Whatever the oddsmakers predict will happen

No. 13 LSU will return to Death Valley on Oct. 12 for a showdown against the Ole Miss Rebels to open intense Southeastern Conference play.

Brian Kelly and Co. will enter the contest with a record of 4-1 (1-0) after picking up their fourth straight win over South Alabama last Saturday behind a great performance from true freshman running back Caden Durham.

The Tigers lost to USC in Week 1, but the trend continues to trend in the right direction after wins over Nicholls State, South Carolina, UCLA and South Alabama.

Looking forward, the game against Ole Miss will be the Tigers' only home game in October, as LSU faces Arkansas on October 19th and Texas A&M follows on October 26th in College Station to close out the month.

Kelly's program will continue to use the open date this week to recover and begin game preparation for a match against Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss Rebels.
