Holy smokes, did Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy just drop a bomb about former coach Lane Kiffin? Ahead of the massive Week 3 showdown in Oxford, where the No. 7 LSU Tigers roll into town to face No. 8 Ole Miss, Lacy didn’t mince words about his old coach, and you know there’s no love lost.
Lane Kiffin’s Icy Reunion with Ole Miss
Yeah, that’s right, Lane Kiffin is back in Oxford on Saturday after ditching the Rebels for LSU, and it was a straight-up messy breakup last year. Kiffin bolted at the end of the regular season, abandoning the Ole Miss team *before* they even headed to the College Football Playoff! Talk about a cold move. Now, he’s coaching a conference rival, and you just knew the bad blood was going to boil over. Expect fireworks in the stadium.
Kewan Lacy’s Loyalty and First-Round Talent
This isn’t just about Kiffin, though; it’s also about a star player who chose to stay. When asked about his current relationship with Kiffin, junior running back Kewan Lacy just hit us with the ultimate truth bomb: “Really don’t have a relationship with him.” Boom! Lacy, who’s one of the best running backs in all of college football and a potential first-round NFL Draft pick, could’ve followed Kiffin through the portal this offseason. But he stuck with Ole Miss and star quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, chasing a national championship instead. Remember last season? Even after Kiffin left and Pete Golding took over as head coach, the Rebels still went on a tear, winning CFP games against Tulane and Georgia to reach the semifinals before falling to Miami (FL) in the Fiesta Bowl. You know Golding and his squad are running it back with a vengeance this year, especially against Kiffin.
This Saturday isn’t just a regular game, folks. It’s paramount for both teams’ 2026 title hopes. LSU and Ole Miss both have impressive non-conference wins under their belts, but they’ve got hard SEC schedules ahead. This is a huge game in the SEC conference race and for the CFP picture. You can bet Oxford is going to be absolutely electric, and we can’t wait to see who comes out on top with the national spotlight shining bright!
