Ole Miss coach Pete Golding called the 32‑24 win over LSU “sweet” but not a “Super Bowl,” stressing higher program expectations and focusing on future work.
After Ole Miss defeated LSU 32-24, head coach Pete Golding said the victory was "sweet" but not the team's "Super Bowl," emphasizing that beating LSU was not the primary goal and urging players to return to work. Golding noted that the program now has loftier aspirations, citing a shift from earlier expectations of 7-5 seasons to a target of averaging ten wins and pursuing a national championship. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss described his emotional response, saying he looked toward the LSU sideline after each of his three touchdowns and later apologized for an expletive‑laden interview. Tailback Kewan Lacy left the game early with a shoulder injury; X‑rays were negative and he returned to the field, but LSU held him out and will re‑evaluate his availability for the next matchup. The report does not specify the outcome of that evaluation.
