ESPN 'College GameDay' Headed to Baton Rouge for Ole Miss vs. LSU in Week 9

ESPN's College GameDay will head to the Bayou to watch LSU host Ole Miss next weekend.

After getting drilled at Auburn and struggling to beat Florida, the Tigers finally looked like themselves again in Week 8, beating Kentucky 41-3. If it plays like it did against the Wildcats, Les Miles' team has a chance to end Ole Miss' dream season, which the Rebels kept alive with a 34-3 blowout over Tennessee in Week 8.

GameDay's official Twitter account confirmed the location Sunday:

Ole Miss upset LSU in Oxford last season, doing so when the Tigers were ranked No. 6 in the country. Bo Wallace completed 30 of 39 passes for 346 yards, leading the Rebels 61 yards in 13 plays to set up the game-winning 41-yard field goal by Andrew Ritter.

"I'm really not surprised at all that we won this game," said All-American safety Cody Prewitt, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com). "I feel like it's the first time this season we played for 60 true minutes."

But that was then, and this is now; and now is a season in which Ole Miss has been playing for 60 true minutes. Hugh Freeze's team is 7-0 and on course for a spot in the College Football Playoff.

This time, it is LSU's turn to play spoiler.

The Tigers are normally money in home night games, but Ole Miss' in-state rival, Mississippi State, knocked them off in Tiger Stadium earlier this season—a win that began the Bulldogs' ascent to No. 1 in the polls.

What can Miles do to avoid a repeat of that performance? Who on LSU's defense will step up? How will quarterback Anthony Jennings—whose play has been uneven, to put it kindly—fare against a "Landsharks" defense that Bleacher Report's Barrett Sallee called without a doubt "the best in the nation?"

Only one good way to find out.

Get up, Baton Rouge. It's GameDay.
