Ole Miss at LSU: How to watch, live stream, start time, TV channel

BATON ROUGE, La. –  No. 8 Ole Miss enters perhaps its toughest test of the season tonight when the Rebels take the field against No. 10 LSU in Baton Rouge. This game could have huge implications with who makes the College Football Playoffs this season as both teams will likely be fighting for a spot when the end of the season arrives.

In case you missed it, here is the updated injury/availability report for the Rebels as of Friday night.  An updated list will be released 90 minutes before kickoff, so check back for that. On Friday’s list, wide receiver Tre Harris was upgraded from ‘questionable’ to ‘probable,’ so that is huge news for the Rebels if he is available to play.

My prediction

While many will wax on about how the Rebels have not won in Death Valley since 2008, I am going to go out on a limb here and say the Ole Miss defense will come to play and the vaunted “crowd noise” of Tiger Stadium will only fire up Pete Golding’s unit more. Look for Walter Nolen and Jared Ivey to have huge days today. Offensively, might we see running back Ulysses Bentley IV? If we do, I suspect he will be eager to show us what we’ve been missing. I also expect Jaxson Dart to rebound from a couple of tough outings the last two games and get back to what is more normal for him. Look for Juice Wells to have a big game today…..and, of course, if Tre Harris is good to go, he will be a factor.

Score prediction: Ole Miss 34, LSU 24
