A SEC head coach with ties to both programs, Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin has predicted the Alabama Crimson Tide to defeat the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday night.
Kiffin unveiled the prediction as part of an interview during ESPN’s College Gameday in Tuscaloosa on Saturday morning, picking the Crimson Tide over the Bulldogs.
Currently the head coach at Ole Miss, Kiffin was a former offensive coordinator at Alabama from 2014-16 where he helped lead the Crimson Tide to the 2015 national championship. At Alabama, Kiffin was also on staff with current Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, who was the Crimson Tide’s defensive coordinator at the time.
Not the only person to pick the Crimson Tide on College Gameday earlier this morning, will Kiffin’s prediction of an Alabama victory end up coming true tonight in Tuscaloosa?
Lane Kiffin on @CollegeGameDay: "Georgia's got a 40-game winning streak? Regular season? That's Alabama and they're playing on Nick Saban Field tonight, so I gotta go Roll Tide!"
