the Ole Miss Spirit (OMSpirit.com) settled in on Wednesday night for a play-through of No. 9 Ole Miss’ upcoming road trip to No. 10 LSU. 

The Rebels are 5-1 (1-1 SEC) on an expectations-filled 2024-25 season after rebounding from an upset loss to Kentucky with a 27-3 win at South Carolina. The Tigers are 4-1 (1-1) and winners of four straight following a season-opening loss to USC.

“Good week so far at practice,” fifth-year Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said on the SEC Teleconference on Wednesday. “Playing against a great team that’s coached extremely well. Defense has improved dramatically from last year, and I think the quarterback’s playing great. These are really big matchups.”

Ole Miss hasn’t beaten LSU in Death Valley since 2008 — a 31-13, Jevan-Snead-led Rebel win.

Can Jaxson Dart and Co. finally solve the riddle once more this weekend? 

“I thought it was a great comeback,” Kiffin said of last year’s meeting between the traditional rivals, a 55-49 Ole Miss win in a thriller. “Came against one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in college football and probably one of the best skill groups with the receivers.

“It was a pretty neat win. Luckily, they ran out of time at the end in the last drive. I also remember (Jayden Daniels) did throw it to us, actually. The game would have been over a few plays earlier but we dropped the interception.”

Fans and media obviously have little or nothing to do with the ultimate outcome. But we have NCAA ’25 to help us generate a better picture.
