TEXAS (Sporting Alert) — Top 25 Results, scores and record after the college football Week 9 fixtures that took place on Saturday, Oct. 26.
The highlighted result in Week 9 came from the game of the week at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, where No. 24 LSU upset the previously undefeated and No. 3 Ole Miss, 10-7, in a very defensive, but exciting game.
Anthony Jennings finished with 8 of 16 passes for 142 yards and two interception, but did dished out the key go-ahead scoring three yard pass to Logan Stokes to make what turned out to be the team’s winning touchdown.
LSU head coach Les Miles came into the game riding high on emotions, following the death of his mom less than 24 hours before the start of the game, but he wanted his team to play hard and not focus on his own feelings at that point.
“The concern that I had would be condolences and an outpouring of emotions and caring for each other could not exactly be what you want to go play a very violent, physical and competitive game,” said Miles.
He added though that: “After the game I can’t tell you the number of young men that threw their arms around me and told me, ‘Love you coach.’
“It is as touching as anything I have had happen.”
The win sees LSU improving to 7-2 on the season and 3-2 in SEC conference play, while Ole Miss, which dropped its first game of the season, is 7-1 and 4-1 in the SEC.
