‘BULLET CHAMBER’ IN THE
EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille
Leonard Fournette, Derrius Guice set to tag team Ole Miss defense
BY JACOB HAMILTON | @jac0b_hamilt0n
THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES
Derrius Guice is no longer a secret in college football. Leonard Fournette’s 2015 Heisman campaign made it possible to overlook the 5-foot-11, 212-pound pinball during his freshman season, despite his 8.5 yard per carry statline, a 161yard performance and a 50-yard end-around touchdown showcasing his breakaway speed on national TV. Junior fullback J.D. Moore said Guice’s next-level talent has always been at LSU’s disposal — Fournette’s ailing ankle just opened the door for him to seize the day and put his name on the map. And carpe diem he has. The sophomore leads the nation with 9.1 yards per carry, more than
half a yard more than the No. 2 back, and his resume entering this weekend features back-toback games with 163 and 162 yards with five touchdowns. For Moore, that translates to frustration for opposing defenses, because whether Fournette is injured or taking a breather, they never have a break from defending one of the country’s most dynamic running backs. “There is no relaxation from a defender’s standpoint now,” Moore said. “We wouldn’t ideally want to have Leonard sit out these games. [But] it’s been effective for us to have Darrel and Derrius run the way they have so that when he comes back, he’ll be another bullet in the chamber.” That bullet will be back in

Tigers away for weekend tournament
BY CHRIS CALDARERA @Caldarera_TDR At the tail end of the fall season, LSU’s men’s golf team is blazing a hot trail, while the women’s team has its eyes on reentering national prominence. The men’s team is set to compete in The Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate beginning Friday, while the women’s team will tee off for the final time this fall in the Mary S. Kauth Invitational in San Antonio on Sunday. The second-ranked LSU’s men’s golf team was victorious in its two previous tournaments, winning the Maui Jim Intercollegiate and David Toms Intercollegiate. “It’s easy to get complacent when you experience early success, but we have to keep our focus on the next tournament,” said sophomore Sam Burns. “Focus is key when you’re going up against good competition.” The Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate will feature 11 teams ranked in the top 25 of the Golfweek/ Sagarin Performance Index, including: No. 3 Oklahoma State, No. 4 Auburn, No. 7 Wake Forest, No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 13 Stanford and No. 20 Southern California.

Orgeron’s future began after disappointing past at Ole Miss LSU coach reflects on changes since stint at Ole Miss BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_
ZOE GEAUTHREAUX / The Daily Reveille
LSU interim head coach Ed Orgeron breaks from a brief huddle during a timeout on Oct. 15 during the Tigers’ 45-10 victory against the Golden Eagles at Tiger Stadium.
LSU junior quarterback Danny Etling and interim coach Ed Orgeron didn’t see it coming. As Etling warmed up on the field before the Tigers romped Southern Miss 45-10 Saturday, the 55-year-old coach asked Etling a revealing question. “What’s up, scout team quarterback?” Orgeron said to Etling. “Who would’ve thought this would happen a year ago?” the coach added. Etling, who is from Terre Haute, Indiana, transferred from Purdue University in search of a fresh start and is now LSU’s starting quarterback beside Orgeron, a coach who’s been through the highs and lows and is now the man in charge — on an interim basis — for
LSU’s football team. Orgeron is three weeks deep as head man at LSU, and his staff has already made history. In his first game versus Missouri, the Tigers tallied 634 yards of total offense — a record against a Southeastern Conference opponent. Orgeron is the first coach in LSU football history to win his first two games by more than 30 points or more. Orgeron, a former Ole Miss head coach, has “switched up” the culture around LSU’s facility — practices are shorter and themed. He’s also learned from mishaps and mistakes during his short stint as the Rebels’ coach. “I tried to change the things that I normally would do as a defensive line coach,” he said. “Those techniques that I used to create some of the best defensive lines in the country did not work as a head coach. But there were applauders of a defensive line coach. I had to get out of that mode and get more into the head
coach and delegate and not be the hard butt on the staff.” Now, everything has come full circle for Orgeron. The Louisiana native is back at LSU where he walked on as a player before eventually leaving the team because he was homesick. The gauntlet of facing five-straight ranked opponents with a combined record of 26-6, begins with a revisit from his former employer: Ole Miss. The past is the past, Orgeron said. His 10-25 record as a Rebel is nothing to reminisce about. “I don’t have many memories of that place that I want to remember,” the Tigers’ coach said. “I kind of just let it go, and I moved forward, and I’m glad to be an LSU Tiger, I tell you that.” Fresh off of a seven-year stint at the University of Southern California, the then-43-year-old Orgeron accepted a job as the Rebels’ head coach.

