OXFORD, Miss. — The No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels are well aware of the buzz surrounding Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford as LSU's head coach this weekend, but the team is keeping its focus squarely on the game plan, according to junior running back Kewan Lacy.
Lacy said the Rebels are centering their attention "on the game plan and the game," as reported by www.espn.com - TOP. His comments reflect a deliberate approach to block out the external narrative and concentrate on the matchup at hand.
The game is set for this weekend in Oxford, where Kiffin previously coached before departing for LSU. The return of the former Rebels coach has generated significant attention, but Ole Miss players are treating it as just another week of preparation.
Lacy's remarks underscore the team's commitment to maintaining focus amid the heightened scrutiny. The Rebels, ranked No. 8, will look to defend their home field against a familiar foe in LSU.
