Usually it's LSU that ends up with the bizarre and strange Les Miles-ish type finish. But not on Saturday night.
#24 LSU upset #3 Ole Miss after one of the strangest finishes this season.
The Tigers were up by 3, 10-7 with less than 2 minutes to go when Ole Miss got the ball. All Rebel QB Bo Wallace had to do was get the ball downfield far enough to get at least a field goal to get the tie and put the game in overtime.
And Wallace moved his team down the field, albeit with the help bad pass interference penalty against LSU. He got them close enough for a potential 42-yard kick to tie the game.
That's when the chaos ensued.
Ole Miss couldn't decide what to do with :09 left and got a delay of game penalty, which backed up the kick 5 yards.
Still makable for most SEC kickers. Gary Wunderlich, the kicker is fairly accurate, but not with a big leg. His long on the season 46.
Instead, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze decided to run another play, it was 3rd down. Wallace dropped back with instructions to either throw a quick hitter to get closer for Wunderlich or throw the ball into the stands.
Wallace tried to throw it to a double covered receiver in the end zone.
It was intercepted. Game over, LSU wins.
Perhaps the only offensive highlight of the game--Leonard Fournette ran for 113 yards for LSU, who also turned the ball over 4 times.
The win moves the Tigers to 7-2 overall, 3-2 in the SEC. Ole Miss drops to 7-1, 4-1 in the SEC.
