Quinshawn Lacy is staying at Ole Miss, calling it the right place to keep building on his breakout 2025 season—where he rushed for over 1,500 yards and scored 24 touchdowns. Despite Lane Kiffin’s departure, Lacy stayed focused, crediting his bond with returning QB Trinidad Chambliss, whom he calls his “dog” and credits for their success. With both stars returning, they’re set to open the season against Louisville and face LSU—where Kiffin once coached—on September 19th. Lacy’s laser focus on the field and team chemistry make this season a must-watch.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian sparked a firestorm after joking about Ole Miss’s “basket weaving” classes and easy degrees, contrasting it with Texas’s strict academic credit policy. He insists the comments were taken out of context and that he faces no official penalty — though Ole Miss pushed the SEC to intervene. The fallout highlights the ongoing tension between athletic competitiveness and academic standards in college sports, with Sarkisian standing firm as the dust settles.

Kewan Lacy is staying at Ole Miss for 2026, ready to lead the Rebels into a new era under new head coach Pete Golding — even as he prepares to face his former coach, Lane Kiffin, now at LSU. Lacy’s breakout 2025 season — 1,500+ rushing yards, 24 TDs, and a standout 224-yard game vs. Florida — fueled playoff hopes, though they fell to Miami in the semifinals. With Kiffin’s departure before the playoff and his return to the gridiron against his old team, Lacy’s focus remains on the field, and fans are buzzing about a potential national title run. The Rebels open 2026 against Louisville, then square off against LSU on Sept. 19 — a matchup that’s already heating up.
