Garrett Nussmeier's 25-yard touchdown pass to Kyren Lacy in overtime gave No. 13 LSU a 29–23 win over No. 9 Ole Miss. The Owls are in their first year at college football's top level and were 26.5-point underdogs. The Bulls guard underwent three knee surgeries while away, including a meniscus and cartilage transplant.

Ole Miss Rebels wide receiver Tre Harris has already been named a Midseason All-American by multiple outlets, and on Thursday, he was named to the Maxwell Award Preseason Watch List. Harris is one of 17 new additions to this watch list,

Prior to this update, Harris was considered questionable for the game against LSU. Harris was injured in the first half of Ole Miss’ win over South Carolina last week. He recorded 3 catches for 81 yards before exiting. Harris is one of the most prolific wide receivers in football. He has 52 catches for 885 yards and 5 touchdowns already in 2024.

Alabama football released its first availability report of Missouri week on Wednesday, and it confirmed what was already revealed by Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer. Veteran safety Keon Sabb will miss Saturday’s game after suffering what DeBoer called a “lower-extremity injury” during UA’s loss to Tennessee last week.

Harris, Ole Miss' leading wide receiver so far in 2024, earned his newest Midseason All-America title from CBS Sports, one of two wideouts nationally to gain the honor. Harris was joined by Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan at the wide receiver position on the list.
