Lane Kiffin Fires Back at SEC Coach Over Complaint About Night Kickoffs

At the end of his radio program this week, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko gave a nudge to the local fan base to come on out to Kyle Field for the 7:45 p.m. EST kickoff against New Mexico State, a night game that is becoming commonplace for the Aggies, who will now have four primetime night games this season. 

That's been something of a point of contention around the SEC, especially for Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, who complained back in late October about the preferential treatment that LSU has gotten when it comes to scheduling primetime games. 

"Another night game at Kyle Field,” Elko said of the upcoming contest against NMSU, which is a 39.5-point underdog at BetMGM. “We appreciate those. Apparently, that’s all we play anymore. 

When the host of the radio show, Andrew Monaco, piped in with, "And Lane Kiffin's ticked," Elko laughed and responded: "We get them all and Lane wants more, so that’s OK. Him and I, we’ll swap next year or something.”