LSU University College’s Ronald E. McNair Research Scholars program is accepting applications for its 2017 cohort. The McNair Research Scholars program is an initiative aimed at providing undergraduate research internships and graduate school application assistance for students that are the first in their families to graduate from college or that need financial help and come from an ethnic group that is underrepresented in graduate school. The ideal candidate is a sophomore with a 3.0 GPA or higher who is interested in going to graduate school and conducting research or who is involved in a research lab that could use extra funding and help preparing for graduate school. Matthew Johnson, a University alumnus in biological sciences and a recipient of the McNair Research Scholars program, said it was a big help for getting into graduate school. “The McNair Research Scholars program has been a great opportunity to get into undergraduate research.

LSU alumna Jenee Slocum takes over Reilly Center BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ As of Monday, the LSU Manship School of Mass Communication Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs has a new director, Jenee Slocum. After most recently worked as policy director of the Louisiana Budget Project, Slocum has decided to return to her alma mater. Slocum is an alumna of the University’s Manship School of Mass Communication and served as Student Government
president during her time as a student. “My background is really varied,” Slocum said. “I’ve, throughout life, really followed my passions.” Slocum started her professional career at the University, beginning as a student leader. Slocum said this position peaked her interest into what the purpose of universities is, how that purpose relates to access for individuals and how it creates future opportunities. After completing her undergraduate degree, Slocum attended graduate school,
obtaining both her master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her pathway into access to higher education began at LSU, and Slocum’s opportunity to research abroad in graduate school took her to Honduras, Argentina and Brazil. “[I] happened to see some of my friends and former colleagues as a student at LSU and they were working in the states,” Slocum said. “I got the opportunity to come back here and work at the Department of Economic Development, the Workforce Commission and
now I’m back at LSU.” According to the Reilly Center’s website, its mission “is to generate thoughtful programs, dialogue and research about mass communication and its many faceted relationships with social, economic and political issues.” From her perspective, Slocum said the Reilly Center is meant to be a connector and a promoter. This involves taking what is happening within the department surrounding public affairs, public policy and

