The LSU Tigers hosted Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday afternoon for a primetime SEC matchup. Ole Miss entered the game undefeated and ranked in the top ten – and in the first quarter, they looked like it. Jaxson Dart and Ole Miss' offense moved down the field with ease, scoring on each of their first three possessions. LSU was down 17-3 and it looked like they didn't have an answer for Kiffin and the Rebs. So how was LSU able to not just squeak out a win, but dominate Ole Miss with a final score of 45-20 after an early deficit?
LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels looked like a super hero for the second week in a row, putting up almost 370 total yards of offense and five total touchdowns: two in the air and three on the ground. After a six total touchdown performance against Florida, Daniels is quickly proving wrong those who claimed Daniels is not a starting caliber SEC QB. He has improved immensely since Week 1 against Florida State and looks much more confident and poised in the pocket to add another layer to LSU's offense.
Plus, defensive coordinator Matt House was able to make adjustments on the defensive side of the ball that nearly shut down Ole Miss' high-powered offense. House was able to utilize freshman superstar Harold Perkins and that made all the difference. Lane Kiffin even credited Perkins after the game, saying "nobody can do what 40 can do."
While LSU still has mistakes to correct and problems to clean up (special teams, slow starts in important games), LSU fans can feel much better about their team as it sits 6-2 on the season and atop the SEC West as the Alabama Crimson Tide come to town the first weekend in November.
