"This'll be a great game today, it's a very passionate rivalry," Kiffin said when asked about defining the Ole Miss-Mississippi State rivalry. "I mean, shoot, at 10 o'clock last night, luckily, Ken Crain, our equipment manager put secret cameras in the locker room so we could watch Mississippi State [fans] break into our locker room and start stealing things.
"We reported to Mississippi State, they said 'we'll put security [outside].' And how about this, at 3 o'clock in the morning, they break in again and take Trinidad's jersey. I guess you'd expect nothing less from these [fans]."
Chambliss, in a new jersey, continued hissolid seasonin Friday's38-19 winover the Bulldogs with 359 passing yards and four touchdowns. He now has 3,016 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on the season, along with 470 yards and six touchdowns on the ground.
