All eyes will be on the Top-15 matchup in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night with the No. 9 ranked Ole Miss Rebels heading to Baton Rouge for an SEC showdown against No. 13 LSU.

It'll be another Brian Kelly and Lane Kiffin battle with the pair of savvy head coaches looking to duel it out in a prime time clash on ABC.

After a shootout in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium a season ago, the Bayou Bengals averaged 6.3 yards per play on their way to putting up 637 yards of total offense, but ultimately came up short against the Rebels down the stretch.

Now, it's about looking to play complementary football in Death Valley in Week 7 with the Rebels heading to town.

Kelly and Co. will look to avoid a "shootout" once again and will have the help of a new-look LSU defense under coordinator Blake Baker. The Tigers have allowed over 30 points just once this season and will look to dial up a savvy game plan for the Rebels this weekend.
