Lane Kiffin gushed about Texas A&M’s roster, especially on the defensive line, in his opening remarks at a press conference on Monday.
The Ole Miss coach went down the list of impressive attributes about the Aggies.
“These guys are absolutely loaded, it’s kind of a mind-blowing collection of talent,” Kiffin said. “… It really is like an NFL roster. Height, weight, speed, explosiveness. Receivers that can score at anytime, great running backs. Defense is playing as well as any in the country. The collection of defensive line has to be one of the best ever.”
The Aggies are second in the country with 33 sacks. However, the Rebels themselves have 30.
“I’m not excited for our O-line coach, I can tell you that, to watch these cut-ups,” Kiffin said. “A&M’s done a great job of collecting players and putting them together. It’s a great challenge.”
Kiffin was asked about Ole Miss being No. 10 in the coaches poll this week, and how the Rebels have been in the top 10 of at least 1 poll for 3 straight years.
“It doesn’t matter to me, except for where do you finish,” Kiffin said. “It’s good that it brings attention to the program and to be able to do that, especially as you’re going against a program that normally you would think would be in the top 10 3 years in a row with their roster.”
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
