“This Is F*****g Ridiculous!” – Lane Kiffin Goes Off As Ole Miss Fans Rush The Field With 16 Seconds Left Vs. Georgia

Lane Kiffin

Lane Kiffin is one of college football's foremost, shall we say, colorful personalities. The Ole Miss mad offensive genius cooked up probably the best win of his career in Saturday's 28-10 win over Georgia. However, the very end of the game that was so easy on the scoreboard morphed into a bit of a logistical nightmare. With 16 seconds still remaining on the clock in the fourth quarter, Rebels fans had complete disregard for human life on the field, including their own, and figured it was "close enough" to the time to rush onto the pitch. https://twitter.com/espn/status/1855402538918650069 Let's just say Kiffin was incensed by the spectators' antics, popping his top when it was clear the Ole Miss supporters weren't going to respect typical fan-player boundaries. https://twitter.com/treywallace_/status/1855402072721522944 Kiffin just wanted to get the dub and get outta there. I don't blame him at all. These college kids are really acting up lately, eh? Texas and Clemson throwing crap on the field. Texas Tech continuing their weird tortilla-throwing tradition. Ole Miss said, forget throwing s**t, we'll do you far better and try to prematurely end a game! Eventually, the students vacated the grass and stood by until the clock officially hit triple zeroes. I guess that was the right thing to do in the end. Good job by the stadium security staff and whomever else was responsible for wrangling this tidal wave of hormone-apexing collegians and calming them down enough to let the game continue. Here's what rushing the field looked like on take two: https://twitter.com/olemissfb/status/1855402976283906189 Because everyone's just barely off to the side after the first failed field rush attempt, this is the quickest you're liable to ever see a football field covered in a sea of this many people. It's almost like golf when at some tournaments, they led the gallery into the last fairway to walk behind the players. Lane Kiffin is the man, though. He'll have nothing to worry about during what should be an absolutely bonkers party in Oxford. You know who will have something to worry about? Georgia quarterback Carson Beck. Entering this season, Beck was considered to have the inside track as the 2025 NFL Draft's QB1. Hasn't panned out that way. Beck's counterpart, Jaxson Dart, left with an injury but returned to gut it out and lead the Rebels to victory. Meanwhile, the main image of this game from the Bulldogs' losing side is Beck smiling on the bench as his team trails by multiple possessions late. https://twitter.com/UnnecRoughness/status/1855396832924332168 Not what I'd be doing if I put up a stat line of 20-for-31 passing, 186 yards, zero TDs and a pick. If Beck was Kiffin's QB and saw that going on, he'd be tearing him a new one in real time. Since Ole Miss won, that'll be the negative narrative everyone focuses on. If anything, this is a positive for Kiffin, because he's paying attention to the finer details and cares about winning, yes, but winning with class and sportsmanship as well. Or at least that's how I'll spin it. I'll bet Ole Miss' premature surge onto the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium sod was a welcome sight for Beck. Dude has to be having a full-blown "Wanna Get Away?" Southwest Airlines moment in real life. Can't get out of Mississippi fast enough.
