The Ole Miss football team’s blowout victory over the winless New Mexico State Aggies on Saturday was a welcome sight after three straight SEC losses, but celebrations this week will run short as they shift their focus to the top-ranked offensive LSU juggernaut.
LSU has been among the biggest surprises of the season on the offensive side of the ball. Traditionally a run-heavy attack with old-school philosophies, the Tigers have brought their playbook into the 21st century with the help of Joe Burrow and a handful of extremely talented receivers.
“This is why you coach. This is why you play, to be in games like this,” head coach Matt Luke said in a Monday press conference.
