What a thriller in Oxford.<\/p>\n
Lane Kiffin\u2019s return to Vaught Hemingway Stadium didn\u2019t go how he had hoped with No. 8 Ole Miss outlasting No. 7 LSU, 32-24.<\/a><\/p>\n In the first half, it was all Rebels.\u00a0<\/p>\n Trinidad Chambliss went 21-of-27, throwing for 248 yards and two touchdowns, while the Ole Miss defensive line kept LSU signal caller Sam Leavitt under control.<\/p>\n At one point, the Rebels had 214 yards of offense, while the Tigers had 29.<\/p>\n HERE COMES BP \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f@BlakePurchase<\/a> x #HottyToddy<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/b7SmVA4J7K<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ole Miss Football (@OleMissFB) September 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Ole Miss led 24-7 at the half, looking to roll their former head coach until Kewan Lacy exited the game with shoulder pain in the third quarter.<\/p>\n LSU came out of the locker room hot, nabbing two touchdowns and a field goal to tie things up.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ole Miss answered, though, scoring shortly after the Tigers\u2019 star tight end Trey\u2019Dez Green was helped to the sideline, struggling with an apparent lower-body injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Rebels\u2019 successful two-point conversion brought their lead to 32-24.<\/p>\n With one timeout, five minutes to go and 4th and 4, Kiffin went all in on his quarterback. Leavitt converted, giving the Tigers a second chance and a new set of downs.<\/p>\n A pass interference call on the Rebels put LSU in a first and goal position with just under two minutes to go \u2014 but it wasn\u2019t enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n On fourth down, with the ball game on the line, Leavitt\u2019s pass was tipped, ending up in the hands of Ole Miss defender Jaylon Braxton.<\/p>\n You want to see a miracle, son?
