Ole Miss converts on fourth down to get the win
09/27/2025 06:30:30 PMThe Ole Miss offense passed on the chance at a long field goal, instead choosing to go for the win on 4th-and-3. The result: a 20-yard pickup by Dae’Quan Wright on a pass from Trinidad Chambliss. With no timeouts remaining, Ole Miss kneeled the clock out to secure the 24-19 win over LSU. The loss dropped the Tigers to 4-1 on the season with seven games remaining.
LSU scores late, Ole Miss leads 24-19 in final minutes
09/27/2025 06:20:35 PMLSU went on a 15-play, 80-yard drive late in the fourth quarter to erase a double-digit deficit on a series that saw the Tigers convert a fourth down on a completion to wide receiver Kyle Parker. From there, LSU relied on freshman Harlem Berry, who punched the ball in from near the goal line for the score. The 2-point conversion failed for the Tigers, which meant LSU would need a stop on defense and a touchdown to win the game.
Ramos hits another FG to cut the Ole Miss lead to 4 points
09/27/2025 05:32:55 PMWith LSU set up in good field position following PJ Woodland’s interception, the Tigers were only able to manage 16 yards on six plays, but kicker Damian Ramos – even after a delay of game – stepped up again when he hit on the 48-yard attempt to cut into the Ole Miss lead, once again. With less than a minute left in the third quarter, Ole Miss led 17-13. The fourth quarter began with Ole Miss at midfield.
LSU gets the interception from a Mississippi native
09/27/2025 05:28:47 PMHattiesburg’s PJ Woodland, LSU’s starter at cornerback opposite Mansoor Delane, came up with a timely interception after the Tigers kicked a field goal to cut the lead to 17-10. The pick gave the Tigers the ball near midfield as the third quarter’s final minutes ticked off the clock.
Ole Miss scores before half, Tigers answer with FG to trim lead
09/27/2025 05:20:59 PMThe Ole Miss offense drove 69 yards in nine plays before halftime to grab a big touchdown before both team’s headed to the locker room. With a 17-7 lead, Ole Miss kicked the ball to the Tigers to start the second half, and after both teams traded possessions that resulted in punts, LSU drove into field goal range and Damian Ramos converted on a 39-yard kick that split the uprights to cut into the lead and make it a one-score game. The Rebels led 17-10 with 6:02 left in the third quarter.
Ole Miss takes the lead in a penalty-filled half
09/27/2025 04:14:42 PM9 penalties for Ole Miss and 6 penalties for LSU all came before the final five minutes in the first half, and the Rebels got the team’s first touchdown after back-to-back pass interference calls on LSU’s defensive backs – one of which wiped out a pick-6 by LSU true freshman cornerback DJ Pickett. Before the touchdown that gave Ole Miss the 10-7 lead in with five minutes until halftime, some notable plays included an interception from LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier while the Tigers were driving to extend the lead and a forced fumble by LSU safety A.J. Haulcy when Ole Miss was in the red zone. LSU linebacker Whit Weeks recovered the fumble in the end zone to keep the Rebels away from points on the drive.
Lane Kiffin’s longest drive as Ole Miss HC ends in a FG
09/27/2025 03:25:12 PMLSU defensive end Patrick Payton batted down the pass from Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss on 3rd-and-Goal to force the Rebels into a field goal, which made the score LSU 7, Ole Miss 3 as the final minute of the first quarter came to an end. The field goal after an 18-play drive – tied for longest of the Lane Kiffin era – was certainly a win for the Tigers after LSU kept the Rebels out of the end zone and held on to the lead headed into the second quarter.
LSU needed just 5 plays on Drive No. 2 to take a 7-0 lead
09/27/2025 03:10:52 PMLSU offensive coordinator Joe Sloan dials up some big plays on the second drive for the offense, and the players delivered. Wide receiver Zavion Thomas sparked it with a 50-yard catch on the first snap. On the fifth snap of the drive, LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier went to tight end Trey’Dez Green in the end zone, and the ball was tipped by former LSU safety and current Ole Miss defensive back Sage Ryan. LSU wide receiver Nic Anderson caught the tipped ball for the touchdown to give the Tigers the 7-0 lead.
LSU makes a change to the starting offensive line
09/27/2025 02:53:53 PMLSU true freshman and Rivals 5-star Carius Curne had played 2 snaps before the win over Southeastern a week ago. The Tigers still made the decision to give Curne his first start. He replaces Weston Davis at right tackle, who had started LSU’s first four games.
LSU starts on defense for the first time all season
09/27/2025 02:48:33 PMLSU was 0-4 on the coin toss this season. The Tigers have gotten the ball first each time, and results haven’t yielded any points. LSU is now 0-5 on the coin toss, but Lane Kiffin chose to receive. LSU’s defense goes on the field first, and the Tigers get the ball after half. The result of the first drive of the game for Ole Miss? LSU’s defense – as the Tigers have so many times this year – force the three-and-out and punt.
LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier looks sharp in warmups before kickoff
09/27/2025 02:30:02 PMNussmeier is going through warmups with full range of motion in his upper body and was getting reps with the receivers on various routes inside the redzone. Nussmeier had been dealing with a torso injury through the first weeks of the season but was sharp last week against Southeastern and is expected to be without restrictions on Saturday evening in this top 15 matchup.
LSU TE Trey’Dez Green makes his return after injury
09/27/2025 02:28:53 PMGreen is on the field with a right knee brace, the same one he wore before the game against Southeastern and what he’s worn throughout the past few weeks since his MCL sprain vs. Louisiana Tech. Green was bouncing around, doing high knees, stretching, and getting loose. Then, he was participating in receiver drills with full pads and going up and high-balling balls with his incredible athleticism. Green was listed as questionable on the injury report, but Brian Kelly was adamant that he would be good to go this week after resting last weekend against the Lions. Now, it appears he’s set to give it a go against the Rebels.
LSU RB Caden Durham is ruled out vs. Ole Miss
09/27/2025 01:51:57 PMLSU starting running back Caden Durham suffered an ankle injury in Week 4’s win over Southeastern, and he was listed as questionable throughout the week. LSU head coach Brian Kelly said it would be a game-time decision, and while Durham traveled with the team and was on the field during initial warmups, he kept his travel outfit on soon after the SEC’s final injury report listed him as “out”. Expect LSU to turn to running backs Ju’Juan Johnson and Harlem Berry, as well as Kaleb Jackson. Wide receiver Zavion Thomas could also see touches out of the backfield, which has become a piece to LSU’s offensive game plan each week through four games.
