Oxford, MS – Lane Kiffin’s daughter, Landry, has revealed her relationship with LSU linebacker Whit Weeks just five days before a pivotal college football game between their respective teams, No. 4 LSU and No. 13 Ole Miss. The announcement was made through an Instagram post, adding a personal twist to an already intense rivalry.
The highly anticipated game is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Both teams enter the match with perfect 4-0 records, making this clash critical for playoff positioning. The Ole Miss Rebels, under Coach Lane Kiffin, have been showcasing an impressive offensive performance, scoring at least 30 points in three out of their four wins this season. Their last performance was particularly dominant, emerging victorious over Tulane with a score of 45-10.
On the opposite side, Whit Weeks, a junior linebacker from Watkinsville, GA, has been a key player for LSU. He had a standout season last year, registering 61 solo tackles and 3.5 sacks. In the current season, Weeks has recorded 11 total tackles, including one half-sack, contributing significantly to LSU’s defensive efforts.
As the rivalry game approaches, Lane Kiffin humorously responded on X (formerly Twitter) to a fan’s comment regarding his daughter’s relationship with Weeks, predicting a high-scoring game with the phrase “Take the over.” This light-hearted banter reflects the excitement surrounding Saturday’s match, amplified by the personal connection between the families.
The weather forecast for the game is expected to be favorable, with sunny skies and temperatures around 81 degrees. This pleasant climate could enhance the atmosphere in Oxford, making for an exhilarating day of football.
Landry Kiffin, 20 years old and a sophomore at Ole Miss, is also a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. The revelation of her romance with Weeks has added an intriguing subplot to the already competitive landscape of college football, drawing attention from fans and commentators alike. Kiffin has expressed pride for the Ole Miss Rebels while acknowledging his daughter’s relationship by posting a nostalgic childhood photo of her on social media.
In past meetings between LSU and Ole Miss, the trend has favored the home team, with the previous four contests resulting in victories for the home squad. This historical context, paired with the current form and dynamics of both teams, sets the stage for an intense showdown this Saturday.
As game day nears, Lane Kiffin is also managing strategic considerations regarding his starting quarterback position amid ongoing health issues. He is weighing his options between Trinidad Chambliss and Austin Simmons, who is currently recovering from an injury.
With both teams aiming for a strong showing this weekend, the underlying story of Landry Kiffin and Whit Weeks introduces an extra layer of intrigue to this already significant matchup. Fans are eagerly anticipating if this personal connection will play a role in either player’s performance as they take to the field in Oxford.
