Ole Miss Rebels and LSU Tigers will square it off in what could be a very crucial game for both teams as they make their push towards qualifying in the inaugural BCS Championships playoffs at the end of the season at Tiger Stadium.
Money on the Line:
Ole Miss is one of the most surprising stories in college football history, after their incredible jump from 18th ranked football program to one of the major playoff contenders for the BCS Championships through seven undefeated weeks.
Meanwhile, the LSU Tigers took a different path this season, starting their campaign as the 13th ranked football team before free-falling all the way to no.24 following their losses at the hands of no.1 ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs and no.5 ranked Auburn Tigers.
A victory for the Rebels will further solidify their place in the BCS Playoffs with three games remaining in the regular-season after this match, while a loss could be catastrophic to their chances as Baylor and Auburn look to snatch a spot from the outside.
On the other hand, the Tigers may have a slim chance at making into the BCS Playoff, but a victory over a very strong Ole Miss squad will certainly put them back on track.
Players to Watch:
Ole Miss Rebels: Quarterback Bo Wallace (1,899 passing yards with 17 TDs and six interceptions), running back Jaylen Walton (347 rushing yards with four rushing touchdowns).
LSU Tigers: Quarterback Anthony Jennings (1,048 passing yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions), running back Leonard Fournette (544 rushing yards with seven TDs).
Quotes to Ponder:
"I think there are talented guys in their secondary that anticipate the ball and can make plays. I just think the combination of scheme and players make a difference for them," LSU head coach Les Miles on the Rebels' almost impregnable defense.
