As the No. 11 Ole Miss Rebels prepare to host the No. 4 LSU Tigers, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch. This Week 5 clash promises to be an electrifying encounter as the Rebels seek a measure of revenge against their long-time rivals. Ole Miss enters the game as a slight 1.5-point favorite (BetMGM) over a hot Brian Kelly team.
But it’s not just about the score; the Rebels aim to make a bold statement both on and off the field. Known for their high-tempo offense, they’re ready to bring the heat—and style—with their latest uniform reveal: a striking combination of powder blue helmets and jerseys paired with crisp white pants.
The program shared the Week 5 uniform combo on social media Thursday night.
Historically, LSU has dominated this rivalry, boasting an impressive 64-42-4 record against the Rebels.
