By late October, things were trending up for LSU. The offense hadn’t found a footing, but the team rallied to win in Gainesville the week after taking it on the chin at Auburn.

After dismantling Kentucky, LSU looked to be finding itself, winding up back in the top 25 as they welcomed #3 Ole Miss into town.

It’s easy to forget the peaks of Ole Miss in the Freeze era due to the precipitous decline and his subsequent firing for misconduct, but 2013 Ole Miss sprung an upset on then #6 LSU and the 2014 team beat Alabama AND a then highly ranked Texas A&M team, to jump their way up to no. 3 nationally.
