Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama Law Enforcement to Work Together on Safety for Ole Miss, LSU Game
Oxford police are adding mounted patrols and coordinating with state agencies as thousands are expected for the undefeated teams' prime-time matchup.
- LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford, Mississippi, this Saturday to face his former team, Ole Miss, prompting significant security reinforcements from local and regional law enforcement.

- Oxford Police Chief Jeff McCutchen confirmed mounted patrols from New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama, will patrol downtown Oxford and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, providing vantage points to monitor the expected 350,000 visitors.

- Both teams enter Saturday undefeated at 2-0, with ESPN's "College GameDay" broadcasting from the site as the Rebels extend their 13-game home winning streak against a top-ten opponent.
