Ole Miss’ September 27 showdown against LSU is going to be quite an exciting one. Both teams are entering this game undefeated, and both come with some serious firepower. But this game is not just about a clash between ranked teams. It almost seems like a loose adaptation of a Hollywood epic. Lane Kiffin and his offensive genius will be facing off against his daughter’s beau, and the star of LSU’s defense, Whit Weeks. However, his dad seems to be catching strays now.

Landry Kiffin only recently hard-launched her relationship with Whitt. The player is an anchor in the Tigers’ secondary and comes from a football family. There’s a lot to like about him. Whitt, the sibling of LSU linebackers West and Zach Weeks, comes from a football family, being the son of David Weeks, a former OL at Georgia. He is now known for his entrepreneurial success in Athens. But Will Muschamp, who played with David during his college career, was ready to throw shade at his longtime friend.

“Believe me, they [Weeks brothers] got their athleticism from their mom, Erin,” Muschamp said in a recent episode of WAFB‘s Jacques Talks. “Because Dave was an offensive lineman and had two left feet,” he added. Muschamp later went back to call David a “good player,” and had some fond words for Whit. He helped Georgia recruit him, so he knows what the star LB is capable of. “The guy’s just got a great temperament for the game, really good football intelligence. But the guy is a hell of an athlete. I mean, the guy can really run, change direction, can play with power, and can change direction in short areas extremely well. Very instinctive,” he added.

Whit has 7 QB pressures and a 90.0 PFF pass rush grade so far. He was the 2nd-best LB last season in the SEC when it came to pressures. He can even turn out to be a frontrunner for the Butkus Award this year, already impressing audiences. Whit Weeks is part of a side that ranks 17th in the country in total defense. It’s going to be a highly charged affair between the two teams this Saturday. It’s going to be family vs family, while love looks on from a distance. Landry Kiffin sure is going the extra mile in this budding romance.

Landry Kiffin makes an early-morning drive to surprise Whit Weeks

Landry Kiffin is still a devout Rebel, despite finding a lover in the rival camp. Lane Kiffin has also stamped his approval for the relationship, calling Whit an “awesome kid.” But love makes people do a lot of bold things, and Landry was no exception. Recently, she drove for 5 hours to her boyfriend in Baton Rouge, just to make his day and surprise him. Landry also put him through some misery by telling him earlier that she wouldn’t be able to make it to the Ole Miss game. But Landry started at 3 in the morning from home to get to Whit, which is proof that this bond is not a casual one. She shared the journey on TikTok.

Landry announced her relationship with Whit just 5 days before the clash. Fans have since joked about her being Lane Kiffin’s secret weapon, who was really just gathering intel for her dad. But sometimes, a girl likes to pull out all the stops in a relationship. Landry was simply doing just that. Their relationship is going to be a talking point during Saturday’s games. Lane Kiffin might be enjoying some superiority over LSU and can even pull off an upset win.

This is going to be a situation where one team makes up for what the other lacks. LSU’s defense, starring Whit Weeks, will meet its match in Lane Kiffin and the Rebels’ offense. Will Kiffin prove to be the better player here? Or will Whit Weeks defeat Kiffin in his home, while his daughter watches?
