Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin was fired up right before Saturday's matchup at Alabama

On the field during a pregame interview just seconds before kickoff, Kiffin was intense (and rude?) with CBS's Jamie Erdahl, shaking off her question about what bothers a Nick Saban-coached team.

"Let's hope we didn't run out of pages," Kiffin said, referring to a page of notes he had from his time as an Alabama assistant. "Here we go. Get your popcorn ready."

Kiffin then tossed the headset toward the camera and jogged back to the Ole Miss sideline as Erdahl tried to reiterate her question.

If he did have a page of notes from his time under Saban as the Alabama offensive coordinator from 2014-16, it did not have the right play to call on fourth-and-1 from the Alabama 6 on Ole Miss' first drive. Jerrion Ealy was stoned at the line of scrimmage, and Ole Miss turned the ball over on downs.

Alabama scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive, spanning 94 yards.
