The Lane Kiffin Oklahoma Confrontation Explained
Following the game, a hot mic captured Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin confronting David Stone Oklahoma lineman. As ESPN’s Molly McGrath attempted an interview, Kiffin told Stone, “You’re a little quieter now than before.“
Kiffin explained his remark to McGrath, providing a Lane Kiffin David Stone hot mic quote. “This guy yelled at me during the game, like, five times how great they are, and we can’t score on them,” Kiffin stated.
Sooners Rally Falls Short in Fourth Quarter
Ole Miss held a 25-13 lead with 5:57 left in the third quarter before a 65-yard touchdown run from Xavier Robinson helped the Sooners rally. Oklahoma briefly took a 26-25 lead late in the quarter.
The Rebels regained the lead when Trinidad Chambliss threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Trace Bruckler. Chambliss finished with 315 passing yards and 53 rushing yards in the win.
Critical Fumble Changes Game Momentum
A crucial late-game mistake hampered Oklahoma’s comeback effort. The Isaiah Sategna III fumble Ole Miss recovered happened on a punt return with just over seven minutes remaining in the game.
Ole Miss capitalized on the turnover, kicking a field goal to extend its lead to eight points with 4:09 on the clock. The Sooners’ final drive stalled after they failed to convert a fourth-and-5 from the Ole Miss 30-yard line.
