00:00Coach Bowden, our next top 15 tilt on this Saturday. Also in

00:07primetime. Under the lights, a night game inside Death Valley

00:11to Tiger Stadium we go. It's thirteenth ranked LSU. A three

00:15and a half point home underdog against ninth ranked Ole Miss.

00:20Coach, as we know, Tiger Stadium at night, one of the

00:22best venues in college football. From that coaching

00:25perspective, like Joe asked about Autzen, how do you

00:27prepare for this atmosphere that's one of a kind? It is one

00:32of a kind. I've coached in that stadium about seven times and

00:35it is different than every other environment. I think it's

00:38not just the night games. It's not just over 100 thousand, but

00:42it's those Cajuns and they're crazy. They have a great time

00:45getting ready for the game. They get ready for the game and

00:49when they're and I have lost games in that stadium just

00:52because of crowd noise and how it affects your ability. This

00:55is the 100th anniversary of that stadium. They're

00:58celebrating 100 years in Death Valley and they've added

01:00strobe lights. They've added jumbotrons. It's going to be

01:03like Super Bowl halftime in that game and so that's why I

01:06give the LSU the edge in this game. I think they'll I think

01:09they'll cover the spread and they'll win this game. Coach,

01:13I want to talk about the front seven of Ole Miss. They're only

01:15giving up 62 rushing yards per game. It's been very difficult

01:19for opposing offenses to run on them. If you're Brian Kelly, do

01:23you want to establish the run early on to see if that

01:26offensive line could get a push and then work off a play

01:29action? How would you attack that Ole Miss defense

01:32tonight? Well, you know you're right. You're right. I think

01:35you've got to run the football, but you've got to mix it in

01:38with the passing. Both of these teams are too talented on

01:41defense just to go in there and say, I'm going to run or I'm

01:44going to pass. You do have to take what they give you, but be

01:47mixing it up. The first down run, second down pass, first

01:51down pass, second down run. You've got to mix it up so they

01:54can't lock in on you and get you into a third and long

01:57situation. Both defenses very solid. Even LSU has not played

02:01as well consistently. They've got an outstanding rush defense

02:04and they can rush the passer, which they need to, but Ole Miss

02:08great talent on defense tonight. Yeah, the running

02:10refs, third best scoring defense in the country. A tough test

02:14with both Garrett Nussmeyer and Caden Durham. The true freshman

02:17running back kind of taking the lead for the Bayou Bengals.
