Ole Miss Set to Shock LSU in Unforgettable Showdown — Here’s Why No One Sees It Coming – Page 3

LSU is the fourth-ranked program in the country, and they are 4-0 for the season. I’ve mentioned this before, but early-season ranks mean very little. Sure, it is nice for the team, and you’d rather be ranked than not. However, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t mean that just because you’re ranked higher, you’re going to win games. LSU has been interesting in its wins this season. They opened with a tough enough road game against Clemson and took them down 17-10. In the next game, they faced Louisiana Tech and only beat them 23-7. That’s a game you’d expect them to truly blow out their opponent. They might’ve been playing conservatively so they could take down Florida, who they played the following week and dropped them 20-10. Last week was a dominant performance, beating South East Louisiana 56-10. Garrett Nussmeier has been slinging the ball, racking up 962 passing yards with six touchdowns, but he does have two interceptions as well. The team has a fairly balanced attack, finding ways to pound the ball on the ground and also choosing the right opportunity to attack through the air.
