LSU's defense had been challenged.
After giving up 330 yards to J'Mar Smith and Louisiana Tech, the Tigers had a test with Ole Miss coming to town.
The Rebels came into Tiger Stadium with the SEC's top passing attack and the No. 10 ranked passing offense in the country. Quarterback Jordan Ta'amu had thrown for 1,392 yards and 10 touchdowns in the first four games.
But LSU set the tone early on how Ta'amu's night was going to go. On the second play of the night, safety Grant Delpit picked off a deep pass to the outside.