Friday, October 21, 2016 BULLET, from page 3 the chamber for the No. 25 Tigers and No. 23 Rebels matchup on Saturday, said to LSU coach Ed Orgeron. Fournette was seen practicing full-speed on Monday and Tuesday during sessions open to the media and is expected to play for the first time since Sept. 24 when LSU (42, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) faces off against Ole Miss (3-3, 1-1 SEC) at 8 p.m. on Saturday at Tiger Stadium. “He had a great week of practice,� Orgeron said on The Jim Rome Show Thursday. “We’re looking forward to seeing him on Saturday night.� Fournette’s return spells trouble for the Rebels’ inefficient rush defense. Fournette — the SEC’s active leader in rush yards (3373) and rushing touchdowns (34) — has eclipsed 100 yards both times he’s faced Ole Miss, totalling 221 yards on 48 carries. It’s no longer just Fournette they have to worry about. Last Saturday, Guice became the fastest Tiger to 1,000 career rush yards by attempts with just 113 carries, a benchmark Fournette took 184 carries to reach.
TOURNAMENT, from page 3 LSU coach Chuck Winstead liked the performance of his starting lineup in the Tigers’ last tournament, so he will once again
“Being able to rely on any of them at any time to step in is a huge advantage for us because you never know when a guy’s going to need a breather,� Moore said. “They go for a long run into the redzone, and we have to take him out to give him a rest. We know the next guy up is going to be just as effective. Orgeron said the Rebel defense, which concedes 215.3 yards per game and has allowed 13 rushing touchdowns this season, may have to make extra adjustments to a new wrinkle in the Tiger offense: Fournette and Guice in the backfield at the same time. “You can only imagine,� Moore said. “Put two of their best plays together, and then there’s the possibility of either of those happening. That’s going to be hard to defend.� The duo’s performance against Auburn, Fournette’s last game played this season, may have showcased a microcosm of what the Rebels will see this weekend. A noticeably gimpy Fournette and Guice combined for 163 yards on 19 carries, including Guice breaking off a 52-yard gain on one of his three carries. Though this time around, Guice is expected to receive a
heavier workload in rhythm with Fournette coming off a three-week hiatus. “It will be tough to stop,� junior quarterback Danny Etling said. “When you have two of the best backs in the country in the same backfield, that’s always nice. It will be a nice tandem.� Senior offensive guard Josh Boutte said he knows Ole Miss will respect Fournette and Guice equally after Guice’s breakthrough performances leading up to this weekend, but defending their distinct play styles is a difficulty in itself. While Fournette’s wheelhouse is plowing through defenders into the open space, Guice’s speed affords him a “catch me if you can� style, he said. “They have a bit of a different game, [but] their mentality is the same — they’re not going to let one person tackle them,� Boutte said. The tandem will help Etling, too. “We have such great running backs that guys have to flow up and stop them, so you get a lot more holes to throw into,� Etling said. “And we have great receivers who can make plays after they catch it.�
use Burns, Luis Gagne, Brandon Pierce and Eric Ricard as starters this weekend. “We’ve played well on some really tough courses so far,� Winstead said. “We’re excited to go
and compete against such a great field of teams.� LSU’s women’s golf team is coming off of play in the Lady Tar Heel Invitational where they placed 17th as a team.
ended after the Rebels lost to instate rival Mississippi State. Though, fans — both LSU and Rebel supporters — may remember him for his cameo in the Michael Oher-based football film, “The Blind Side.� “I had more success in ‘The Blind Side’ than my coaching, so it might be that,� Orgeron quipped. Current Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze was part of Orgeron’s staff as an assistant athletic director in 2005 and promoted to assistant coach/recruiting coordinator in 2006. Orgeron gave Freeze his first college coaching opportunity, and Freeze is “forever indebted� to Orgeron and thinks the Rebels fanbase was impatient with Orgeron as head coach. “People are not patient,� Freeze said. “I really think that we had recruited well under Ed here
and it was close to turning a corner. If you look at the athletes that Ed and his staff — our staff — had brought in, we thought we were really close.â€? Freeze and Orgeron remained good friends through the years and spoke as recently as last week about how Orgeron has taken a different approach as a head coach. The matchup with the Rebels isn’t about Orgeron. It’s all about staying undefeated in LSU’s “new season.â€? It’s about LSU and its players, Orgeron’s new club. “Never, never. It’s all about them,â€? Orgeron said. “That’s the furthest from my mind. This is about the LSU Tigers. This is about this football team. This is about a very good opponent coming into Tigers Stadium. It is a rivalry ‌ That was a long time ago. That’s far from my memory, I promise you.
“We didn’t play as well as we could have in our last tournament, so we’re ready to bounce back in this next one,� said assistant coach Alexis Rather. Like the men’s team, the Lady Tigers’ will also face a competitive field that includes No. 12 Arkansas, No. 23 Texas A&M, No. 25 Tennessee, Auburn, Houston, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Old Dominion, Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University, Texas State,
Tulane and the University of Texas-San Antonio. Caroline Nistrup, Kathleen Gallagher, Claudia De Antonio, Sydney Cavin and Lana Hodge will represent LSU’s starting lineup on Sunday. “I think it’s important for us to start the tournament off strong,� Nistrup said. “Ending the fall season on a solid note is a goal for us, and playing well against this field will give us the opportunity to do so.�

RIVER VIEWS & vibes LSU Museum of Art held second installment of three-part after-work event Thursday night BY ALLIE COBB @alliecobbler Visitors flocked to the LSU Museum of Art’s “River Views & Vibes” event on Thursday for a night of classical music and art in a relaxed atmosphere. The event was the second of a three-part series taking place throughout August, October and December. Each installment features different musicians from Magnolia Strings, an ensemble of solo
and chamber musicians. This month’s event featured Duo Cintemani, with Rachel Taratoot Ciraldo on the flute and Nicholas Ciraldo on the guitar. “Duo Cintemani is a husband and wife duo that pairs flute and guitar, which is a pretty unique combination,” LSU MOA communications coordinator Brandi Simmons said. “They [performed] a wide range of music, including pieces from Indian, Romanian and Spanish composers alongside some American works with blues and jazz influences.”

