Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin had hoped to go into this week’s open date coming off a big win at LSU.
Instead the Rebels are getting a break after blowing a 10-point lead to LSU and losing 29-26 in overtime at Tiger Stadium.
The only time LSU led was on the game-winning touchdown pass on the game’s final play.
“These are hard,” Kiffin said in his postgame news conference. “This one will be around forever.”
Kiffin may have been exaggerating about the loss lingering forever considering something he wanted to say about it slipped his mind when he met with the media again Monday.
