Urban Meyer sends Lane Kiffin a blunt message after LSU loss as troubling road record comes under fresh scrutiny
LSU erased a 17-point halftime deficit but could not finish the comeback, leaving Kiffin 2-19 in those road games, according to the figure discussed on the show. 19, when No. 7 LSU visited No. 8 Ole Miss. The Tigers fell behind 24-7 by halftime, then fought back with 17 straight points to tie the game at 24. LSU had a chance late, but Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss ran for a 14-yard touchdown and then helped the Rebels complete the two-point conversion. The loss dropped LSU to 2-1 and gave Ole Miss a 3-0 start. Chambliss finished with 363 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Ole Miss lost at LSU in 2022 after entering Baton Rouge at 7-0 and ranked No. 7. The Rebels led 20-17 early in the fourth quarter before an interception by Jaxson Dart helped LSU change the game. The Tigers won 45-20. A year later, Ole Miss lost 24-10 at Alabama after leading 7-6 at halftime. Georgia then beat the Rebels 52-17 in Athens in 2023, despite Ole Miss entering ranked No. 9 with an 8-1 record.
Urban Meyer has urged Lane Kiffin to “self-evaluate” after LSU’s 32-24 loss to Ole Miss, pointing to Kiffin’s record in true road games against AP Top 25 teams. “That’s a strong enough ratio there that … he’s got to self-evaluate what they do on the road,” Meyer said. Meyer made the comment on The Triple Option after Kiffin’s Oxford return. The latest example came Sept. The Ole Miss Athletics report confirms the final score and late interception. Several losses help explain Meyer’s comment.
LSU hired him after his final Ole Miss team went 11-1 in the regular season and reached the College Football Playoff. Kiffin is now beginning a new chapter at LSU after six seasons at Ole Miss. His return to Oxford ended with a loss, but the season is only three games old.
