Inside Lane Kiffin security plans for Ole Miss-LSU game, 'massive humanity' in Oxford
Ahead of Lane Kiffin's return to Ole Miss with LSU, security plans have been made for months. Here's what to know.
On September 19, Ole Miss will face off against LSU in a highly-anticipated college football game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, with Ole Miss expected to set a record crowd. Mississippi Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell stated that the focus is on ensuring the fans uphold their end of the bargain, as headlines will only be made on the field. Kiffin's return to Ole Miss, after leaving for LSU last season, adds a dramatic element to the rivalry.
Tindell noted that security plans are in place with a combination of state police, university police, and local law enforcement to handle the massive crowd. Kiffin confirmed that there are safety protocols in place, but also acknowledged the excitement surrounding the game. Ole Miss Athletic Director Keith Carter dismissed speculation that security would be excessive, stating that it's mainly due to the large number of spectators.
