No. 4 LSU will square off against the Ole Miss Rebels in Week 5 with the Tigers hitting the road to Oxford for an SEC matchup.

Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers enter the Southeastern Conference clash riding a four-game winning streak after victories over Clemson, Louisiana Tech, Florida and Southeastern Louisiana.

With Ole Miss week arriving, the heart of SEC play is here with Kelly and Co. gearing up for a tremendous challenge on the road this weekend.

"Their tempo is the best in the league. You have to get lined up and in some instances, it keeps you from doing too much. You got to get your cleats in the ground. You've got to be fundamentally sound," Kelly said.

"I think Lane does a great job adapting to what's going on in the game itself.  More than anything else, you know you can plan for things to happen. But then you have to be able to prepare for what's the next step and he's obviously very experienced at what he does. During the game, he can adjust as he sees that he needs to."
