Good Rolling Stone article on LSU's win over Ole Miss

Les Miles' Tigers pound Ole Miss, momentarily stall college football's offensive explosion
It was only three years ago, but it already feels like a bygone epoch: Do you remember that time LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in the Game of the Century (2011 ed.) and critics were declaring that college football's upper echelons – or at least the upper reaches of the SEC, which, you know, same thing – had played themselves a hundred years into the past?
Well, as you may well be aware, everything's gone full-on schizo since then. The spread offense, already in ascendance everywhere outside of the SEC, began infiltrating from within. Last Saturday evening, three key conference games played out at once: In the first two, Auburn outlasted South Carolina 42-35, and Alabama's Amari Cooper set a school-record with 224 receiving yards in the newly Kiffinized Crimson Tide's 34-20 win over Tennessee.
All of these evolutionary leaps and concessions to modernity have been enjoyable as hell to watch, but these advances in offensive football also appeared to leave behind the weirdest man in the sport, a dude who is renowned for dining on chlorophyll and inventing new metaphors for, among other things, rainstorms and defeat. I am speaking, as you've probably figured by now, of Les Miles, the LSU coach who had largely been out of our lives the past couple of years – or at least until Saturday night, when the Tigers upset previously undefeated Ole Miss, 10-7, in a rare specimen of a football game that felt as if it should be preserved in amber.

Anyway, it's a good one. Thanks for the link.

Your loss. In spite of its political leanings, it has some of the best writing and in-depth analysis in print journalism today.
ETA: BTW, I often disagree with its editorial stance.
