Mark Stoops Outcoached Lane Kiffin
One of the most significant matchup battles heading into this game was between Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin and Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops. In what many expected to be a Rebels blowout, the Wildcats seemingly controlled this matchup. Stoops’ squad dominated the time of possession (UK: 39:43 to Ole Miss 20:17), allowing the Wildcats to pull out the win. Between the game plan, controlling the game script, and decision-making, it seems Kentucky’s coach won more than just the game.
