The better team did not win on Saturday. Ole Miss football had not played a football game in 21 days prior to its game against LSU and it showed. Even with the mishaps, turnovers and torrential downpour, the Rebels had every chance to win the game and should have.
Here are the five major takeaways from a game that didn’t really matter but really did:
The defense wasn’t a complete and total failure, it just wasn’t a success.
LSU put up 593 yards, scored 53 points and turned the ball over just one time.
