Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is doing what he does best by making a scene off the fied. Kiffin has always been the most vocal coach iin the SEC, and typically it's about things that don't really matter. And the latest example had to do with the Rebels upcoming matchup at Georgia.
Georgia and Ole Miss are scheduled to play on Oct. 18 in Athens. Considering both teams are ranked inside the AP Poll's top 10, this was a great opportunity for UGA to get to host another primetime night game. In anticipation of this potential announcement, Kiffin complained to the media about how Ole Miss never gets to host night games but always has to play at night when they hit the road.
When looking at the data there is some truth to those complaints, but overall it was a weird thing for a head coach to be upset about. It's especially strange because he made these comments a full month before this matchup will even take place.
But the SEC must've been listening to Kiffin's demands because they set a 3:30 pm EST kickoff for this matchup.
SEC gives Ole Miss the gift of a lifetime against Georgia
Who knows if Kiffin's complaints had any impact on the game time, but either way Kiffin got what he wanted. He and Ole Miss won't have to face Georgia under the lights which he believes will be a big advantage for his team.
But will it actually matter? Georgia fans are some of the best in the country who are capable of turning Sanford Stadium into an indimidating environment no matter what time the game is. And that is especially the case when the No. 4 team in the country rolls into town next week.
So sure Ole Miss won't have to worry about playing at night, but the enivronment inside Sanford Stadium is still going to be out of this world. And with revenge on their minds after last season's ugly defeat, Georgia will be ready to do whatever it takes to beat Ole Miss.
