"He gave me some Hot Yoga tickets": Kirby Smart takes cheeky dig at Lane Kiffin after Ole Miss HC trolled him over his weight

Georgia coach Kirby Smart responded to a joke his Ole Miss counterpart, Lane Kiffin, threw at him days after the highly anticipated SEC clash on Saturday. The No. 9 Bulldogs beat the No. 5 Rebels 43-35 to improve to 6-1 (4-1 in SEC).

In a post-game interview, Smart took a cheeky dig at Kiffin after the Ole Miss coach joked about his rival's weight.

"I do want to thank Lane. At the end of the game, he gave me some Hot Yoga tickets," the Georgia coach said.

It could be recalled that Kiffin replied to a question in a Monday pregame press conference regarding former Alabama coordinators who burn a lot of calories in every game, and he pointed to Smart.

"I don't know. That's a good question," Kiffin said. "I walked by the TV and saw his press conference today. Doesn't look like he's burned too many calories."

Smart replied during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN" on Friday and thought Kiffin may have done that to mess with his head and get ahead in this all-important clash.

The Georgia coach may have had the last laugh on Saturday, guiding the Bulldogs to a come-from-behind win over the Rebels in a game that could shake up the AP Top 25 after the Week 8 matches conclude.

Stockton-Luckie connection works as Georgia upends Ole Miss

Quarterback Gunner Stockton and tight end Lawson Luckie were on point, conspiring in three touchdown plays to help Georgia beat Ole Miss.

Stockton passed an 11-yarder to Luckie at the start of the second quarter to give the Bulldogs a 10-7 lead. The junior signal-caller went to the 6-foot-4 tight end for another TD in the third that cut the deficit to 28-26.

And when the game was on the line, Stockton darted a seven-yarder to Luckie, who took care of the ball and gave Georgia a 39-35 advantage with 7:29 remaining. Luckie received five passes for 43 yards and came up with three touchdowns, his season-high.

Stockton completed 26 passes in 31 attempts for 289 yards with four touchdowns to outclass Ole Miss counterpart Trinidad Chambliss, who went 19-of-36 for 263 yards and one TD.

Chambliss led the Rebels in rushing with 42 yards in nine carries with 2 TDs, helping Kewan Lacy, who finished with 31 yards and 2 TDs.
