Lane Kiffin made headlines talking about Alabama's defense this week. On Saturday, it dismantled his offense.
. There on the away sideline, wearing a white Rebels visor with similarly colored shirt and gray pants, was the one-time offensive coordinator of the Crimson Tide, Lane Kiffin.
It’s true, the Crimson Tide and Rebels won’t cross paths in the regular season next year, due to the SEC’s new schedule setup. But before the game, Kiffin made a statement saying it could be the final time, and few interpreted it as anything other than an implication that Alabama head coach Nick Saban was nearing retirement.
According to cornerback Terrion Arnold, who finished with eight tackles to lead the team, plus an interception and two pass breakups, the Crimson Tide’s players laughed when they saw Kiffin’s comments. Other than a few mishaps which it quickly recovered from, the secondary was solid against Ole Miss. Arnold played extremely well, as did fellow cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry and a safeties group including Malachi Moore, Caleb Downs and Jaylen Key.
