It was a very special day in Oxford, as Ole Miss legend Eli Manning had his number retired in the midst of an Ole Miss victory over LSU.
The No. 12 Rebels beat LSU 31-17 in front of a sold-out Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. It was the sixth largest crowd attendance in stadium history with 64,523 fans filling up the seats.
“It seemed like there was a presence on third down, so it was awesome to see,” Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said about the large crowd. “The game was kind of a little bit dead at some points, but I thought the fans were really good today.
