The college football world pulled out all the stops for Ole Miss vs. LSU on Saturday. It had one storyline after another. Plus, ESPN chose Morgan Freeman to set the tone with College GameDay narration.

The famed actor is known for his breathtaking narration, and you would think that would add more excitement to an already hyped-up contest.

However, that wasn't the case.

During the broadcast, when rival Mississippi State was mentioned, Freeman quieted the crowd, per College GameDay.
