No. 8 Ole Miss defeats No. 7 LSU in Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford

  • Ole Miss defeated LSU 32-24 on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, capping a dramatic comeback attempt by the Tigers with a late defensive stand.
  • The Tigers fell into a 17-0 hole early before trailing 24-7 at halftime, as Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns without committing a turnover.
  • LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt rallied the offense in the second half, completing 16 of 27 passes for 158 yards and rushing for 63 yards while scoring two touchdowns to tie the game early in the fourth quarter.
  • With just over a minute remaining, Leavitt faced 4th-and-goal at the 6-yard line; his pass was tipped and intercepted, sealing the win for the Rebels as LSU had run out of timeouts.
  • LSU head coach Lane Kiffin, returning to his former stadium for the first time since joining LSU in 2025, said, 'At the end, we couldn't finish,' acknowledging his team's inability to execute defensively and offensively.
