Mississippi to Deploy Record Law Enforcement for Ole Miss-LSU Football Game

On Saturday, Ole Miss will host LSU in a top-ten college football matchup in Oxford, Mississippi, with unprecedented security measures. Mississippi will deploy its largest law enforcement presence ever for a game, including 65-70 troopers, a helicopter, and mounted patrols, after Ole Miss banned opposing team gear from the student section. The game marks LSU coach Lane Kiffin's return to his former school, where he left under contentious circumstances. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry joked about sending the National Guard, and officials urge fans to maintain safety and sportsmanship.
