19 Sep
Summary
- Coach Golding humorously doubts LSU QB's injury status.
- Golding shared a text exchange with Lane Kiffin about the report.
- The Ole Miss coach expects a tense matchup against LSU.
The coaching rivalry between Ole Miss and LSU has intensified with head coach mind games already underway. Ole Miss coach Pete Golding responded humorously to LSU's injury report listing quarterback Sam Leavitt as "doubtful" for their upcoming game. Golding revealed he received a text from LSU's coach, Lane Kiffin, prior to the official report, stating Leavitt would be out. Golding expressed skepticism, recalling past instances where Ole Miss injury reports were extensive.
Golding shared this lighthearted exchange on The Pat McAfee Show, acknowledging that most observers, including former coaching legend Nick Saban, don't fully believe Leavitt will miss the contest. The Ole Miss coach also sent a three-word message to Kiffin, "See you Saturday," and wished Leavitt well. The game is anticipated to be a top-10 matchup with significant tension, particularly due to Lane Kiffin's controversial departure from Ole Miss to LSU.
