Ole Miss vs. LSU massive matchup for SEC

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin knows this one against LSU means everything, at least to this point in the season.

“Really a big week for us in preparation,” Kiffin said of LSU. “Going to play a really talented, well-coached team in a really challenging place to play, especially at night. Our guys are excited for the challenge coming off of last week’s road game. Got a lot of work to do, a lot of things to improve on, especially offensively. Really felt good about two of the three phases Saturday. Our goal is play a complete game this week.”

Speaking of injuries concerning Ole Miss and LSU, Brian Kelly addressed any concerns over faking injuries, which the Rebels were accused of, leading up to the game.

“The SEC has a policy regarding it,” Kelly said. “So, there is a policy in place that was implemented by the commissioner relative to sportsmanship and if there was any faking of injuries in a deliberate action, the SEC would take action on that. I can leave that up to the SEC and let them evaluate that.”

Kelly even doubled down, saying the officials shouldn’t be the ones to enforce if someone is faking or not. Sometimes, it can be tough to tell.

“The officials shouldn’t be involved in it,” Kelly said. “That’s not their purview, they got to officiate a game. They can’t decide who is injured or who is not injured… As a coach, you just coach your guys and you try to play through any of those instances. We let our policy from the SEC handle any of those instances.”
