Numbers stacked against Ole Miss as Rebels head to Death Valley

When Tiger Stadium public address announcer Dan Borne announces to the capacity crowd inside Tiger Stadium that it’s “Saturday night in Death Valley,” that usually spells doom for the opposition. Since 2005, the Tigers are 59-7 in Baton Rouge at night.

Good luck, Ole Miss.

Fifth ranked LSU (4-0, 1-0 SEC) hosts Mississippi Saturday and Ole Miss has actually seen some semblance of success at Tiger Stadium through the years.

We all know about the famous Billy Cannon punt return of 1959 that would catapult Cannon to the Heisman Trophy. Since that Cannon gallop, the Rebels are 10-21-1 against the Tigers under the lights.
