After controling the Furman Paladins in a 76-0 success, the Ole Miss Rebels’ much-awaited 2024 project has actually begun without a drawback.
As long as you’re not counting the opening kickoff.
Among college football’s most just recently developed customs is Ole Miss’ regular for kickoffs. Beginning last fall, when a kickoff at Vaught Hemingway Stadium is ended up, head coach Lane Kiffin’s pet, Juice Kiffin, trots out to the center of the field and obtains the tee.
On Saturday Juice– a Labrador retriever by name and seemingly nature– was an unforeseen addition to the Rebels’ opening-weekend injury list.
Come time for the opening kickoff versus Furman, regardless of reports that Juice would try to offer things a go, the retriever was reduced from uncertain to out. He did still appear on the field.
And in a way that would make his dad proud, he required to his X account to speak about things.

Similar to his coach father, Juice has actually fasted to develop himself as a social networks phenom. His X account boasts over 57,000 fans, with his posts varying from updates on his everyday life to reposts of adoring fans.
His status is uncertain for Ole Miss’ match next week versus the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders.
