Lacy vs Kiffin in 2026

Kewan Lacy is staying at Ole Miss for 2026, ready to lead the Rebels into a new era under new head coach Pete Golding — even as he prepares to face his former coach, Lane Kiffin, now at LSU. Lacy’s breakout 2025 season — 1,500+ rushing yards, 24 TDs, and a standout 224-yard game vs. Florida — fueled playoff hopes, though they fell to Miami in the semifinals. With Kiffin’s departure before the playoff and his return to the gridiron against his old team, Lacy’s focus remains on the field, and fans are buzzing about a potential national title run. The Rebels open 2026 against Louisville, then square off against LSU on Sept. 19 — a matchup that’s already heating up. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
