Ole Miss must readjust its goals.So must LSU -- albeit in a much different way -- as No. 23 Ole Miss and No. 25 LSU prepare for their annual encounter Saturday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) in Baton Rouge, La.The Rebels (3-3, 1-2 SEC) entered the 2016 campaign hopeful the season would end in some kind of championship, but after six games they are sitting at .500 with that title talk in all likelihood muted for good.The Tigers (4-2, 2-1) came into the fall with a preseason No. 5 ranking and harboring hopes of making the College Football Playoff, but started 2-2.Coach Les Miles was fired at that point, but suddenly LSU caught fire under interim coach Ed Orgeron, posting big wins in their last two games (42-7 over Missouri and 45-10 over Southern Mississippi).With only one conference defeat and games remaining against West Division leaders Alabama and Texas A&M, the Tigers see themselves back in the title picture, if not nationally at least in the conference.You can see a little pep in their step. Guys are making plays, guys are having fun, Orgeron said this week. I know they feel good about being 2-0.OIe Miss, coming off a 34-30 loss to Arkansas that dropped it to 1/3 against ranked opponents, are a bit of a mystery. How will quarterback Chad Kelly and company react to the loss at Arkansas that was sealed when he lost a fumble on the Rebels final drive, ending hopes for a comeback win?I think this is when you find out a lot about yourself, a lot about your team, and a lot about your kids, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said.The Rebels figure to see their defense, which doesnt rank any better than 74th nationally in total defense, scoring defense, rush defense or pass defense, severely tested by an LSU offense that has come to life the last two games.The Tigers put up 634 yards in total yards against Missouri -- an LSU high against an SEC foe -- and followed that up with 45 points and 459 yards against Southern Mississippi. The Tigers have the SECs fourth-best rushing attack even though they have been operating without star running back and Heisman hopeful Leonard Fournette, who missed the last two games with a left ankle injury.Derrius Guice has filled in admirably for Fournette with 564 yards on 62 carries. Fournette will rejoin him this week to give the Tigers a 1-2 punch that will go right at an Ole Miss defense that ranks 12th in the league against the run.This will be the ultimate test for us playing against Leonard Fournette, Ole Miss defensive end Marquis Haynes said.Orgeron is even toying with the idea of using Guice and Fournette in the backfield at the same time.We want to rotate our guys, we want them to keep fresh, Orgeron said. It might be a possibility of putting them both in the backfield at the same time.Fournette, Orgeron indicated, is anxious to get back on the field.Were going to let him do all he can, Orgeron said, and hes going to tell me, Hey, coach. Im 100 percent, 80 percent, 90 percent. These are the things I can do.Well run the plays hes able to run. The plays hes not able to run, we wont run them. But well play both. I think theyre both outstanding backs.Adding a side note to the matchup is the relationship between the two coaches.Orgeron went 10-25 as Ole Miss coach from 2005-07 and gave Freeze, his first on-field college coaching job in 2006.I really dont know that my career does what it does without the opportunity he gave me, Freeze said.Orgeron said his ties to the program and Freeze wont be a factor this week, however. This is about his players, he said.I wont mention it, he said. Thats the furthest from my mind. This is about the LSU Tigers. This is about this football team. This is about a very good opponent coming into Tiger Stadium. Nike Clearance Sale . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Dutch cyclist Annemiek van Vleuten suffered three small fractures to her spine and will remain hospitalized in intensive care after crashing Sunday during the womens Olympic road race.Van Vleuten was leading on the fast, slippery descent of Vista Chinesa when she appeared to lock up her brakes on the final corner. She tumbled onto the road and her bike went flying, and she remained on the edge of the pavement as the rest of the field swept past.Teammate Anna van der Breggen went on to win the gold medal.The Dutch team said van Vleuten was conscious when she was loaded into an ambulance, and Chef de Mission Maurits Hendriks and team doctors said she was stable and speaking Sunday night.It was not known when she would be released.It was horrendous crash, road race silver medalist Emma Johansson of Sweden said. The peloton is so small and we all know each other very well. I just hope shes OK.The road course of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics caused havoc to the mens field on Saturday, too.Giro d Italia winner Vincenzo Nibali and Colombian climber Sergio Henao were leading on the same final descent when they crashed. Geraint Thommas of Britain, Richie Porte of Australia and Nelson Oliviera of Portugal were involved in three other hard wrecks.ddddddddddddNibalis coach, Davide Cassani, said that the Italian broke his collarbone in the fall. Porte broke his scapula, taking one of the time-trial favorites out of Wednesdays race.Its a difficult descent because you can go really fast but you also have to corner, van der Breggen said. After the mens race, I think we were all warned we needed to take care of the descent, and we did. Of course, if youre riding in front, maybe you take too much risk.The International Cycling Union defended the difficulty of the course, pointing to a test event and the numerous training opportunities that gave riders a chance to prepare for its twists and turns.Yesterday, I spoke with Vincenzo and he told me the descent was very technical, said Italian rider Elisa Longo Borghini, who took bronze on Sunday. I took care to be safe to avoid crashes. I had a very hard crash three years ago, so I know what that means. ' ' '
