LSU football faced one of its former players when it faced Ole Miss on Oxford during Week 3. Running back JT Lindsey turned into a crucial part of the Rebels' offense in the top-10 showdown and helped them win the game.

Ole Miss' top running back Kewan Lacy exited the game with a shoulder injury. The reduced depth increased Lindsey's workload. He took four carries for 20 yards and caught a pass for eight yards. His first carry, in the third quarter, went for 11 yards on a drive that ended in a missed field goal attempt.

Lindsey played a major role in helping Ole Miss convert a critical fourth-and-one in the fourth quarter. He took a direct snap and plunged forward for two yards to move the chains. He got three more touches in the drive that ended

with a 14-yard touchdown run by Trinidad Chambliss. Lindsey found the end zone on the ensuing two-point conversion to put the Rebels up by eight.
