Undefeated No More: Ole Miss face-planted at LSU. Now what?

Undefeated no more.

Only one other time since the 60s — back in 2014 — had Ole Miss won each of its first seven games. Those Rebels lost in their eighth game, at LSU, and their season spiraled, with losses in four of their last six.

These 2022 Ole Miss Rebels have now suffered the same fate. Well, at least as far as their trip to Red Stick.

Whether Saturday is just a bump in the road for a championship contender or the turning point for a limp to the season's finish line depends on how Ole Miss responds from an ugly 45-20 loss.

The Rebels haven't won in Baton Rouge since 2008.

The schedule certainly doesn’t get any easier. They next travel to Texas A&M, followed by a much-needed bye and a three-game (Alabama, at Arkansas, Mississippi State) sprint to the finish .

Ben Garrett and David Johnson have a full breakdown in this postgame edition of Franchise Player, an Ole Miss podcast in association with the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247). Plus, the guys hand out helmet stickers, play a big-picture round of Buy or Sell and make their raw-emotion picks for the rest of the season.
