There are a ton of numbers, moments, and stats that stand out from LSU's overtime victory over the Ole Miss Rebels. The Tigers' defense was outstanding holding Ole Miss to 26 points three off which came in overtime. Kyren Lacy was incredible with 111 yards receiving, Bradyn Swinson recorded two sacks, and Whit Weeks racked up eight sacks. The number that stands out from this game, however is the number zero.

Zero is the number of times that the Ole Miss Rebels were able to sack Garrett Nussmeier in this game. The offensive line was impressive tonight and Garrett Nussmeier had a ton of time to pass even though he was ineffective. Holding Ole Miss to no sacks in this game is even more impressive when you consider the fact that Ole Miss had the most sacks in the country heading into this game.

One of the players that LSU had to look out for was wide receiver Juice Wells who has the ability to take over any game. Well, the LSU secondary stepped up and delivered a massive performance which left Juice Wells with zeroes in catches and yards.

Finally, zero also indicates the amount of time in seconds that LSU led in this football game on Saturday Night. LSU was always trailing in this game and every time Ole Miss could've put this game out of reach the defense stood tall. It would've been easy for this team to quit when the game was going bad yet, both sides stayed engaged through overtime.

For Ole Miss, the good news is you'll get four zeroes as LSU will have to pay a $250,000 as a fine for rushing the field which gets paid directly to Ole Miss.
