Five most memorable games in Ole Miss-LSU football history

2009: Ole Miss vs. #8 LSU

Coming off a surprisingly tight win over Louisiana Tech, the eighth ranked LSU football team came limping into Oxford to try to take one from the Rebels. After getting two strong wins in a row following a loss to Auburn, Ole Miss was getting hot at the right time.

In a game that featured much more scoring than the previous two mentioned, the first half ended with LSU up 17-15. It was an exciting half that included a Patrick Peterson blocked kick returned for a touchdown.

Having terrorized LSU for the entire game, Ole Miss running back Dexter McCluster threw to a wide open Shay Hodge to take the lead early in the fourth quarter. After adding a field goal, the Rebels took a 25-17 lead late into the fourth.

LSU not done yet

LSU fought back, as Jordan Jefferson hit Rueben Randle for a touchdown. However, the two-point conversion was denied by the Rebels. LSU then proceeded to attempt an onside kick and recovered.

On 3rd and 19, Stevan Ridley lost 7 yards on a pass from Jefferson and was tackled with 26 seconds to go. Les Miles than proceeded to allow 17 seconds to run off before calling his last timeout.

On 4th and 26, Jefferson miraculously found Terrance Toliver on a heave late with one second remaining on the clock. Les Miles told Jefferson to spike it, but the clock ran out as Jefferson was spiking the ball.

Truly, this was one of the darkest days for the Les Miles led LSU football team.
