Ole Miss beats LSU 55-49
OXFORD, MISS. - Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart threw for 389 yards and four touchdowns as the Rebels marched up and down the field and then held on to beat the LSU Tigers 55-49 in an explosive SEC contest in Oxford.
Quinshon Judkins led the Mississippi running game with 177 yards and a touchdown on 33 carries, on a night when neither defense had much success.
The winning score -- and a two-point conversion -- gave the Rebels a six-point lead with 39 seconds remaining.
LSU reeled off a big play -- a 42-yard pass from Jayden Daniels to Chris Hilton -- to give the Tigers a chance on their final possession.
But penalties and the clock caught up with LSU and they were unable to reach the endzone.
Ole Miss fans stormed the field, meaning a six-figure fine from the SEC is certain to follow.
