18: Number of tackles in the Pentecost weeks

I suppose we'll never know, but I'm confident LSU won't win on Saturday night if the targeted decision on Weeks is upheld and he's ejected from the game. Weeks was a tackling machine on Saturday night, and if he puts up more individual performances like this, his 2024 season will be remembered in the same way as Devin White's 2018, Damone Clark's 2021 or Kevin Minters' 2012.

3: Number of missed scoring opportunities by Ole Miss in the first quarter

It takes two to cause an upset, and Ole Miss was a more than willing dance partner in this particular tango.

Tre Harris dropped an 80-yard touchdown on Ole Miss' first offensive possession; Caden Davis missed a 32-yard field goal on his second possession; and Henry Parrish was blocked on Ole Miss' third possession on 4th-and-1 at the LSU four-yard line. Was Ole Miss unlucky or did LSU have its own luck? Yes.

43: Mason Taylor receiving yards in the 4th quarter

All of Taylor's 43 yards came in the fourth quarter. You have to give Ole Miss' defense credit because heading into the fourth, Taylor had caught two passes for zero yards, but he found a way to get in the game when it mattered most.

On 4th-and-6, Taylor caught a pass for 14 yards to sustain the game-winning drive. On a 3rd-and-10, Nussmeier kept the play alive with his feet, finding Taylor for 19 yards, and if not for his elbow landing, Taylor would have scored the game-winning touchdown right there. He added another 10 yards to put LSU just out of the red zone with 50 seconds left in regulation. Kyren Lacy may forever be remembered for his game-winning touchdown in overtime, but that game never happened receives to OT if Mason Taylor doesn't make three clutch plays.

50%: Ole Miss red zone percentage

Ole Miss entered the red zone six times Saturday night and scored on just three of those possessions. More importantly, of those six red zone possessions, only one resulted in a touchdown. Give Blake Baker all the credit in the world. His defense may have bent a few times, but it never broke. LSU's defense never allowed Ole Miss to score that knockout touchdown, and it allowed the offense to hang in there and get things going when it mattered most.

14: Garrett Nussmeier's longest rush

JAYDEN DANIELS IS THAT YOU?????

But seriously, that's what we asked Nuss to do in six games this year. If there is a running track, take it. And if Joe Sloan is going to insist on keeping those option plays in the playbook, then Nuss has receive to stay at least once or twice per game to keep the opposing defense honest. If the entire stadium knows that Josh Williams, Caden Durham or Kaleb Jackson will get the ball on these plays, I guarantee the defense knows that too.

It's ironic that we begged Jayden Daniels to use his legs less and push the ball down the field in 2022, only to have the exact opposite mentality with Nussmeier two years later. He'll never be the runner that Daniels is, but Nuss needs to add that dimension to his game.

0: Number of seconds LSU led on Saturday

LSU dodged three shots in the first quarter and made the score 0-0 after the first 15 minutes, never led again in the remaining 45 minutes and… Despite it walked away with the victory. Sometimes it's the breaks.