For Somos Bandidos owner and University alumnus Patrick Fellows, business at his new Mexican restaurant on North Boulevard has been booming. “I completely underestimated how successful it would be and how much business we would have,” Fellows said. Fellows, who also operates the Louisiana Marathon, said he was in Boston one day promoting the marathon and noticed all of the Mexican restaurants in the city. After realizing Baton Rouge did not boast as many Mexican restaurants, he decided to open Somos Bandidos. The restaurant opened almost three weeks ago. Fellows said he believes the restaurant is in a great location because of the various events and nightlife activities that take place downtown. Fellows also owns local salad and wraps restaurant FRESHJUNKIE. Somos Bandidos’ current location was one of the original locations for FRESHJUNKIE. “On a Friday night, we were FRESHJUNKIE, and the next Tuesday, we opened as Somos Bandidos,” Fellows said. The significance behind the restaurant’s name comes from Fellows’ roots in fitness, which is a hobby he enjoys with his close friends. He watched an episode of the Netflix series “Narcos” in which one of the characters said “Somos bandidos,” which

Senior trackstar Chanice Chase reflects on Olympic experience BY SEMAJ ATKINSON @SemajAtkinson Now that the 2016 Summer Olympics are over, sports administration senior Chanice Chase looks back on her experience-of-a-lifetime in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For the track and field athlete, representing the University in addition to her native city Toronto, Canada, changed her life. Dreaming of going to the Olympics since she was a little girl, Chase is no stranger to intense training and dedication to her sport. She has a 10 year background in track and has run for the LSU Track and Field team for the past four years.
After extensive preparation, Chase was ready to take the Olympics by storm. “It was my first Olympic games, and my emotions and nerves took over,” she said. Knowing the competition would be tough, Chase put her all into training, dedicating multiple hours every day to physical preparation and a healthy change in diet. She also listened to motivational speakers and music to mentally prepare. As her own greatest competition, Chase sharpened her skills by watching previous track footage of herself. Describing the Olympics as rather stressful, Chase says it was not quite what she
expected. The reality of living out her dreams pressured her throughout the race, during which she experienced a few bouts of severe anxiety. Though some of her Olympic teammates were also from Toronto, she attributes most of her support during the trial to her LSU coaches and teammates. One of Chase’s coaches even traveled to Rio to comfort her. “It felt like a great deal of responsibility to be representing my school because they have had such amazing athletes come from LSU, so to think I was now going to be a part of that

translates to “we are bandits.” Relating “bandits” to his friend group, Fellows latched onto it. He said the name adequately described his group of friends, who are “guys and girls who go out and do things that are not the safe and conservative thing.” He said it amuses him when people ask him what he does for a living and he gets to say he “wear[s] T-shirts and shorts to work and own[s] restaurants.” His Mexican restaurant puts a healthy spin on tacos and burritos with its pulled pork and beef brisket, which take up to 15 hours to make. Somos Bandidos makes everything fresh, and all of the restaurant’s sauces are made from scratch. “I may not be the most traditional chef, but I’m good at coming up with intense sauces,” Fellows said. The restaurant prides itself on using locally owned suppliers. A company in Gonzales makes tortillas for the restaurant. To speed up the long process of making the pulled pork and beef brisket, Fellows said the restaurant is working with another local company to help make the dishes. Even though he is the owner of the restaurant, Fellows said he “picks up trash just like everyone else.” He said he tries to maintain a team atmosphere.. “We try to have a little bit of an edge in a positive way,” he said.
was amazing,” Chase said. “I felt honored.” Although she did not win the gold for her country, Chase still considers it an overall amazing experience in which she was able to compete on a global stage and meet wonderful people. With her family as her greatest motivators, Chase believes her triumph in the face of adversity exemplifies her strength. She said she constantly proves her capabilities to doubters. Since the Olympics, Chase has taken time to recuperate. She said competing in the largest-scale athletic event in the world so soon after a long track season at LSU mentally and physically drained her. Never down for too long, Chase looks forward to her next accomplishment. She will soon prepare to compete on the big stage again at the 2017 Track and Field Championship and hopes to make it to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. As an Olympic veteran, Chase recognizes the new attention she receives but remains humble through it all. “I’ve been able to enjoy the perks that come with it ... being able to enjoy free food and lounges at airports, getting elite member Sky Miles, being recognized at various events and signing autographs and tak-
The duo has performed at the Hampden-Sydney Music Festival, Pelican State Chamber Series and FestivalSouth, according to a LSU MOA news release. They were prizewinners at the 2004 Flute Association Chamber Music Competition and semifinalists at the 2006 Gaettano Zinetti Chamber Music Competition in Italy. They were also featured artists at the Simposio academico de violão, in Curitiba, Brazil. LSU MOA hosts an afterhours event on the third Thursday of each month, with a new theme each time. As part of this tradition, “River Views & Vibes” offers attendees a venue to soak up local art through various media and views of the Mississippi River and the downtown Baton Rouge skyline. “River Views & Vibes” acts as a “wonderful opportunity” to showcase the museum’s current exhibitions, ‘Painting Enlightenment’ and the reinstallation of the permanent collection, ‘Art in Louisiana: Views into the Collection,’ Simmons said. “Painting Enlightenment: Experiencing Wisdom and Compassion through Art and Science” features works by Japanese scientist and artist Iwasaki Tsuneo. “Art in Louisiana: Views into the Collection” provides an overview of fine and decorative art from the 1700s to the present, includ-

