Overview
- During a third-quarter timeout, former Ole Miss pole vaulter Drew O’Connor proposed to Madison Barnette on the field, and Kiffin jogged over to congratulate them and pose for a photo.
- No. 6/7 Ole Miss beat The Citadel 49-0 to move to 9-1, with quarterback Trinidad Chambliss completing 29 of 33 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns.
- Kiffin said he only learned of the proposal over his headset during the game and praised the loud ovation from the Vaught-Hemingway crowd.
- A viral post claiming Kiffin signed through 2035 was false; reporting notes a previously triggered one-year extension after the Oct. 25 win over Oklahoma but no verified new long-term deal.
- With media linking him to Florida’s vacancy, Kiffin emphasized the primacy of NIL funding and fan turnout in program stability, while also drawing online pushback for a “Freeze warning” social post.
