Early in Saturday’s win over Ole Miss, LSU’s defense came up with a tremendous stop that ultimately proved to be monumental in a game that went to overtime.
With the Rebels driving late in the first quarter on their third drive of the game after missing a field goal on the previous possession, they found themselves in scoring range again. But on fourth and one from the four-yard line, LSU’s [autotag]Bradyn Swinson[/autotag] came up with what he called the biggest play of his career.
He sniffed out a direct snap to running back Henry Parrish Jr., stopping the play in the backfield to hold Ole Miss scoreless. Even more impressively, Swinson said on Wednesday that he never actually heard the play call before his stop.
“Didn’t get the call, but you’ve just got to check ‘whoop ass’ sometimes and go get the ball,” Swinson said.
Swinson has been a breakout star for the Tigers this season. The Oregon transfer played only a rotational role for LSU last season, but he’s been very impactful this fall and already has seven sacks through six games, five more than he totaled in 2023.
