Lane Kiffin's Scheme Puts Ole Miss-LSU In Jeopardy | Golding Liked More Than You Think

A federal judge hears the SEC's arguments for a temporary restraining order against LSU at 1 p.m. Wednesday — and granting it may clear the path for the conference's expulsion vote scheduled for Thursday. Steven Willis explains why today's hearing matters more than tomorrow's vote, and what any of it does to Ole Miss-LSU on September 19.

Also: the framing that the SEC keeps beating LSU in court is wrong. Every order actually issued has gone LSU's way, and the federal judge in Alabama has ruled on nothing. What the SEC has done is escalate.

Then Pete Golding, who stood at the podium 1-0 after the best win of the weekend and told everybody not to look at the scoreboard. And three players: Patrick Kutas, Kam Franklin and Caleb Odom.

Three days to Charlotte. Ten to LSU.

📌 THREE THINGS

1. Ole Miss is the first domino. LSU has not played a conference game — they opened against Clemson. Their first SEC game on the schedule is the one in Vaught-Hemingway on September 19. That makes this the cheapest week of the season to expel them: no conference results to void, no standings to rewrite. It also means whatever those presidents decide lands on Ole Miss first. Four outcomes for the 19th: conference game, non-conference game, played under protest, or no game.

2. Golding refused to sell the win. "Yes, the outcome was 1-0. But if you're just looking at that and not looking at the guts of this thing, then we're going to be on the other side of this before too long." He ruled out the frightening explanation for the secondary — "their Jimmies are better than our Joes, that's a bad feeling… that wasn't this" — and named the real one: day-one camp calls that weren't communicated. Asked about Johntay Cook, he said plainly he was surprised, and that it has to be corrected.

3. Caleb Odom couldn't see. He explained that bad vision he never got fixed was behind last season's drops. He wears contacts now, added weight to block defensive ends, and the 18-yard third-down conversion on the game-winning drive was a play the offense had rehearsed in every two-minute drill since spring.
