As Ole Miss prepares to take on Tennessee in what should be one of the highest scoring games of the college football weekend, former Volunteers coach Lane Kiffin is taking an interesting strategy to prepare for the game.

Yes, Kiffin is blaring “Rocky Top” at Ole Miss practices throughout the week as they get set to head to Knoxville for what should be an incredible matchup.
Both offenses run a super up-tempo style and it's helped both Ole Miss and Tennessee get off to fast starts this season.
Per 247sports, this matchup is one that the Ole Miss coach certainly looks forward to while recognizing it will be a challenge.
“We have a lot of work to do, and we're getting ready for a challenging place to play. It's on schedule to be their first sellout in years so it's a very loud place, especially at night, and their team's playing extremely well with two conference blowouts in a row, lighting up on offense. This is going to be extremely challenging.”
Out of all the stops for Kiffin that have him landed currently at Ole Miss, his time at Tennessee ranks right up at the top for one big reason.
“I said something in some article last week about houses where we lived and they asked, ‘what was your favorite house and where you lived' and I said the house in Knoxville. They said why and it was a great house and a great set up with the river, but the people. Really enjoyed the people there, still in contact with a number of them and will see some of them Saturday.”
Get the popcorn ready for this one on Saturday.
