Locked On SEC Picks LSU 38-23 | I Think He's Wrong And Here's Why

Every preview of LSU–Ole Miss has been about Lane Kiffin walking back into Oxford. That's not the question. The question is a number Chris Gordy brought onto the show: through two games LSU ranks first in the SEC in yards allowed, and Ole Miss ranks dead last. The Ole Miss half of that is real — Louisville got twelve explosive plays for 340 yards. But LSU's half was built against a Clemson team that then scored one touchdown against Georgia Southern, and a Louisiana Tech team that isn't a measuring stick. One of these defenses has already been exposed and knows what to fix. The other one finds out live. Two days to LSU. Steven Willis is joined by Chris Gordy of Locked On SEC for the crossover, and they end up in completely different places — Willis on Ole Miss 35-31, Gordy on LSU 38-23. In between: the coin-toss decision neither of them could settle, the three offensive wrinkles Ole Miss hasn't put on tape yet, the third receiver who decides this thing, and why both hosts think the whole game comes down to about four plays nobody can name in advance.
