Injuries
The LSU Football team was off this past weekend so it'll be hard to know for certain who is in and who is out for this game. The biggest injury to track is Caden Durham who left the South Alabama game with a leg injury. The Tigers will also hope to get speedy wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr back as he is yet to debut this season. On defense the biggest name to watch is Zy Alexander who missed the South Alabama game with a concussion.
On the Ole Miss side it'll be hard to know who is injured for this weekend's game but for much different reasons. For starters, Ole Miss has taken heat for players faking injuries in order to get the Rebels an extra timeout. Lane Kiffin has also used the injury report as another way to troll putting players everyone knows will play on the injury report.
The biggest name to watch for Ole Miss is edge rusher Princely Umanmielen who missed this weekend's game with a lower body injury.
Weather
While Hurricane Milton is preparing to make land fall on Florida, it'll be clear skies on Saturday for LSU's matchup with Ole Miss.
