Kiffin Back at Ole Miss | New Orleans News

Lane Kiffin is back where it all began as No. 7 LSU heads to Oxford to face No. 8 Ole Miss — a clash steeped in history and stakes, the first top-10 showdown between these rivals since 1962. While Kiffin jokes he and Ole Miss’s Pete Golding won’t be tackling each other personally, the real battle is on the field, especially against mature QB Trinidad Chambliss, whom Kiffin warns could be LSU’s biggest test. He also notes how familiar his staff is with Ole Miss’s offense — a plus for the Rebels — recalling how understanding opponents helped him under Saban. And while the focus is on football, Kiffin shared that former coach Ed Orgeron is recovering well from a health scare during preseason, adding emotional weight to this historic weekend.
