Lane Kiffin on Actions Late in Egg Bowl: 'I Probably Shouldn't Have Done That'

Ole Miss took down hated rival Mississippi State in Thursday's Egg Bowl, 31–21. As his offense scored a big late-game touchdown to go up 18, Lane Kiffin admits he got swept up in the emotions of the game.

With 5:35 left in regulation, Rebels quarterback Matt Corral hit Jerrion Ealy for a 15-yard score to push things to 31–13. The Bulldogs would answer on the next drive, but it was too little, too late for Mike Leach's squad.

Right after the Ealy score, Kiffin gestured to the home crowd, hitting them with the famous Vince Carter "it's over" move from the 2000 Slam Dunk contest.