In addition to the Duo Cintemani performance, guests sampled hors d’oeuvres from Capital City Grill and cocktails from Rank Wildcat Spirits. Capital City Grill, a longtime partner of the museum, offered attendees 15 percent off dinner following the event. “This is a perfect happy hour with friends or start to your date night,” Simmons said. “For $15, you can listen to live music,
sample a cocktail or two and see the current and ongoing exhibitions in the museum before taking in a scenic view of the sunset on the Mississippi River from the museum lobby.” For LSU MOA members, admission was only $10. The first event of the series, held in August, featured a string trio showcasing Baroque and classical music. Performers for the third and final part of the series, which will be holidaythemed and take place Dec. 8, have yet to be determined.

As the temperature drops to a brisk 89 degrees and University women swap out their Nike shorts for leggings, it can only mean one thing: fall has arrived. ‘Tis the season of oversized sweaters, riding boots and infinity scarves. To celebrate, I headed over to the Starbucks in the Design Building to grab my daily dose of caffeine. As I made my way to the counter, huffing and puffing after the long trek from the Journalism building, the cashier asked for my order. “One grande Pumpkin Spice latte — extra whipped cream,” I announce. I can almost hear the guy behind me roll his eyes. “Oh, wait,” I remember just as she finishes ringing up my order. “Can I get that with soy milk?” Cue another eye roll. Behold Starbucks’s infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte — the unnaturally orange and syrupy sweet beverage that has become a staple for “basic bitches” everywhere. According to Cosmopolitan Magazine, which is made by and for basic bitches, a “basic bitch” is any and every 20-something-yearold woman who enjoys wearing leggings as pants, quotes “Friends” and “Mean Girls” on a regular basis and, of course, rejoices at the annual release of her beloved PSL. According to Urban Dictionary, a basic bitch is a female who
is unoriginal and uninteresting. Dull, boring, regular, extra — the list goes on. But the basic bitch, while painfully simple, is a paradox. She loves eating pizza and drinking (white) wine, but eschews carbs. She wears workout clothes even when she has no plans to workout. She stealthily plans her future wedding on Pinterest, but takes pride in her hoard of shirts collected from one night stands. Being a “basic bitch” is a lifestyle commitment. From perfectly filtering her #nofilter selfie through three photo editing programs to deciding whether she identifies as a Serena or a Blair, it’s exhausting, to be honest. The basic bitch is the culmination of all the expectations of the modern woman — an effortlessly cool exterior paired with a quirky demeanor. Yet in her execution, the basic bitch somehow falls short on both of these things. For those who use basic bitch as their choice insult, it’s the perfect slight — not quite offensive enough to warrant a reaction from said basic bitch without the aggressor claiming an “overreaction,” (or my personal favorite: “Are you PMSing?”) but just derogatory enough to remind her that being a stereotypical female is just about the worst thing she can do.

A veteran basic bitch knows to acknowledge her “basic-ness” before anyone else can because, if she does, it can be empowering in a self-deprecating sort of way. For a fleeting second, she can be a “Cool Girl”: in on the joke that she’s the punchline for by virtue of being a woman and liking things that women like. At the heart of hating on the basic bitch is the idea that liking inherently feminine things makes a woman boring, a mindset that has given rise to the classic “I’m not like other girls,” defense. What’s wrong with other girls? Being a female and a nuanced, multifaceted human being aren’t two mutually exclusive things. The term basic bitch may be relatively new, but hating on women isn’t. While the basic bitch has received much undeserved ire from her peers, there is one thing she does best: unabashedly loving what she loves. We could all learn a lesson from the basic bitch on this one. So go forth, basic bitches. Do what you do best and order PSLs to your heart’s content. And for those of you who just don’t get the appeal, in the wise words of a Disney ice queen, “Let it go.” Please, I beg you. I just want to Instagram a picture of my Pumpkin Spice latte in peace. #nofilter

at LSU as Tiger Twelve award winners and Undergraduate Research Conference placeholders, to national recognition as first place research competitors in New York, and receiving tens of thousands of dollars in funding from the National Science Foundation and Fulbright Foundation, our students have proven they are among the most elite undergraduates in the country,” Givens said in the release.

