The Rebels have been able to score 35.4 points per game this season while only giving up 10.6 points per game. Ole Miss Quarterback Bo Wallace has thrown for 1,899 yards this season with 17 touchdowns and just six picks.

LSU was able to dominate Kentucky over the weekend for their second straight win. In that 41-3 victory, they rushed for 303 yards while holding Kentucky's offense to just 217 total yards. They did commit 80 yards worth of penalties in that game, but they made up for it by going 7-for-13 on third down.

Running back Leonard Fournette has averaged five yards per carry this season for 544 yards and seven touchdowns.
