"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 has been one of the top signal callers in the SEC this season, throwing for 2,657 yards, 14 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions. He's been effective on the ground as well with 444 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
Ole Miss has won four out of the past five meetings between the schools and entered Friday ranked No. 7 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings at 10-1.
As the Rebels hunt for a national title, Kiffin's future remains a mystery with the coaching carousel still spinning and Kiffin reportedly being courted by the likes of LSU and Florida.
On Saturday, a decision on Kiffin's future is expected — either by him or Ole Miss administrators.
