Who would have thought that a heated clash at the Magnolia Bowl between LSU and Ole Miss would turn into an absolute cinema? For Lane Kiffin, this game wasn’t just about a conference battle but a family affair, as his daughter Landry made her relationship public with Tigers LB Whit Weeks. Imagine the intensity on the field. But then comes the concerning part, as the heat got right into Weeks, and he ended up unwell. That’s not the start he was hoping for.

Looks like fate’s turning real ugly for Whit Weeks this season. First, he got ejected against Florida for targeting when Gators WR Vernell Brown’s helmet made contact with his, and now? His health is keeping him from playing his best game. With just 6 minutes left in the first quarter and LSU up 7-0 before an offensive play, Weeks was seen vomiting on the sidelines. Despite that, he didn’t leave the field, but if you see him missing any play, you might understand the reason behind it.

Now, Barstool Sports hits X with the video of the entire situation and puts up the most sarcastic caption possible. “You gotta wonder if Whit Weeks attended any family dinners at the Kiffin household this week.” Well, it’s either the dinner or the morning breakfast, which didn’t turn out well for Whit Weeks, but one thing is for sure: LSU needs him to stay healthy, as he’s an important part of Brian Kelly’s defense. And his resume shows why. With an 86.2 grade across all aspects of the game, with 76.4 on run defense and 79.8 for tackling, which reflects high-level performance across all aspects of the game. Weeks’ caliber is pretty much evident.

But this isn’t the only concerning part. After throwing up, Whit Weeks went into the field for the second quarter and appeared to have injured his wrist while making a tackle, after which he went to the sidelines. He didn’t go to the medical tent, but for the entire defensive drive, he was sitting out with his trainers and brother Zach. The worst part is when your leading tackler loses momentum in the game, as Weeks made the most tackles through the first quarter with 4 stops.

Before the Florida game, Whit Weeks was ejected in two games. He made 7 tackles, including a half sack and one tackle for loss. But in his game against Ole Miss, adversity kept hitting him and his team. The Rebels dominated them with a 24-19 margin and won this rivalry game! But despite all of it, fans aren’t leaving Whit Weeks without making it tougher for him.

Fans turn harsh on Whit Weeks

The game began with a lot of drama for Whit Weeks since Landry Kiffin made their relationship public. And after he got injured during the game, everyone kept coming at Lane Kiffin, blaming it all on him. Look, during the first quarter, Ole Miss’s offense kept the ball for a while because that heat might have triggered dehydration for Weeks, but then fans turned it all on Kiffin, making things worse for them. As this fan came straight to it and said, “What did Lane do to Whit Weeks? 😂”

The worst part is they didn’t just stop at that; they even made fun of Whit Weeks’ health while he was throwing up. This fan pointed at his hand gesture while puking and didn’t leave a single room for kindness, considering how serious it could get. As they said, “Why’d the mane try to catch it?????” Was he gonna put it back in??? F—–g hell. Ejected early last week. Now puking. S–t.” But adversity kept hitting him all night.

First, Weeks was caught throwing up, then he even had a possible hand injury, and later, he also had an apparent lower leg injury after trying to make a tackle in the fourth quarter, which kept him out of the game. But even then, fans were only trying to draw parallels with Lane Kiffin and trying to drag him into the entire situation. Just like this one: “Not at all celebrating this, but there’s something brutally ironic about Whit Weeks getting hurt in this game.”

Then comes in the direct jab as this fan turned the entire game dynamics into a family matter and said, “Lane Kiffin put out a targeting hit on Whit Weeks lmao,” despite Lane Kiffin’s clear stance on Weeks’ relationship with his daughter. “Whit is an awesome kid and comes from a great family,” Kiffin said. “I’m glad those two are happy together. It has nothing to do with the game itself. It’s a really great family.”

But at last, this fan summed it all up pretty well with the “That’s wild” comment. And that’s exactly how this matchup turned out for both LSU and Ole Miss. Now, let’s hope Whit Weeks returns fine against South Carolina in their next game.
