Since that loss, LSU has been impressive and is fighting to get back into the SEC and national championship picture. In week 4, the Tigers were heavily favored against the inconsistent Arkansas Razorbacks.

LSU has a record of 3-1 straight up, 2-2 against the spread, and 4-0 over/under the total. LSU ranks 7th for total offense, 10th for passing, 36th for rushing, and 10th for scoring.

LSU QB Daniels finished with 320 yards and four touchdowns passing. At the same time, Damian Ramos kicked a 20-yard field goal with 5 seconds left to lift LSU to a win over Arkansas. It was the fourth straight year that just three points decided the annual rivalry.
Daniels led LSU to 31 points in the final 31 minutes. He hit Brian Thomas for a second 49-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Subsequently, he found top receiver Malik Nabers for touchdowns of 8 and 20-yard scores after that.
In sum, Thomas finished with 133 yards receiving on five catches. Nabers had eight receptions for 130 yards. While Logan Diggs, a former Notre Dame player under Kelly who transferred this year, rushed for 97 yards on 14 carries.
Ole Miss Rebels Team Overview
Last game, the Ole Miss Rebels lost 24-10 against the Alabama Crimson Tide as 6.5-point road dogs. The game went under the offshore bookmaker total of 56. Ole Miss has a record of 3-1 straight up, 3-1 against the spread, and 2-2 over/under the total. Ole Miss ranks 21st for total offense, 13th for passing, 77th for rushing, and 12th for scoring.

Overall, the result was Alabama’s eighth straight win over Ole Miss. However, it was not the kind of performance that assuaged concerns about the shaky offensive play. Alabama’s eight-year streak in the top 10 of the AP poll ended this week. Jaxson Dart was 20-of-35 passing for 244 yards with an interception on a deep ball near the goal line. At the same time, Dayton Wade had five catches for 88 yards.
Ole Miss star Quinshon Judkins had 13 carries for 56 yards. The Rebel offense had been prolific against lesser competition. But head coach and offensive mastermind Lane Kiffin couldn’t solve the Alabama defense or protect Dart.
