Ole Miss will have to pull off its first win at LSU since 2008 if the Rebels hope to remain undefeated and in control of the SEC West.

The Rebels are perfect (7-0, 3-0 SEC) through a season’s first seven games for just the second time since the 60s. But they’ll try to avoid the fate of 2014, when their streak was snapped, and season derailed, with a loss in their eighth game at LSU.

“I would like to see us run the ball and establish the run game and kind of milk the clock,” all-time Ole Miss football great Jerrell Powe said Wednesday. “Keep them off the field. We’re going to score 30 easily.

“But I think we need to do what we were doing Saturday (against Auburn). Run the ball (and) not go as fast. We need to have a four-minute mindset every time we take the field. We’re trying to milk the clock and go score.”

Powe made his comments in the latest edition of Powe Corner, a podcast in association with the Ole Miss Spirit and Talk of Champions.

Powe expects the Rebels to get LSU’s absolute best, especially after Ole Miss continued its climb in Top 25 polls this week. The Rebels, fresh off a 48-34 win over Auburn, are the consensus No. 7 team in the country.

They’re first in the SEC West, too, with Alabama and LSU, in that order, hot on their heels. The Crimson Tide lost to Tennessee and nexts hosts Mississippi State, Ole Miss’ in-state rival.

The Tigers, meanwhile, are 5-2 (3-1), including a 45-35 win at Florida over the weekend.

“Keep their offense off the field because I am a little concerned with the defense, and I don’t want to get in a pissing contest with them,” Powe said. “(LSU QB Jayden Daniels) is putting up numbers. He’s putting up points, and I feel like they haven’t really taken but one loss.

“This guy scares me. They’ve only taken one true loss, and this guy can beat you with his legs, and we’ve been struggling with running quarterbacks.”

Ole Miss opened as a 2.5-point favorite. However, Caesars Sportsbook flipped to LSU (-1.5) on Monday, and the Tigers held there a day later. The over/under sat at 66.0 points.

“I like the money’s starting to come down,” Powe said. “Take the under. Everybody’s going to take the over because we score a lot of points and LSU has been putting up pretty good points.”
