## Resource

Every preview of Ole Miss and LSU this week has been about whether the Rebels can handle the moment. That's the wrong question. LSU is ranked higher, favored on the road, and carrying the most expensive roster in college football — and Lane Kiffin left a thirteen-win program to go build it. The pressure belongs to the man flying in, not the one already here. Three days to LSU. Steven Willis puts Paul Finebaum's must-win verdict next to the money, the ranking and the betting line, and finds an asymmetry nobody is talking about. Then the LSU player who actually decides Saturday night — and he isn't the quarterback. Last week he lined up in six different places, including quarterback. And finally, the storyline that somehow went national this week, started by both head coaches on the same afternoon without either one being asked twice.
