Ole Miss Football vs. Kentucky: How to Watch, Kickoff Time and Week 2 Betting Odds

No. 20 Ole Miss returns to action in Week 2 with an SEC showdown against the Kentucky Wildcats at Kroger Field on the docket.

Lane Kiffin and Co. have circled the Southeastern Conference matchup against the Wildcats after dropping last season's meeting.

"We spent a lot of time this off-season on Kentucky. That was a really hard loss to deal with, especially with the offensive struggles in the game," Kiffin said on the SEC Teleconfernce. "We’ve paid a lot of attention to that film.

"It’s so many new players, especially on the front, that have come in and are still playing great Kentucky defense," Kiffin added. "Really, just, what [Stoops] always does — finds a way to get new players over there and basically play better than the last place they were at."

Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons will make his SEC starting debut in Week 2 in Lexington with all eyes on the redshirt-sophomore on Saturday afternoon.

Simmons is coming off of his first career start against Georgia State where he tallied over 300 passing yards and multiple touchdowns on the day.

Now, all eyes are on Week 2 at Kentucky with Ole Miss looking to make statement on the road against an SEC foe.

A look into the game information, final betting lines and final thoughts from Kiffin prior to the matchup.

Lane Kiffin's Thoughts: Week 2 Edition

“Big-time SEC matchup. One that’s been very competitive, even before we got here,” Kiffin said on this week’s SEC Coaches Teleconference.

“Games down to the wire. We’ve got to go play an extremely well-coached team that does a great job and plays very physical. Look how they started last year — beat us [and] right before has Georgia right down to the wire. Coach [Mark] Stoops does a great job with these guys. We’re going to have our hands full.”
