Here are the highest-graded players and top takeaways from the Tigers’ 38-21 win over the Rebels.
LSU Tigers
Quarterback grade: Danny Etling, 52.6
Etling’s stat line doesn’t look too bad, but once again he failed to challenge the opposing defense downfield. Despite three coverage busts by the Ole Miss defense in the first half, Etling completed just four of the 10 passes he attempted travelling 10 yards or further downfield. On throws 20 yards or more downfield he completed just one, for a wide-open touchdown after one of those coverage busts.
