KEY STATS AND ANALYSIS

So far, the Rebels are averaging 40.86 points per game on offense, which is good for 15th most
in college football and will be facing off against an LSU defense that is 35th in points allowed
but have allowed opponents to convert on 3rd down at a rate higher than the NCAA average in just
3 of their games.

This week, Ole Miss may look to throw the ball more than they have, as they are below the NCAA
average in pass attempts per game, but rank well in yards per completion. In addition, they
should have plenty of time to work the ball down the field, with LSU ranking just 69th in sacks
per contest.

So far, Ole Miss has relied heavily on the ground game, as they rank 7th in attempts per game,
with an average of 47.14. This heavy usage, has led to an average of 271.43 rush yards per game,
placing them 3rd in the NCAA. This week, the Rebels will be facing a LSU defense ranked 63rd in
rush yards allowed per game. This year, they have averaged 272.33 yards per game when facing
defenses ranked outside the top 50.

The Rebels will look to once again play well defensively, as they are currently 16th in points
allowed at 17.29 points per game allowed.

In order for the Tigers to find success on offense this week, they will have to continue
converting third downs at a high rate, as they are currently 18th in college football at 54.0%.
However, they will need to be on top of their game vs one of the NCAA’s top scoring defenses.

Although the Tigers have turned to the passing attack at a below-average rate this season,
they have an opportunity to find success through the air vs a Ole Miss defense allowing teams to
complete passes at a rate of 58.58%.

This season, the LSU offense is averaging 37.14 attempts per game. With these opportunites,
they have an average of 173.43 yards per contest, good for 49th in the NCAA. This week, the
Tigers will be facing an Ole Miss defense that is ranked 87th in rush yards allowed per game. So
far, they are averaging 193.17 yards per game when facing defenses ranked outside the top 50.
