Summary
Ole Miss said Thursday that anyone wearing LSU gear or purple and gold in the student section Saturday will be denied entry or ejected from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
The zero-tolerance policy is meant to stop misuse of student tickets and keep opposing fans out of the section as Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford with LSU.
Security has already been tightened beyond the stands, with gates erected near parts of the stadium including the area where LSU buses will park.
More than 100,000 people are expected in town for the prime-time matchup, prompting an all-hands-on-deck police response in Oxford, whose population is roughly one-quarter that size.
The off-field precautions frame one of the weekend's biggest games: No. 8 Ole Miss and No. 7 LSU are both 2-0 entering their first meeting since Kiffin left the Rebels.
