Ole Miss defensive back Wydett Williams intercepted LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier early in the 2nd quarter, giving the Rebels the ball. Ole Miss didn’t do much with it though, moving the ball out of the shadow of its own endzone before the drive fizzled.

Williams recovered a key fumble against Arkansas to seal the win and now is involved in a key stop for the Ole Miss defense.

With Ole Miss down 7-3, the offense needs to take advantage of opportunities like those. Head coach Lane Kiffin said this week that the Tigers have stepped it up in the portal for their defense.

“They’ve done a great job and Brian Kelly spoke about how they spent a lot of money in the portal this time around and it’s paid off, like for most people,” Kiffin said Wednesday. “I think the numbers were Miami, Texas Tech and LSU spent the most money in the portal and look how they’re playing. Usually pays off well and they’ve done well.

“It’s an unusual Louisiana defense. You have one starter from Louisiana. Just shows where three of their starters on D-line and three of the four in the secondary are portal guys. Just different than the old ways of building. Lot of credit to them for embracing the portal. Now they’re by far the most-talented defense since we’ve been here playing them. Not even close.”
