Summary

In this edition of Game Runs Deep, Sudu Upadhyay and Ben Garrett of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 dive into the Lane Kiffin-to-Florida rumors. While neither thinks it’s going to happen, Kiffin, who’s in his sixth Ole Miss season, very well could leave for Florida. But the argument of ‘Florida is just the better program’ is an outdated way of looking at modern college football. 

Nick Douglas stops by to preview his new book, Where Did Our Game Go: Inside College Football’s Billion-Dollar Transformation. The guys also preview Week 9, including Ole Miss’ second Top 15 road trip, this time to Oklahoma.
