The Magnolia Bowl is back. Tonight, the No. 7 LSU Tigers are in Oxford to face the No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels for another entry in the longstanding college football rivalry series.

An LSU vs. Ole Miss matchup is always guaranteed excitement, but tonight’s meeting is a special one for a few reasons. For one, this will be the programs’ first meeting in over 60 years when both are ranked in the top 10. The last time that happened was in 1962, when Ole Miss won 15-7.

Another factor in the monumental buzz around tonight’s game is LSU head coach Lane Kiffin, who spent six seasons with the Rebels before becoming the Tigers’ leader. Kiffin is expecting a very hostile environment inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. “I guess there’s real safety issues and stuff, so there’s people that have a plan for that. It is what it is,” he said via Next Round Live on Instagram.

Even without these two blockbuster storylines, tonight’s LSU vs. Ole Miss would still be a must-watch. Their last six games have been tit for tat, and the last three have been decided by no more than six points.
