Summary
Cam Newton urged Ole Miss receiver Deuce Alexander to avoid becoming a distraction after Alexander said LSU should "get ready" because the game would be a "bloodbath."
Newton said Lane Kiffin may want that emotional buildup, warning the Rebels to "keep the main thing the main thing" ahead of Kiffin's first trip back to Oxford since leaving before last season's playoff.
Alexander has reason to take the matchup personally after playing under Kiffin at Ole Miss, and he enters it hot with 235 receiving yards and two touchdowns through two games.
Oxford is already leaning into the grudge match — Ole Miss has barred purple and gold from its student section — underscoring how much focus the Rebels must keep on a top-10 SEC showdown.
