Everything Pete Golding said after Ole Miss’ 32-24 win over LSU
- Golding said Kewan Lacy hurt his shoulder and had a negative X-ray. Lacy was padded up to try to play through it, but JT was playing well at that point. Golding expected more information the next day; he did not confirm Lacy's availability for Florida.
- Sharif Denson returned against LSU after the high ankle sprain that interrupted his planned starting role entering Louisville. Golding said Denson rolled it again during Fast Friday and limped off, but played well in this game. That is not a new recovery timetable or a guarantee for next week.
- Golding put Edwin Joseph at corner, where sideline help could simplify checks for a newcomer, and Jaylon Braxton at safety to put a communicating corner body inside against slot matchups. When Kite got banged up, Braxton moved back to corner; Ladarian Clardy and Nick Cull contributed by committee. No permanent order was announced.
- Ole Miss emphasized containing Leavitt and compressing the pocket over chasing sacks; Golding still cited linebacker run-fit errors. On the final fourth down, a six-up look read the center: one linebacker attacked and the other dropped as a spy, with the outside rushers collapsing the pocket and the defensive backs matching in blitz coverage.
- Golding said Ole Miss practiced a two-point sequence to catch extra defenders or force a timeout. After two defensive jumps moved the try closer, he chose the half-yard attempt to build an eight-point lead. This was a situational plan, not a standing policy to go for two after every touchdown.
