Ole Miss Outlasts Kentucky 30-23 as Kiffin’s Timeout Triggers Betting Fallout

Lane Kiffin apologized after a late Kentucky field goal affected betting outcomes.

Overview

  • No. 20 Ole Miss moved to 2-0 with a 30-23 SEC-opening win in Lexington, powered by Kewan Lacy’s 138 rushing yards and a touchdown.
  • Austin Simmons completed 13 of 24 for 235 yards with two interceptions and added a rushing score as the Rebels overcame an early 10-0 deficit.
  • With 13 seconds left, Kiffin called a timeout after Kentucky had exhausted its timeouts, setting up Jacob Kauwe’s 39-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining.
  • Broadcasters noted the kick flipped the spread and turned the total to the over, and Kiffin told ESPN, “Sorry to a lot of gamblers there at the end.”
  • Simmons left in the fourth quarter with an apparent ankle issue before a brief replacement, and Kiffin said he was OK to return; local insiders expect he could be listed questionable for Arkansas next week.
