The Egg Bowl regular-season finale against Mississippi State (7-3, 3-3) will be at 6:15 p.m. November 28 in Starkville. Orgeron will be coaching against Ole Miss for just the second time since he was its head coach on Saturday and for the first time against Freeze.

So if you stuck around to this point, I’m sorry, all of the above are just complaints with a few stats.
It’s wonderful how quickly things can change in the world of college football.
I am looking at the top LSU Coaching Candidates from each of these categories and one wild card prospect I think LSU fans should keep an eye on over the coming weeks, should Miles – as we suggested here yesterday – be fired at the end of the season by AD Joe Alleva.
“That was good for us also”.
Ole Miss contained Fournette in the teams’ meeting last season in Baton Rouge, limiting him to 113 yards on 23 carries. The Rebels fell to the Razorbacks 53-52 in overtime in Oxford.
But in the span of just two Saturdays, with humbling losses to Alabama and Arkansas, the ice has thinned under Miles’ feet to the point where strong indications are that he will be coaching for his very job at Ole Miss on Saturday and the week after that against Texas A&M.
Surprisingly, Ole Miss ended its “let’s lose every two weeks” streak by defeating Auburn in Week 9. But 25 years of covering LSU, cultivating a variety of knowledgeable sources, have led this writer to believe there is a serious threat to Miles’ tenure here. “That’s when we started touching, and that’s when the cop came over”. With the All-American back in the lineup each of the last three games following a seven-game suspension handed down by the NCAA for impermissible benefits, Ole Miss has averaged more than 202 yards a game on the ground with numerous runs going behind the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Tunsil on the left side. Ole Miss won the last series matchup at home. They have fallen from the No. 2 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings to in danger of becoming unranked.
“It needs to be important to everyone that meets in this room in the afternoons”, Freeze said.
“You must trust in your intuition, the same intuition that threw the fake against Florida, and yet meet both victory and finishing second with the equal strength, and I think Kipling makes a great point”.
This would be an unfathomable thought 10 days ago when LSU was undefeated, No. 2 in the nation and running back Leonard Fournette was the Heisman front-runner. They are one of the more talented teams in the country.
“You wouldn’t expect a coaching staff to bring in guys like that in one year”. They occasionally promote from within or get a coach from a small school or National Football League team as well.
LSU sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris, whom Freeze recruited out of Parkway High in Bossier City, completed 21 of 35 for 271 yards and a touchdown with an interception against the Razorbacks in one of his better games statistically. Tennessee beat North Texas 24-0 in a game that should have been much more lopsided than the final score while Missouri gutted out a big win against BYU with the news of Gary Pinkel’s health-related resignation, effective at the end of the season, less than a day old.

“I did my little walk around the field and went out to the 50”, Tretola said on Tuesday. “I know what he did when we were together”. I think it is proven.
