“We’re really excited about this matchup," Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said. "Our first early game of the year and really have encouraged our fans to show up the way they did our last home game against LSU.

“(Washington State has) played a lot better in the last game and presents a lot of challenges. So they’re really well-coached. Really sound in what they do.

"Their quarterbacks has started playing a lot better than guys were early in the year. So it’s a big challenge for us and one that we’re excited about.”

Here's what Lane Kiffin said of the matchup, pregame updates and a live thread from Saturday morning at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

What Lane Kiffin Said: Week 7 Edition

"They throw the ball really well," Kiffin said of the Cougars. "On defense, they’re sound in what they do and they’ve played some really good games of defense.

"Now, they had some lopsided games like the Washington game, which got out of control late. Both those games, North Texas and Washington, they had a lot of turnovers in the game and that set up really short fields.

"This is a really big challenge for us. Our first early game like this, so hopefully we play well. We practice early every day. That shouldn’t shock our players."
