Do Not Count Trinidad Chambliss Out Of A Big Moment | Ole Miss vs LSU

Everybody keeps asking whether the emotion of Lane Kiffin's return actually matters once the ball is kicked. That's the wrong argument. The interesting one broke out live on this panel: Steven Willis says the pressure is off Ole Miss entirely — lower ranked, home underdog, play loose. Chris Gordy of Locked On SEC says the exact opposite, and his reasoning is hard to dismiss. Ole Miss won eleven games last year and brings back two Heisman favorites. LSU won seven. One day to LSU. College GameDay is in the Grove. Steven joins a national panel alongside Chris Gordy and Jesse Holley to preview the Magnolia Bowl. Two Locked On hosts take opposite sides on who is actually under pressure, Gordy lays out the defensive numbers that make LSU the favorite, and the room splits on the pick with nobody backing down. ⏱️ CHAPTERS0:00 The circus of the week: Kiffin returns to Oxford0:45 Why none of the pressure is on the Ole Miss players2:00 Chris Gordy disagrees: the pressure is all on Ole Miss3:04 The one thing Ole Miss has to do on defense3:43 Gordy on LSU's defense and the numbers5:26 Jesse Holley: the divorce has nothing to do with the football6:36 The counter: LSU has not played anybody yet7:35 What beating Kiffin would mean for Pete Golding8:10 The line: LSU -2.5, and Ole Miss are home dogs8:26 Do not count Trinidad Chambliss out of a big moment9:31 Strength on strength, and where the panel lands 📌 THREE THINGS1. Two Locked On hosts, opposite reads, in real time. Steven: Ole Miss is lower ranked, at home, and gets to play loose — the best possible spot. Gordy: all the pressure is on Ole Miss, because they won eleven games last year to LSU's seven and bring back two Heisman favorites. Lose, and the only thing you have proven is that Kiffin left for the better program.2. Gordy's case is built on a number that is hard to argue with. Through two games LSU is first — not just in the SEC, but in the country — in fewest yards allowed. Ole Miss is statistically dead last. Steven's answer is the counter: mark Tre'Dez Green out of the game, stop nerfing the front seven to protect the back end, and the defensive line advantage is actually Ole Miss.3. The turnover argument now has a third independent voice. Gordy, unprompted, raised Sam Leavitt throwing picks in the red zone last week. That is the third person on three separate shows this week to arrive at the same conclusion without coordination: LSU's quarterback can be made to give the football away, and the extra possessions are how Ole Miss wins. 🦈 EVERYDAYER CLUB — Locked On Ole Miss ad-free, plus members-only Discord. 7-day free trial: https://lockedonolemiss.supercast.com💬 LOOM PRIVATE DISCORD — Free, and the game thread is live Saturday: https://discord.gg/KF3dtcQJhC🌐 EVERYTHING ELSE — https://olemisshub.com🎧 EVERY PLATFORM — https://link.chtbl.com/LOOleMiss?sid=YouTube 🎙️ Thanks to the panel for having Steven on, and to Chris Gordy of Locked On SEC and Jesse Holley. Locked On Ole Miss is part of the Locked On Podcast Network — your team, every day. #OleMiss #HottyToddy #LSU #SEC #CollegeFootball #CollegeGameDay Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
