A loss to Ole Miss following a 17-point defeat at home against rival Arkansas and a bitter defeat at Alabama would give LSU three losses in SEC play this season.

Perhaps even more interestingly, though, Landry posed the question of whether rebounding this week against Ole Miss, as the Tigers and their fans hope so badly they can, might only pull the mask back over a few of those deficiencies to a degree and make coach Les Miles more hesitant to make any, or many, staff or philosophical changes.
Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said that his team’s defense was “fantastic” during last weekend’s loss to Alabama with the notable exception of a handful of plays. “That is what they do”. It’s like being asked to guess whether Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde is going to show up on any given Saturday-I can’t find any rhyme or reason to it.
Ole Miss (7-3) was in control of the SEC race, assured of a spot in the conference championship game for the first time if it won out, but the Razorbacks ruined those plans with a 53-52 overtime victory at Oxford on November 7. Treadwell holds the Ole Miss record with five straight games with 100 receiving yards.
Between that and the teams’ histories, yeah, it’s safe to say emotions will be running high for the SEC on CBS Game of the Week.
“We just had to figure out where he was, what all he could do for us”, Henry said.
“I don’t look back a lot”. I have watched nearly every down of Ole Miss Rebel football for as long as I can remember.
“At the time you think it’s the right thing to do, but looking back I don’t’ know if it was or not”, he said. It presents a challenge to manage stopping the running game and not giving up explosive plays that he has the capabilities of making. “We were impressed with him then, and we continue to be”.
In 2011 and 2013, five SEC teams had at least 10 wins, including bowl games, and four recorded at least 11 victories. “I don’t think that there could be any more motivation than the motivation I have”. With a healthy supporting cast, I expect Kelly to get his due vs. a talented Tiger defense.
“To come here was just an unbelievable opportunity, and I can’t be thankful enough for it”, Peterman told the AP. After two losses to SEC West division foes, LSU is now contemplating the suddenly very real possibility of a Les Miles firing.
“He’s only gotten better”, Freeze said. Kelly has also tossed 23 touchdowns and ran for seven touchdowns, but he has thrown 12 interceptions. The team’s passing defense ranks 8th out of 14 league teams.
Second, it became evident in their loss to Alabama (their only blemish on the season at press time) that LSU is a one-dimensional offense.
Oklahoma State 43, Baylor 37: The Cowboys have won the last four meetings against the Bears in Stillwater and Baylor may be down to its’ third quarterback in Chris Johnson, if Jarrett Stidham’s back injury doesn’t heal. The Tigers found themselves down 10-0 at ‘Bama two weeks ago and trailed 21-7 to Arkansas at halftime, last Saturday.
The teams face each other in Vaught-Hemingway this Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
“It was a hard ending for sure”, Freeze said. I’ve never done that. Do you think he’s right? “And if they don’t, we probably notice that back in September”. “It was totally unintentional by our kid to touch the facemask”.

Fournette has failed to perform at a Heisman-worthy level in recent weeks, largely due to subpar play on the offensive line. LSU’s assistants have contracts that requires they be paid for six months if Miles is fired. Let’s just pretend we’ve using it since 1963 or so.
