Two of the SEC West's most unpredictable and chaotic teams will be featured in the national spotlight on Oct. 23, as No. 13 Ole Miss hosts LSU in the SEC on CBS Game of the Week at 3:30 p.m. ET. And if this game is anything like last season's thriller, won by LSU 53-48, it'll be a classic. That game featured 1,151 yards of total offense, 54 first downs and a stunning six turnovers by the Rebels compared to just one for the Tigers.
Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral was responsible for five of them, but he's proven more steady in 2021 while generating Heisman Trophy buzz. The Rebels are one of the nation's top offensive squads under second-year coach Lane Kiffin. Corral's play is one reason why, but the Rebels also boast a solid rushing attack with the trio of Henry Parrish Jr., Jerrion Ealy and Snoop Conner.
LSU has fallen short of expectations midway through the 2021 season, and the job security of coach Ed Orgeron has become a hot topic. Injuries have also hampered the Tigers, which entered the season ranked No. 16 before falling out of the poll entirely following a season-opening loss at UCLA.
