Schule’s NCAAF Game of the Year – LSU vs. Ole Miss November 21, 2015
This is a 10* play on the Ole Miss Rebels.
The LSU Tigers are no longer in the hunt for the playoffs after taking a beating in a home loss to Arkansas last week. It was their second loss of the season, and I think it’s fair to say that the Tigers have been exposed. During their 7-0 run, they racked up a lot of wins against inferior opponents. They beat Florida at home, scoring on a trick play late in the game to escape with a 35-28 victory.
Heisman hopeful Leonard Fournette has failed to run for 100 yards in both games against Alabama and Arkansas, and quarterback Brandon Harris threw as many picks (2) as TDs in the two games. The Tigers are on the road at Ole Miss this week, and this Rebels defense is at least as good as either of it’s previous two opponents. Ole Miss is coming off a bye week, and they’ve won 11 of their last 13 home games. During that span they have beaten a pair of Top 5 teams (#3 Alabama & #4 Mississippi State). The two games that they lost were decided under extremely extraordinary circumstances.
Last year’s loss to #3 Auburn saw star wideout Laquan Treadwell suffer a broken leg on a play that appeared to be the go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter. Treadwell fumbled the ball after the injury occurred, and after video review the TD came off the board. Then two weeks ago the Razorbacks executed a desperation play that involved a controversial lateral on 4th and 25 that lead to a 53-52 Arkansas victory.
“If you can’t refocus after a bye week and get amped up for the next game then you’re playing the wrong sport,” Rebels quarterback Chad Kelly said. “I know our guys are ready to get back and ready to hit somebody.”
Kelly is the SEC’s leading passer, with 3,224 yards and 23 TDs. I think Mississippi is going to be highly motivated and well rested, which should spell trouble for an LSU team that is rumored to be on the verge of firing Les Miles.
Take MISS.
