Lane Kiffin will have the tough task of preparing for some different offensive and defensive coordinators for the Peach Bowl.

Penn State started off the season with Mike Yurcich at OC and Manny Diaz at DC. Yurcich has since parted ways with Penn State and Diaz accepted the head coaching position at Duke. The offensive and defensive play calling duties will be handled by a pair of assistants on each side of the ball.

Kiffin argued that while people think that benefits Ole Miss, they couldn’t be more wrong at Tuesday’s Peach Bowl presser. There’s no telling what the co-OCs and DCs will do.

“Like opening a season with no preseason games. … People would think that’s in our favor with Manny Diaz leaving, but that presents challenges, too,” said Kiffin. “We don’t have any idea what they’re gonna do.”

The defense of Penn State is something that Kiffin was especially wary of. It doesn’t matter where they play on that side of the ball, they bring it week in and week out.

“Obviously they have great players, elite talent, great coaching but they play really hard and physical — whether at home or on the road…these guys bring an old-school mentality with new-school elite talent.” said Kiffin.

The Nittany Lions allowed the fewest yards per game in the Big Ten this season with 223.3 yards per game.
