Ole Miss and LSU have played football against each other 105 times. Just one of those meetings was a non-regular season contest: the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day of 1960, when Ole Miss prevailed, 21-0. The Rebs were at the time ranked No. 2, the Tigers No. 3, and LSU had beaten Ole Miss, 7-3, in the regular season.
Ole Miss’ defensive effort that day may have been the best showing in the history of bowl games. They held LSU to 74 total yards, -15 yards rushing, and never allowed the Tigers inside their own 38-yard line.
