Lane Kiffin, who became the fastest coach in Ole Miss history to earn 50 victories, did not mince words when discussing the empty seats visible at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium during his team’s latest victory. “I thought our Red Zone offense showed up about like our student section,” Kiffin said, referencing the sparse crowd and challenging students to provide better support for the unbeaten Rebels.
Ole Miss improved to 6-0, extending its perfect mark in nonconference regular-season games under Kiffin. However, the coach’s postgame jab added to ongoing concerns about student attendance in a season filled with high expectations for Ole Miss.
The Rebels will face No. 10 Georgia in Athens next week.
