“Well, just your typical Lane Kiffin defensive win!”
This is what I said to the friends of mine who have season tickets near me in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium after a 22-19 by the No. 14 Ole Miss Rebels over No. 7 Kentucky.
Holy smokes, this was an absolute jaw-clinching battle to the very end, and I’m OK if the next two weeks are very ho-hum at this point. The Rebels built a 19-6 lead only to slowly but surely end up tied 19-19 in the third quarter.
A 26-yard field goal from my new favorite player, Jonathan Cruz, in the late third quarter was the difference despite continued deep drives into Ole Miss territory by the Wildcats.
