Can Kiffin turn the tide and achieve first win against Saban on Saturday?
SUMMARY: Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is hoping to secure his first victory over his former boss, Nick Saban, as the Rebels prepare to face Alabama. Kiffin has previously lost all three matchups against Saban since taking over as head coach at Ole Miss. However, last season, Ole Miss came close to defeating Alabama, demonstrating promise and competitiveness. This year, Kiffin is relieved that former Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young is no longer on the Alabama roster. The game will be a challenge for Alabama’s starting signal caller, Jalen Milroe, who will face a defense led by former Saban assistant Pete Golding.

Girlfriend of St. Paddy’s Day killer pleads guilty to misleading law enforcement
SUMMARY: Jenny Lukens, the girlfriend of Jordan Cummins, has pleaded guilty to misleading law enforcement following the shooting deaths of Joshua Spann and Jubilee Simpkins during the 2023 St. Paddy’s Day Parade in Jackson.
