WATCH: Juice Kiffin's Kickoff Appearance at Ole Miss vs. Mercer Game
A special member of the Kiffin family made an appearance midfield at Saturday's game between the Ole Miss Rebels and Mercer Bears. Lane Kiffin's yellow Labrador Retriever, Juice, retrieved the kickoff tee midfield, gaining a roar of approval from fans at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
Juice has been helping lead the team through the Walk of Champions beside Lane Kiffin and helping lead the team's run-out before kickoff. Juice has been named the 'unoffical' Ole Miss mascot. What will he do next?
'Juice' even made a comment about his midfield performance on his Twitter account.
The Rebels dominated Mercer from start to finish on Saturday, picking up a 73-7 win to open the 2023 season. It was also a record-setting day for wide receiver Tre Harris who set a new school record for receiving touchdowns in a single game with four.
"We had a bunch of explosive plays we knew we could hit," Harris said in postgame. "We came out there and executed really well and they hit. It was a good day for everybody."
The Rebels now prepare for a ranked road trip as they head to New Orleans this week to face the Tulane Green Wave. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
