almost stunned the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2009 as the head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers but said preparing for Saturday's matchup as the Ole Miss coach will be more difficult than before that 12-10 loss.
"They aren't going to line up all day under center in the I-formation and hand it off and score only four field goals with Julio Jones, Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson and an NFL offensive line," Kiffin said, per Chris Low of ESPN. "This team is way harder to prepare for."
Kiffin also praised offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian's play-calling and head coach Nick Saban's ability to evolve as an offensive leader.
