The defenses rested on Saturday when LSU played Ole Miss in SEC action.
And though it took a stop by Ole Miss as the Tigers attempted a last-gasp scoring drive, the final of 55-49 says it all.
Ole Miss outlasted LSU in a game that saw 1,343 yards of total offense.
Ole Miss had 706, going over 300 on the ground and in the air.
Ole Miss overcame a 49-40 deficit by scoring the last 15 points on a Jaxson Dart pass and run by the quarterback. For good measure, Ole Miss added a 2-point conversion.
Ole Miss scoring there is a great thing for LSU. Only way they were going to have a chance to win this game. 39 seconds and 2 timeouts. Jayden Daniels has a huge moment. pic.twitter.com/WeZ7G1Hc4c
