Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford as LSU faces Ole Miss in high-stakes showdown

Saturday night will see Lane Kiffin return to Oxford as LSU faces Ole Miss, a game that pits the former Rebels coach against his ex-defensive coordinator Pete Golding, now the Rebels' head coach. On College GameDay, Golding talked about the extensive signal-stealing preparation required given the staff overlap, while emphasizing execution by the players. The matchup follows Golding's successful debut season that led Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff semifinal.

LSU has been dealing with controversy over attempted roster additions and the health of quarterback Sam Leavitt, who was upgraded to questionable and is expected to play. College football legend Nick Saban predicted Leavitt will be on the field, and a text exchange between Golding and Kiffin about the quarterback's status was highlighted. The game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on September 20.
