Shortly after Mark Stoops chatted with reporters at his Monday press conference in Lexington, Lane Kiffin did the same in Oxford. Like Stoops, Kiffin isn’t completely pleased with his team following their performance in Week Four, and like Kentucky, Ole Miss is battling some injuries ahead of Saturday’s game in the Grove. Here are the five things Kiffin said that stood out to me.
1. Tale of two halves vs. Tulsa
Ole Miss beat Tulsa 35-27 on Saturday, the same margin by which Kentucky beat Northern Illinois. The Rebels actually trailed Tulsa 14-7 in the second quarter before scoring 28 points to take a 35-17 lead into halftime.
