Lane Kiffin on 2023 Egg Bowl win: 'Appreciate it more once you've lost it'
Lane Kiffin and his Rebels didn’t yolk around against Mississippi State. After defeating the Bulldogs 17-7 in the Egg Bowl on Thursday night, the Ole Miss head coach revealed what the victory means to him.
“It’s just really cool,” Kiffin told ESPN’s Cole Cubelic. ‘It’s one of those things that you appreciate it more once you’ve lost it. To have it back for our players, for our fans... I just want to thank God for the opportunity to coach these guys because it’s just really cool. Half these guys are brand new and just came in here, and to win 10 games awesome.”
Ole Miss fell 24-22 to Mississippi State in the rivalry game last season. This year was personal. With the triumph, Ole Miss finishes its regular season with a 10-2 record, Kiffin’s second 10-win season in four years in the driver’s seat.
