This Saturday night, Ole Miss plays LSU in Baton Rouge. Though the Tigers aren’t as good as their lofty No. 5 ranking and their offense has struggled statistically, Coach O’s bunch is expected to roll through an awful Ole Miss defense. Vegas favors LSU by two touchdowns. It will probably not be an entertaining game.
There have been moments over the past 15 years, however, when this rivalry defined the SEC West race. That was never more true than 2003.
The lead-up to the 2003 LSU-Ole Miss game in 2003 was officially dubbed “Win the West Week” in Oxford, Miss.
