Ole Miss lost hard to LSU on Saturday night, 40-24. It was ugly, it was dirty, and it was totally expected.
Things went quite bad right from the start, with LSU throwing together a short drive that eventually fizzled out in the red zone and ended with a field goal. Ole Miss answered with a field goal of their own, then LSU picked up a touchdown on the ensuing drive. Ineptitude in the Rebs’ run defense allowed some pretty sizable breaks for the Tigers’ backfield, and that really was the story of the night.
Further, and far more concerning, Shea Patterson left the game late in the second quarter after apparently tweaking his knee on a long downfield pass that was intercepted.
