Lane Kiffin says self-inflicted wounds hurting Ole Miss vs. LSU early

All in all, Lane Kiffin actually thought his team played pretty well on the road in the first quarter against LSU. They just didn’t have any points to show for it.

And while Ole Miss kicked a field goal out of the break to start the second quarter and take a 3-0 to open the scoring, Kiffin knows they had left points on the field. And that was a result of unforced errors, he said.

“Huge missed opportunity, it was a touchdown that we dropped. Very unusual. He ain’t going to drop one of those again. Then we miss a field a goal then we don’t get cutoff on 4th and 1,” Kiffin said on the ABC broadcast.

The dropped touchdown Kiffin referred to was a deep pass attempt to star wideout Tre Harris, who had gotten behind the defense but couldn’t reel in a deep post pass from Jaxson Dart. And the 4th and 1 stop came within the LSU five yard line, another spot where the Rebels could’ve gotten points but fell short.

But the flip side of that coin, Kiffin acknowledged, is that his team is playing well enough to win. They just need to stop hurting themselves in key spots.

“So, to be 0-0 with all the mistakes, I like the feel of this game,” Kiffin said. “I like how we’re playing. I feel like a much better team right now. But we’re not finishing the plays.”
