Ole Miss Players Say They're Focused on Game Plan Ahead of Kiffin's Return
No. 8 Rebels running back Kewan Lacy says the team is treating this weekend's matchup as 'another week' despite attention on former coach Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford as LSU's coach.
Ole Miss junior running back Kewan Lacy said the No. 8 Rebels are aware of the heightened attention surrounding Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford this weekend as LSU's head coach, but the team is keeping its focus on preparation for the game itself.
According to ESPN, Lacy said the Rebels are centering their attention "on the game plan and the game" rather than the storylines surrounding Kiffin's homecoming.
Kiffin previously served as Ole Miss's head coach before departing to take over LSU's program. His return to Oxford as an opposing coach has generated significant buzz among fans and media covering the matchup, per the report.
Despite the outside attention, Ole Miss players are approaching the contest as they would any other game on their schedule, according to comments relayed by ESPN.
