Published:
Ole Miss pass rusher Princely Umanmielen will reportedly be a game-time decision for tonight’s top-15 battle between No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 13 LSU.
Umanmielen has been a star for the Rebels this season off the edge, sitting at 13 total tackles, 3.5 sacks and 6 tackles for loss through 5 games this year.
He missed last weekend’s matchup against South Carolina with a foot-related injury, but there’s been hope he’ll be good to go this week after going through practice. Ultimately, it’ll be dependent on whether he feels he can operate at full potential when gametime arrives.

The Rebels would love to have Umanmielen on the field, obviously. LSU at Death Valley presents the toughest challenge Ole Miss has faced to date, and the odds of reaching the College Football playoff with a loss are minimal to say the least.
LSU’s offensive line has been excellent in pass protection this year. The Tigers have only allowed 2 sacks on the season, the lowest mark of any team in the SEC and the 4th lowest in the entire country.
The Tigers and Rebels are set to kick off at 7:30 on ABC.
