Much was said between Lane Kiffin and the Southeastern Conference office when the two spoke on the phone Monday, but very little can be repeated.
Kiffin was late to his regular Monday press conference due to speaking with the SEC’s coordinator of football officials, John McDaid, regarding the controversial kickoff play during Ole Miss’s game against Auburn on Saturday.
In the fourth quarter following a Jerrion Ealy touchdown, Auburn’s Shaun Shivers appeared to have touched the ball on the ensuing kickoff return and a Rebel jumped on the ball once it was in the end zone.
The Rebels felt that was a touchdown in their favor, giving them a potential 35-27 lead over the Tigers with just under six minutes left to play.
