What happened: Smith jawed with Ole Miss fans and said "the best running backs to ever come through here is because of me." The exchange made the pregame scene louder ahead of Saturday's LSU-Ole Miss matchup.

Why it matters: Smith's history at Ole Miss gave the remark more bite than ordinary sideline back-and-forth. It also added to the buildup around Ole Miss-LSU kickoff as the rivalry chatter kept climbing.

What to watch: Watch for any postgame response from either sideline and whether Smith revisits the remark after the result is settled.
