ATLANTA — No Lane Kiffin? No problem for Ole Miss.
The Rebel head coach watched the his team run through Louisville at Mercedes-Benz Stadium from the comfort of his office back in Oxford after testing positive for COVID-19 over the weekend.
Since Saturday, the Rebels continued their game preparation without the second-year coach. Despite the strange situation leading up to the season opener, strangeness seemed to be the only thing out of the ordinary for the team.
For Kiffin, it was a situation he was not to familiar or comfortable with.
“So, obviously unusual not being there, so a lot of anxiety and dealing with that because you’re not in control,” Kiffin said.
