College football rivalry is at its peak. After a chaotic week 13 turned the fate around for many big leagues, another week is up with another sly chance for each team to make some changes to their resume. Although we have less time left on the board as the national championship knocks at the door, there’s still room for reshuffling the reality. Coming to Ole Miss, they have already given up on the playoff hope after a blowout loss to Florida Gators. But they are still in a place to prioritize the Egg Bowl by picking up a statement win against Mississippi State this weekend. But who will be behind the commentary box to articulate every slim narrative around another blockbuster game in the Vaught Hemingway Stadium?

Lane Kiffin and the team are still not sleeping on their narrow hope to jump to the playoff via an Egg Bowl dominance. Well, they are not totally delusional but they need to pray for help from the other teams if in case they manage to walk out with a victory over the Bulldogs. They are no longer in full control of their destiny. The best they can do is to help their fate by getting under the skin of their age-old rival this weekend. Mississippi State, on the other hand, is heading to the game with dual aims. One of them is to break a super-embarrassing 11-game SEC losing spree dating back to last season and another is to escape its first winless league season since 2002. Both teams will be equally hungry to rule the scoreboard and a lot of adrenaline-triggering moments await you sharp at 3:30 p.m. ET on November 29. The voice to take over? The legendary trio of Bob Wischusen, Kris Budden, and Louis Riddick.

Each of the three broadcasting stars had some enviable history of calling top-tier games and garnered a lot of praise from all across the football community. You can be sure of getting another chilling Sunday retrospecting the nitty gritty of a nail-biting game with the three voice scholars from the solace of your drawing room in case you miss a stadium visit.

Wischusen, a college football, basketball, golf, and NHL voice for ESPN has been the iconic New York Jets radio voice. Riddick, the household name of ESPN’s NFL coverage, has now been on a tear during his fourth college football campaign. Budden, on the other hand, is an ABC and ESPN figure, embroiled in both football and basketball and also plays lead sideline reporter for the Men’s College World Series.

However, despite all the outside lure, it’s questionable how much a potential win will cover it up for the Rebels who had a really nasty setback in their sureshot playoff run.

Lane Kiffin has been on the hot seat after a non-forgivable Florida loss

ESPN’s Paul Finebaum didn’t hesitated a bit while putting Lane Kiffin on the gunpoint for all the uncalculated misery. “I mean he’s got talent all over the field and there just isn’t really an excuse. Ole Miss is going to win the National Championship” to ” they’re gonna be out of the playoffs” for him.”We weren’t just talking about Ole Miss being a good SEC team. I mean I sat with people Saturday morning and said Ole Miss is the best team in the country they’re going to win the National Championship. That was not a stretch when they are playing at a peak, like they were against Georgia. So it has to rest somewhere at the top and I blame Lane Kiffin.”

Kiffin, as well, didn’t disown the blame and dubbed the game as a slew of missed opportunities. Getting no score from a missed field goal, going 0-3 in the red zone, unable to dominate the fourth downs, the list of the wrongs will go longer. But that won’t change anything for the Rebels.

If they choose to go above their errors for the past week, they can at least wrap up the season as a three-loss team under Kiffin. Not a substitute for a play hope berth, still a decent record to carry.
