LSU loses to Ole Miss 38-17

UPD Chief Tim Potts said, “We do not tolerate violent behavior on our campus, and our request for an independent FBI investigation should make it clear that we are taking this situation very seriously”.

“It’s a time where as a coach, you just bury your head and you go to work and coach like there’s no tomorrow”, he said. I think our guys understand that.

The Tigers (7-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) lost their third straight game Saturday, 38-17 at Ole Miss, by double digits for the first time since 1966 and fell out of both the Associated Press and USA Today polls on Sunday afternoon.

LSU has dropped back-to-back games to Alabama and Arkansas and is in a funk offensively but 7 points is too much to give a Tigers team that has won 11 of the last 14 meetings between these two teams.

Rather than fighting for a spot in the final field of four of the College Football Playoff, yesterday the Tigers were reduced to playing to save Les Miles’s job.

Les Miles has donned the headset at LSU for ten years now, winning a national championship in 2007.

Miles has lost back-to-back games for the second straight year.

NEXT: LSU (7-3, 4-3 SEC) closes the season at home Saturday against Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3 SEC) at 6:30 p.m. on the SEC Network.

The police officer involved in an incident during an Ole Miss football game has been suspended with pay, and the FBI has been asked to conduct an independent investigation.

According to The Times-Picayune, The Tiger Athletic Foundation is prepared to pay the $15 million buyout clause in Miles’ contract that would be trigged by LSU terminating Miles before January 1.

When asked Monday about the rumors, Fisher told media in Florida he does not comment about job rumors and “there is no opening” at LSU. A possible retirement after the 2016 season was brought up. With a win against Texas A&M next week, LSU will finish the regular season 9-3.

A video was posted to Facebook by Holly Barnes, who said her husband, Chris was attacked by security and blamed for something that happened a few rows above. Ole Miss has 445 points, surpassing the total of 442 in 2003. “We’ve got two games left”. LSU finished 3-8, and Gerry DiNardo was sacked.

The scoring should come often in this game. Players are not available after Tuesday. We’re deeply disappointed, because we felt we were capable of moving on, but certainly credit goes to Ole Miss.

Miles was seen Saturday walking the sideline while holding an offensive play card – not a rarity.
