The Ole Miss Rebels remain one of the few undefeated teams in college football this season, and this weekend they’ll host the LSU Tigers in what promises to be a high-stakes showdown. The interesting twist? Landry Kiffin, daughter of Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin, just made her relationship with one of Brian Kelly’s players official—adding an unexpected personal subplot to this already crucial matchup.
It’s well known that the Rebels’ head coach is an active presence on social media, often using his platforms to comment not only on sports-related matters but also on moments from his personal life.
In this case, Kiffin reacted to the news about his daughter and, through his official X account (formerly Twitter), posted a three-word message hinting at a potential Rebels victory over the Tigers this Saturday.
“Take the over,” the experienced coach stated via @Lane_Kiffin. The clash between these two powerhouse programs promises to be a high-flying affair, and whoever comes out on top will undoubtedly earn the label of a true title contender.
