Lane Kiffin’s return to Neyland Stadium was one of the most anticipated events in college football from the moment he took the Ole Miss job. On Saturday, fans finally got what they wanted.
Kiffin took a walk onto the field in Knoxville, Tenn. about an hour before kickoff in Saturday night’s game between the Vols and Rebels. He got booed and waved to the fans.

Kiffin had been well-aware that Neyland was going to be a hostile environment. He said during the week that playing in Knoxville would be “challenging.”
