The SEC’s most hyped regular season game in years will in all likelihood feature quarterbacks who began their careers at Michigan State and Ferris State, slinging passes under the watchful eyes of a (relatively recent) former Florida Atlantic coach and a coach who got his job in the middle of a CFP race.
In other words: To sketch out the conditions for LSU’s visit to Ole Miss, you would need to make some bold predictions. That Tigers quarterback Sam Leavitt would show so much promise in leading Arizona State to a Big 12 title in 2024. That Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss would flawlessly translate his game from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to the SEC. That LSU’s Lane Kiffin would win in spite of his penchant for self-sabotage; that Ole Miss’s Pete Golding would take the reins and not miss a beat.
