BATON ROUGE, La., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Stevan Ridley scored the last of his three touchdowns with 44 seconds remaining Saturday and No. 6 Louisiana State edged Mississippi 43-36.
Ridley's go-ahead score capped a game in which he gained 88 yards on 18 carries for the Tigers (10-1, 6-1 SEC), who notched their 11th straight home game.
Missouri quarterback Jordan Jefferson connected on 13-of-17 passes for 254 yards and one touchdown. He also scored another TD on the ground for the victors.
Things looked good for Ole Miss (4-7, 1-6) with just under 5 minutes left when Jeremiah Masoli hit Markeith Summers on a 65-yard touchdown pass for a 36-35 lead.
But Mississippi couldn't stop LSU from regaining the lead for good on a subsequent eight-play, 51-yard scoring drive.
