Ole Miss must readjust its goals.So must LSU -- albeit in a much different way -- as No. 23 Ole Miss and No. 25 LSU prepare for their annual encounter Saturday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) in Baton Rouge, La.The Rebels (3-3, 1-2 SEC) entered the 2016 campaign hopeful the season would end in some kind of championship, but after six games they are sitting at .500 with that title talk in all likelihood muted for good.The Tigers (4-2, 2-1) came into the fall with a preseason No. 5 ranking and harboring hopes of making the College Football Playoff, but started 2-2.Coach Les Miles was fired at that point, but suddenly LSU caught fire under interim coach Ed Orgeron, posting big wins in their last two games (42-7 over Missouri and 45-10 over Southern Mississippi).With only one conference defeat and games remaining against West Division leaders Alabama and Texas A&M, the Tigers see themselves back in the title picture, if not nationally at least in the conference.You can see a little pep in their step. Guys are making plays, guys are having fun, Orgeron said this week. I know they feel good about being 2-0.OIe Miss, coming off a 34-30 loss to Arkansas that dropped it to 1/3 against ranked opponents, are a bit of a mystery. How will quarterback Chad Kelly and company react to the loss at Arkansas that was sealed when he lost a fumble on the Rebels final drive, ending hopes for a comeback win?I think this is when you find out a lot about yourself, a lot about your team, and a lot about your kids, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said.The Rebels figure to see their defense, which doesnt rank any better than 74th nationally in total defense, scoring defense, rush defense or pass defense, severely tested by an LSU offense that has come to life the last two games.The Tigers put up 634 yards in total yards against Missouri -- an LSU high against an SEC foe -- and followed that up with 45 points and 459 yards against Southern Mississippi. The Tigers have the SECs fourth-best rushing attack even though they have been operating without star running back and Heisman hopeful Leonard Fournette, who missed the last two games with a left ankle injury.Derrius Guice has filled in admirably for Fournette with 564 yards on 62 carries. Fournette will rejoin him this week to give the Tigers a 1-2 punch that will go right at an Ole Miss defense that ranks 12th in the league against the run.This will be the ultimate test for us playing against Leonard Fournette, Ole Miss defensive end Marquis Haynes said.Orgeron is even toying with the idea of using Guice and Fournette in the backfield at the same time.We want to rotate our guys, we want them to keep fresh, Orgeron said. It might be a possibility of putting them both in the backfield at the same time.Fournette, Orgeron indicated, is anxious to get back on the field.Were going to let him do all he can, Orgeron said, and hes going to tell me, Hey, coach. Im 100 percent, 80 percent, 90 percent. These are the things I can do.Well run the plays hes able to run. The plays hes not able to run, we wont run them. But well play both. I think theyre both outstanding backs.Adding a side note to the matchup is the relationship between the two coaches.Orgeron went 10-25 as Ole Miss coach from 2005-07 and gave Freeze, his first on-field college coaching job in 2006.I really dont know that my career does what it does without the opportunity he gave me, Freeze said.Orgeron said his ties to the program and Freeze wont be a factor this week, however. This is about his players, he said.I wont mention it, he said. Thats the furthest from my mind. This is about the LSU Tigers. This is about this football team. This is about a very good opponent coming into Tiger Stadium. Cheap Air Max 200 Mens .

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Highlighted by Leonard Fournette of LSU and Alabamas Derrick Henry, the eventual Heisman trophy winner, the Southeastern Conference boasted some of the nations top rushing attacks in 2015.Missouris was not one of them.In the wake of back-to-back division championships, the Tigers struggles in 2015 were historic. Tallying 1,385 rushing yards and only five rushing touchdowns, Missouri finished the season ranked 127th out of 128 Bowl Subdivision teams in scoring -- the worst finish in school history.The offense was riddled with setbacks seemingly every week. From nagging injuries on the line to running back Russell Hansbroughs ankle sprain in the season opener to the suspension and eventual dismissal of quarterback Maty Mauk, the Tigers never found a rhythm to their season.A 1,000-yard back in 2014, Hansbroughs injury gave way to Ish Witter as the Tigers primary ball carrier. He rushed 126 times for 518 yards and a touchdown in 2015.Witter said the team wouldnt simply forget about what happened in 2015, but it wont dwell on it, either.Its in the past, said Witter, a junior from Tampa, Florida. We cant look back. Weve got to worry about whats going on in the future. Its definitely going to change this season, I think, so Im looking forward to it.Weve got to do a great job as a coaching staff creatively finding ways to run the ball, said first-year coach Barry Odom said. Its all 11 of them, and us together as a staff, putting together a plan schematically of what our kids can do. If youre able to run the ball, that opens up some other things for you.One of the newest additions to Missouris coaching staaff, offensive coordinator Josh Heupel, will be tasked with guiding the run game back on track.ddddddddddddRunning back) is one of the positions that maybe Im most excited about, said Heupel, who served as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma from 2011-2014. Just seeing the competition unfold. Ultimately, were going to need a few of those guys to be able to pound the ball to be successful and chase a championship.Missouri added three new running backs to its roster during the offseason, including graduate transfer Alex Ross from Oklahoma.I feel like well be able to run the ball effectively, said Ross, who rushed 123 times for 786 yards and five touchdowns in three seasons as a Sooner. Weve got a lot of guys that can run, the offensive line is looking good, but the defense is what really helps us. Its good looks all the time.Heupel used words like fast, strong, explosive and mature to describe Ross, who also returned 53 kicks for 1,363 yards and two touchdowns at Oklahoma.He has the ability to take it the distance when hes got some open grass, Heupel said. Hes played at a high level. Hes played a lot of football, so I think its a welcome addition to our backfield.Freshman Demarea Crockett and junior college transfer Nate Strong add depth to the backfield, which already has the look of a rush by committee attack.Those were answers that we were trying to get fixed as we finished spring practice, Odom said. Weve got to get them ready to play, but those are two guys that could help us early on. ' ' '
