Lane Kiffin reached another bonus on Saturday as Ole Miss knocked off LSU, and reached bowl eligibility as the Rebels moved to 6-1 on the season.
Kiffin’s bonus for the bowl eligibility is $50,000, and Steve Berkowitz of USA Today reported that Kiffin’s bonuses have reached $150,000 this season.
The Rebels were led by QB Matt Corral who threw for a touchdown and ran for another as the Rebels knocked off LSU and lame duck coach Ed Orgeron.
The game also may be remembered for Mississippi retiring the No. 10 jersey of former All-America quarterback Eli Manning at halftime.
