## Resource

John Fourcade joins Locked On Ole Miss with LSU five days out, and he starts where the fanbase is loudest: the secondary. His read is not the one you have been hearing. "If a guy's not covering a guy he's supposed to cover, that's a blown assignment. That's not athletic ability." A former Rebel quarterback telling you the back end's problem is execution and not talent is a very different conversation than the one happening on the message boards. We start with what the 41-9 win over Charlotte was actually for. Fourcade's answer: get out clean. No injuries, fix the blown assignments, work the running game, and let Trinidad Chambliss go sit down after 23-of-26 for 225 yards and two touchdowns. Pete Golding said at Monday's podium that Ladarian Clardy had a strong game at free safety, and Fourcade explains why a free safety you can count on decides how the entire back end holds up. Then LSU. Fourcade gives Ole Miss the edge at quarterback, at running back, on the offensive line and along the defensive front, and LSU is still laying the points. We get into why, what Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford does to the number, and his read on an LSU roster he says was built with "$40-something million." His bottom line on Saturday night: "The team with the least amount of turnovers or the least amount of mistakes will win that football game." We also get into the quick passing game as the answer to a hyper-aggressive front, the 2023 Penn State comparison, why he thinks this game never should have moved off Halloween weekend, and the rest of the Week 3 SEC board including Georgia at Arkansas, Mississippi State at South Carolina, and Florida at Auburn. Plus Deuce Knight's hurdle, which Fourcade says is going on a poster.
