Ole Miss spent 10 months awaiting Lane Kiffin's return, and the payoff was worth it - CBS Sports

OXFORD, Miss. -- For one night at least, the football gods believed karma was real.

After nearly 10 months of drama and hurt feelings, Ole Miss won the breakup Saturday night.

Ole Miss 32, Lane Kiffin's LSU Tigers 24.

There was an unprecedented level of buildup to Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford for the first time since leaving the program for LSU. On a blisteringly hot day, it was all anyone could talk about in the school's famous Grove tailgating scene. Everywhere you looked, there were signs and pins with funny, sometimes crude, messages about the man they once worshipped, only to become their biggest villain.
