Lane Kiffin says Ole Miss didn't come out flat in Arkansas loss: 'There is a recipe to not winning, it is 3 turnovers'
Lane Kiffin lamented the loss to Arkansas on Saturday as he searched for answers for what went wrong.
“I don’t know. A lot of analytics about hangovers. Just ask LSU,” Kiffin told the media about distractions. “I told the team there is a recipe to not winning, it is 3 turnovers.”
About his message to his players with the Egg Bowl on Thursday, “You don’t have any time to pout and feel bad for yourself because you have a short week, so maybe that’s a good thing.”
Kiffin added that critical penalties took 14 points off the board.
Coach Kiffin on his message to players: “You don’t have any time to pout and feel bad for yourself because you have a short week, so maybe that’s a good thing. We’re going to have to get back on track to play them (State) and they’re dangerous.”

Coach Kiffin: “(Rocket) Sanders had a great game…how many SEC games have you covered where there are three runnings backs with over 200 yards in a game?”

Coach Kiffin: “Very discouraging…..I know it will probably sound crazy, but I didn’t feel like we came out flat… We were moving the ball well. We played really poor in the red zone. Two TD passes called back and we didn’t tackle very well. I give them a lot of credit…

I don’t like the penalties…critical penalties. You get those two TDs and the game is obviously very different. Very discouraging this late in the year to have decision-making issues like that.”

Pathetic excuse for defense. It’s been bad all year, but tonight was not much better than “flag” football.
Turnovers are bad for more than one reason. So they make you lose for more than one reason, additive becomes a psychological multiple.
The world of football is not standing still waiting for any program to return to glory. Dan Divine, Warren Powers, nor even Gary Pinkel, will NOT have some newer more winning twin at Missourah, every again, instead a new above average manager will cross paths with some special athletes and this might play well in the media and a half decade on up to 50 years of top teams might follow.
Kiffin should take inventory of his support and be conservative about moving to his unknown places and no place is as sure as the media tries to make them read. Time gets away from football fans
That was a baaad loss.
We beat you guys too.
Shoulda beat aggie
Coulda beat LSU with QB1
ALMOST bear Liberty
This season was reverse of last…where we made plays to win games. This year we lost on those same plays
Going minor bowling, so it’s not that bad.
Could be aggy.
Looks like the Hogs picked this game to explode. Glad to have the Pit Boss. They don’t really out talent anybody in the SEC but they’re doing pretty well with what they have I think. Crowd was really in it and that always helps. Great home atmosphere and very good looking stadium makes me proud. Grant Morgan’s comments were excellent!
