We are just three weeks away from the start of the 2020 SEC football season but the COVID-19 pandemic still continues to put a question mark on whether or not the season will start on time.
One SEC coach is continuing to doubt it. From 247Sports:
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin joined the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday to discuss a variety of topics about the upcoming football season. While talking about the COVID-19 pandemic, Kiffin mentioned that two SEC schools told him on Thursday morning that if they had to play a game today, they could not actually field a team.
“This isn’t 100 percent,” Kiffin said on the show. “You know, we’ve still got a ways to go to get through this because there are some teams right now in the SEC — you know, I heard from two coaches today, that there’s no way they could play that game this week.
Auburn has been hit hard recently with at least 16 players sitting out of practice during this past week. The Tigers are scheduled to play Kentucky on Sept. 26 in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
