So it turns out that good field position can even help LSU’s offense.
LSU Vs. Mississippi: LSU Offense Holds Serve, Takes Back 35-30 Lead
The Tigers began their short-field drive with two consecutive pass plays, then turned to their ground game to get points, finishing the drive with an option pitch to Michael Ford for 27 yards and six points.
After the touchdown, the game saw its third straight failure on a two-point conversion, as Jordan Jefferson’s scramble couldn’t get any receivers open. LSU leads 35-30, and buried Ole Miss deep with a touchback on the kickoff, thanks to a personal foul penalty after the touchdown run.
This is now the most points LSU has scored against an SEC team this season, and the second-best performance on offense by the Tigers all season. Only their 51-point outburst against Louisiana-Monroe last week — a number that included two defenseive scores — beats today’s tally.
