The LSU Tigers pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2020 college football season last week by defeating No. 6 Florida on the road. 

The LSU Tigers pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2020 college football season last week by defeating No. 6 Florida on the road.

The defending national champions were big underdogs last week; however, the undermanned Tigers played one of their more complete games of the season in the upset.

Freshman quarterback Max Johnson was one of the heroes for LSU, making his first career start. Johnson passed for three touchdowns and did not turn the ball over.

Next up for the 4-5 Tigers is Ole Miss. And, after being massive underdogs in each of the last two weeks, the Tigers are slight favorites, according to BetMGM, The King of Sportsbooks.

The Rebels have had two of their last three games canceled due to COVID-19.

New Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin has the Rebels’ offense flying high in his first season and will present another big challenge to LSU’s beleaguered defensive coordinator Bo Pelini.

Here is a look at the opening lines for this week’s SEC showdown.