Trojan has been conducting this report since 2006. This year, the University of Georgia was ranked first, while Brigham Young University was ranked last. In schools across the state, LSU was ranked 36 spots behind Tulane University, but in front of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana Tech University, the University of LouisianaMonroe and the University of New Orleans.
Health Center said the shift in ranking indicates how the importance of sexual health is growing especially on college campuses. Assistant Director of Wellness and Health Promotion Sierra Fowler said it can be difficult to gauge how each campus conducts itself with regards to sexual health. “Each campus is unique,” Fowler said. “The services for one university or college may be more appropriate than others. It’s all about your student body and providing services that work for them, so evaluating them on the same scale can be tricky.” In response to Baton Rouge often being ranked high in AIDS case rates for metropolitan areas, Fowler

Q&A: LSU vs. Ole Miss CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_
BRIAN SCOTT RIPPIE @bsrippie
TDR sports editor Christian Boutwell sat down with The Daily Mississippian’s sports sditor Brian Scott Rippie ahead of LSU-Ole Miss matchup at 8 p.m. Saturday. BOUTWELL: What happened last weekend against Arkansas? Chad Kelly seemed to be under pressure a good amount, something LSU can do, too. Has Ole Miss’ offense spoken much this week about protecting against LSU’s pass rush? RIPPIE: Offensive line coach Matt Luke talked about how LSU mixes odd and even fronts on the defensive line, and Ole Miss will have to adjust accordingly. The offensive line has held its own most of the time this year, but Saturday will be a really tough test. BOUTWELL: LSU knows what Chad Kelly and Ole Miss’ receivers and Evan Engram are capable of, but tell me about another playmaker on Ole Miss’ offense may surprise LSU with his skill level? RIPPIE: Eugene Brazley is a name that a lot of people may not know, but will get some snaps at running back. Ole Miss lost two
running backs before the year even really began, and although Akeem Judd is the starter, Brazley has also helped keep the ground game serviceable. He is a little bit more patient and has the ability to bounce runs outside with a quick burst. Brazley and Judd went over 100 yards against Memphis. It’s rare when Ole Miss has a back run for 100 in a game, and even rarer to have two. Freeze said he wished he would have stuck with the run more against Arkansas, so look for Brazley — along with Judd — to try to give the Rebels some semblance of a running game. BOUTWELL: LSU’s offense is no secret — Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice will carry most of the load. So tell me about Ole Miss’ defense and a particular matchup you’re interested in seeing. RIPPIE: I think you’ve got to look at linebacker. Ole Miss is
thin here and it’s been a revolving door in the middle--so much so the Ray Ray Smith drew his first start at MLB last week. Rommel Mageo and Detric Bing-Dukes have played well in spots at that position, and DeMarquis Gates has been good on the outside. Consistency has been the issue at linebacker. Freeze announced a slight coaching shift this week that will see graduate assistant Christian Robinson coach the middle linebackers while defensive coordinator Dave Wommack will oversee the “stingers” at outside linebacker. BOUTWELL: Ole Miss’ rush defense has struggled some in the past. Has the defense talked about how to stop Fournette and Guice? RIPPIE: The team has repeatedly harped on their eyes being in the correct place, and being in the right spots. Ole Miss is young on defense, especially
on the back end, so the struggle has really been playing disciplined, assignment football. The plan for Ole Miss is relatively simple: hit Fournette and Guice early and often and get a lot of helmets around the ball. This to me is where the game will be won and lost. BOUTWELL: For Ole Miss to win, what has to happen? For LSU to win, which position battles must it win? RIPPIE: As simple as this sounds, Ole Miss must stop the run and not turn the football over. That will win them this game. The Rebels know one speed on offense: fast. It’s caused some lightning quick scores as well as
three-and-outs. If LSU can get a few of those quick stops and keep the Ole Miss defense on the field, it will wear them down. That’s the recipe Florida State and Alabama used. BOUTWELL: Prediction? RIPPIE: I have no clue what to make of this game. I think if Ole Miss doesn’t hurt itself with turnovers and drops, it should win the game. But 8 p.m. kickoff in Death Valley is about as tough as it gets in terms of environment, and until it has proved it can go on the road and play well, it doesn’t make sense to pick the Rebels. LSU-27, Ole Miss-24.
