Second Quarter


The second quarter saw the Landsharks take control of the game. With two touchdowns scored by Ole Miss, they surged ahead to lead 17-7 by halftime. Despite LSU's efforts to counteract this momentum shift, including solid defensive plays from Whit Weeks and PJ Woodland's interception return of 31 yards, they struggled to find their rhythm offensively.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, LSU narrowed the gap as Harlem Berry rushed for a touchdown following a strategic drive downfield. Damian Ramos added two field goals during this period as well. However, despite these efforts and maintaining possession for over 27 minutes throughout the game, they could not capitalize further on scoring opportunities.


Fourth Quarter


As tensions rose in Oxford during fourth-quarter action; both teams exchanged blows but it was ultimately another Rebel touchdown that sealed victory at home turf - finalizing scores at 24-19 favoring Mississippi’s side who remain undefeated now standing tall atop conference rankings (5-0).


For post-game analysis: while there were notable performances such as Zavion Thomas’ impressive receiving yardage totaling up-to sixty-three yards alongside Nic Anderson’s crucial touchdown reception earlier within match proceedings; penalties plagued much-needed progressions hindering potential comebacks from being realized fully upon reflection via reviewing detailed breakdowns provided through comprehensive statistical insights available under 'LSU Tigers post-match stats'.
