'Hatred' all Lane Kiffin's way, he says LSU players can just go play vs Ole Miss
Here's why LSU football coach Lane Kiffin says his team doesn't have any pressure on it heading into game at Ole Miss.
Baton Rouge – Saturday's LSU vs Ole Miss game is expected to be a passionate affair, with possible vitriol leading up to the contest due to the intense rivalry. Lane Kiffin, making his first return to Ole Miss as LSU's head coach, is facing a hostile fan base after his departure from the Rebels earlier this year. Kiffin's comments about recruiting difficulties at Ole Miss have only fueled the animosity.
Despite his former team's strong showing this season, Kiffin believes the pressure is solely on Ole Miss, stating that the players should focus solely on their performance. The matchup between No. 8 LSU and No. 9 Ole Miss marks the first top-10 showdown in 64 years of the Magnolia Bowl.
