Blake Baker Is 3-10 When The QB Runs | Ole Miss Has Been Hiding One | Pregame with Mike Huesmann

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Steven Willis September 20, 2026 Duration: 29:12
Every preview of Ole Miss and LSU today has been about the crowd, the horses and Lane Kiffin's homecoming. That's the wrong line. Blake Baker is 3-10 all time when the quarterback he's facing runs for forty-five yards, Trinidad Chambliss has not run a single designed quarterback run in three games, and that was a deliberate decision to protect the season — not a limitation. Tonight the drawer opens, and LSU has two games of film on pocket passers and nothing else. Kickoff is tonight, 6:30 CT on ABC. College GameDay is on the Grove with Morgan Freeman picking. Steven Willis sits down with the one analyst in the country who picked against Ole Miss on the record and asks him to defend it eight hours before kickoff — the Blake Baker number, the red zone stat nobody is holding, and whether the most anticipated game of the season can possibly live up to the day around it. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 [FILL FROM CASTMAGIC AFTER RECORDING] 📌 THREE THINGS 1. Blake Baker is 3-10 all time when the opposing quarterback runs for forty-five yards, and the reason is structural, not luck. Baker builds to take the pass away first, so a running quarterback forces an extra man into the box, the safety comes down, and the coverage behind it simplifies. Ole Miss has shown none of it in three games — on purpose. 2. The yardage is not the point. LSU does not need Chambliss to actually get forty-five; LSU needs to believe he might, because the belief is what moves the safety, and the safety is what opens Deuce Alexander down the field and Caleb Cunningham underneath. That is the entire chess match, and it resolves in the first three drives. 3. Opponents have reached the red zone five times against Ole Miss this season and scored one touchdown. The take that set after Louisville — this defense can't stop anybody — never accounted for it. Explosive-play defense and red zone defense are different skills, and this group has been excellent at the second one. 🦈 EVERYDAYER CLUB — ad-free episodes plus the members-only Discord, 7-day free trial: https://lockedonolemiss.supercast.com 💬 FREE LOOM DISCORD: / discord 🌐 EVERYTHING ELSE: https://olemisshub.com 🎧 EVERY PLATFORM: https://link.chtbl.com/LOOleMiss?sid=... 🎟️ GAMETIME — code LOCKEDON for $20 off your first purchase, terms apply. 👕 PANTS STORE — pantsstore.com 🎯 FANDUEL — College Football Pick 'Em, free to play, fanduel.com/lockedonolemiss Locked On Ole Miss is part of the Locked On Podcast Network — your team, every day. #OleMiss #HottyToddy #OleMissFootball #LSU #SEC #CollegeFootball #CollegeGameDay
