Oxford, Mississippi – Knox Kiffin recently shared insights on The Rebel Walk podcast, discussing his family’s transition to Oxford and the upcoming Ole Miss vs. LSU football game. The match is highly anticipated, taking place on September 27, and is essential for Ole Miss after their loss to LSU last season.
The Kiffin family, including Knox, his father Lane Kiffin, and sister Landry, made their move to Mississippi following Lane Kiffin’s appointment as Ole Miss head coach in 2019. Knox expressed that he appreciates life in Oxford, particularly noting the vibrant community spirit on Saturdays during tailgating and the enthusiasm for local high school games.
The showdown between Ole Miss and LSU is set to kick off at 2:30 PM CT and will be aired on ABC. Currently, Ole Miss boasts a ranking of No. 11 with a perfect record of 4-0, including 2-0 in SEC play. Conversely, LSU holds the No. 4 ranking, also at 4-0 with a 1-0 SEC record.
In preparation for the game, Ole Miss will likely rely on backup quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, as starter Austin Simmons is sidelined with a lower-body injury. Chambliss has made an impressive mark this season, averaging 330 passing yards and 87 rushing yards over his games, all while maintaining a clean record with no interceptions on 62 passes.
On the opposing side, LSU’s defense, ranked No. 3 in the SEC, has proven tough, allowing only 37 points this season, translating to an average of just 9.25 points per game. Their offense, led by quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, is recognized for its potential; many predict Nussmeier will be a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
Offensively, Ole Miss stands out, leading the SEC with an average of 44.8 points per game, showcasing their strength in scoring. The betting odds for the matchup indicate that Ole Miss is a slight favorite, with a spread of 1.5 points and an over/under set at 56.5 points. Analysts predict a closely contested game, with many estimates indicating Ole Miss may secure a narrow victory.
This upcoming game not only serves as a competitive clash between two top-ranked teams but also highlights the intense rivalry in the SEC. With both teams unbeaten and showcasing promising offensive and defensive capabilities, the Ole Miss vs. LSU game is shaping up to be one of the season’s most thrilling matchups, drawing significant interest from fans and analysts alike.
