Ole Miss fans not happy with Lane Kiffin after fourth-down gamble against Oklahoma

Ole Miss had a stellar first half on the road against Oklahoma, taking a 22-10 lead on the Sooners and the Rebels put together one of their best halves of football this season.

So when the Ole Miss offense failed to get a first down on their opening drive of the second half, it was assumed that Lane Kiffin would elect to punt on 4th and 1 from his own 25. Well, you know what happens when you assume anything about Kiffin.

The always-aggressive coach decided to go for it and bring in backup quarterback Austin Simmons just to put him and starting quarterback Trinidad Chambliss on the wings and running back Kyren Lacy in the backfield for a direct snap.
