Jayden Daniels ran for three touchdowns and passed for two scores, and LSU roared back from an early two-touchdown deficit to hand No. 7 Mississippi its first loss this season, 45-20 on Saturday.
Josh Williams ran 1 yard for the Tigers’ final TD late in the fourth quarter.
Nearly everything went right for LSU in the second half. Even linebacker Harold Perkins Jr.‘s unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after a third-down stop at the Rebels’ 15-yard line early in the fourth quarter couldn’t turn the tide in the Rebels’ favor. Down 11 points at the time, Ole Miss wound up having to punt anyway minutes later.
The Tigers then scored two touchdowns to tie it. Daniels hit Jaray Jenkins with 34-yard scoring pass and Daniels capped the Tigers’ next possession by keeping the ball on a read-option run from the 3.ADVERTISEMENT But LSU’s defense battered Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart in the second half. The Rebels QB finished 19 of 34 for 284 yards. He was intercepted in the LSU end zone by Joe Foucha in the third quarter on a pass thrown under pressure from linebacker Micah Baskerville.Mississippi: Oddsmakers clearly had been unimpressed with Ole Miss’ schedule through its first seven games, and also by the Rebels’ inability to quickly put away struggling Auburn last week.
LSU: First-year coach Brian Kelly has the Tigers playing their best football on the heels of what could have been a demoralizing 40-13 loss at home to No. 3 Tennessee three weeks ago. LSU also again showed its resolve in winning for the third time this year after trailing by 13 or more in conference play.LSU is off next weekend before hosting No. 6 Alabama on Nov. 5.More AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://twitter.com/ap_top25.
