Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels continue preparation for Saturday's Top-15 SEC showdown against No. 4 LSU with all eyes set to be on the matchup at Vaught Hemingway Stadium.

The pair of programs will enter the contest riding four-game winning streaks with Kiffin's crew looking to make a statement in Oxford.

“Really excited for this challenge. To play at home and for first place in the SEC and to play a top three team in the country in LSU is an awesome opportunity for us," Kiffin said on Wednesday's SEC Teleconference.

"So, got to continue to have a great week of preparation. These guys probably have the best roster, since we’ve been here, from top to bottom and we’re going to have to prepare and play really well.”

Lane Kiffin's Take: Simmons Not Listed on Report

“I think you phrased it what led us to leaving him off (the report) and playing him when he was available. That’s why we left him off, because he was available. It is a availability report. It’s not a specific injury report. If a player’s available, he’s available and he was and played in the game.

“I’m going with what I was told by the league and how to operate on it. It’s an availability report and if a player is going to be available to play then they shouldn’t be on there. I’m following direct orders from the league.”
