Nobody ever punted on first down.


"Johnny Vaught actually did punt on 1st down a few times in that game."
So who do we believe? I go with the actual witness, Chnese Bandit58! Just doesn't make sense on 1st down anyway

In the 7th game of the season LSU faced its sternest test—undefeated Ole Miss on Halloween in Tiger Stadium. That game between No. 1 LSU and No. 3 Ole Miss was touted as 1959's "Game of the Year." Ole Miss held a 3–0 lead until the 4th quarter, often punting on first down due to the wet conditions on the field.

Peter Finney claims in his book "The Fighting Tigers" this happened as well.
