LSU outlasts Ole Miss

"That was a classic SEC football game," LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson said. "It was fun. They scored. Then we scored. Then they scored, but this team doesn't quit. That's been our whole motto this season. just finish." LSU (10-1, 6-1 SEC) finished the scoring with 44 seconds to play on a 7-yard run by tailback Stevan Ridley, who led the Tigers with 89 yards on 18 carries and had three touchdown runs in all. "That's one team I didn't want to lose to," said Ridley, a Natchez, Miss., native who had been living painfully with back-to-back losses to the Rebels, including last season when time ran out on LSU at the Ole Miss 5 after a series of clock management meltdowns by LSU's sideline."We were in a shootout," Ridley said. "We're not used to being in those types of high-scoring games, but we had to go down there and score at the end. And we did it. It was huge for me to get that last touchdown. Words can't explain it."
