Ole Miss Beats LSU 32-24 as Joenel Aguero Snubs Lane Kiffin Postgame

Summary
Joenel Aguero drew attention after Ole Miss’s 32-24 win over LSU by appearing to refuse Lane Kiffin’s postgame handshake, turning away to celebrate with teammates as the former Rebels coach was left waiting.
The snub capped Kiffin’s hostile return to Oxford, where fans booed him throughout the day and anti-Kiffin chants broke through ESPN’s College GameDay broadcast.
70,033 fans packed Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and security was unusually heavy — more than 80 state troopers, a helicopter and barriers around LSU buses — reflecting fears tied to Kiffin’s 2025 exit for LSU.
That departure, made two days after Ole Miss’s Egg Bowl win with a College Football Playoff berth still pending, has kept Kiffin a villain in Oxford even as new coach Pete Golding has won fan support.
