Kiffin Returns as LSU vs Ole Miss Rivalry Ignites | New Orleans News

Oxford braces for a historic weekend as LSU and Ole Miss collide in a top-10 showdown, with former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin now leading LSU — making his return to Oxford all the more electric. With crowds expected to crush stadium capacity, police are deploying extra patrols, including mounted units from New Orleans, while clarifying no National Guard involvement. Hotels are sold out, restaurants are already catering full orders, and ESPN’s College GameDay will be live at The Grove before kickoff. Both teams undefeated, this is the first top-10 matchup since 1962 — and fans are being urged to bring the heat while keeping Ole Miss’ hospitality tradition alive. Kickoff: 6:30 PM CT Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
