The No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels defeated the No. 4 LSU Tigers on Saturday by a score of 24-19 in a classic Southeastern Conference showdown.

After LSU scored a late touchdown with five minutes left in the game to cut it down to 24-19, but Ole Miss stopped the two-point conversion.

The Rebels were able to successfully run out the clock en route to their fifth win of the year with one last pass to Dae'Quan Wright.

Ole Miss' Senior finished the game with 66 yards on four receptions, making it four straight games with at least 60 receiving yards this season.

LSU got on the board first to start the game with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Garrett Nussmeier to Nic Anderson to cap off a 67-yard drive. 

It would go on to be the Tigers' only score of the first half. 

Ole Miss responded to their touchdown with a whopping 18-play, 83-yard drive but ultimately ended up with a field goal to cut the lead to 7-3. 

After a Nussmeir interception just 44 seconds into the second quarter, LSU and Ole Miss exchanged punts before the Tigers forced a fumble, which also resulted in a punt. 

This time, Ole Miss made sure to capitalize with a 15-yard touchdown run from Kewan Lacy to cap off a 70-yard drive that took only five plays thanks to a pair of defensive pass interference calls on LSU. 

After LSU was forced to punt yet again, Ole Miss extended their lead before heading into the locker rooms.

Trinidad Chambliss completed a two-yard touchdown pass to Cayden Lee, giving Ole Miss the commanding 17-7 lead at the half. 

The third quarter saw nothing more than a pair of field goals from LSU to tighten the lead to 17-13, the second field goal coming as a result of an LSU interception of Chambliss. 

Ole Miss went up 24-13 to start the fourth quarter thanks to a Logan Diggs rushing touchdown. 

From there, LSU tried to mount a comeback, but failed in the end. They now fall to 4-1 on the season and 1-1 in the SEC. Ole Miss improves to 5-0 and 3-0 in the SEC. 

Ole Miss posted 480 yards of total offence to LSU's 254. Both teams committed a combined 21 penalties (14 from Ole Miss).

Chambliss finished the game with 358 total yards (314 passing) with one passing touchdown and one interception. Lacy led all rushers with 87 yards on 23 attempts, while not a single LSU player rushed for more than 25 yards. 

The Rebels will be hosting Washington State on October 11th, while LSU heads back home to take on South Carolina the same day.
