Lane Kiffin gets hit by a golf ball as Ole Miss defeats Tennessee 31-26

No. 13 Ole Miss defeated Tennessee 31-26 on a night highlighted by chaos and bedlam in a deafening Neyland Stadium.

It was Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin’s first time back in Knoxville, Tennessee as a head coach since 2009 before leaving Tennessee for USC. As predicted, Tennessee fans didn’t show him much love as he was hit in the arm with a golf ball during the closing minutes of the fourth quarter.

That’s right. A golf ball. That was just one of the various forms of debris thrown onto the field by Tennessee fans. There were water bottles, beer cans, pizza boxes and even a bottle of mustard thrown towards the Ole Miss bench.
