Ole Miss Defeats LSU 32-24 in Oxford

No. 8 Ole Miss defeated No. 7 LSU 32-24 in Oxford on Saturday night, spoiling Lane Kiffin’s emotional return to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium after he left the Rebels for LSU. Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns and scored the decisive 14-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. LSU erased a 24-7 halftime deficit to tie the game, but Ole Miss completed a 75-yard scoring drive without injured running back Kewan Lacy and converted a crucial two-point attempt. LSU’s final attempt to take the lead ended when Sam Leavitt’s fourth-down pass was deflected and intercepted in the end zone. Ole Miss improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the SEC, while LSU fell to 2-1 and 0-1; Ole Miss next visits unbeaten Florida, and LSU visits Texas A&M.
