Emotions were high on Saturday night, as LSU football's head coach Lane Kiffin returned to Mississippi to play Ole Miss. Kiffin left Ole Miss to coach at LSU. The Rebels would go on to defeat the Tigers, 32-24.

A LSU coach got into it with the Ole Miss student section, but it wasn't Kiffin. It was actually LSU running backs coach Kevin Smith.

“LSU’s Kevin Smith says the best RBs to come through Ole Miss are because of him,” Bleacher Report posted to Instagram. “Smith spent a total of 5 seasons as the Rebels’ RB coach.”

There was also video posted of Smith engaging with the crowd. Smith was one of several former Ole Miss coaches who went to Baton Rouge with Kiffin.

There was quite a lot of jawing between the Ole Miss student section and LSU personnel. An LSU player also engaged with the student section, walking by them and talking to the crowd. That player is familiar to Ole Miss fans.

“Princewill Umanmielen followed Lane Kiffin to LSU after transferring from Ole Miss,” Bleacher Report added in another Instagram post.

Ole Miss got some revenge on Kiffin on Saturday night. The Rebels jumped out to a big lead, then held on in the second half to come away with a victory.

“I told our team, ‘I don't think anybody came here to beat LSU,'” Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding said, per ESPN. “That's not what our goal was coming in. Yes, is it sweet? Absolutely. Go enjoy tonight. But we've got to come back to work. … It wasn't our Super Bowl, and we didn't make it out to be our Super Bowl.”

The Rebels got a great performance out of their quarterback, Trinidad Chambliss. He threw for 363 passing yards and two touchdowns.

“This one meant a lot more than other games,” Chambliss said. “The coaches that were here, now at LSU — and some players as well — we've just been looking forward to it. I wanted this one really bad.”

Ole Miss is now 3-0 on the season.
