Lane Kiffin's LSU problems keep mounting: Criminal investigation launched for Tigers player's alleged sexual assault

Last weekend did not go as Lane Kiffin had it planned. Making a return to Ole Miss , this time as a villain of the Rebels, Kiffin watched as his LSU Tigers lost the game 32-24 on a fourth quarter touchdown from Trinidad Chambliss - the star quarterback he helped recruit to Ole Miss before leaving.

It was definitely a hostile environment for Kiffin, although it wasn't nearly as bad as some expected. Now, Kiffin's attention must shift to getting LSU back on track . A bounce-back won't come easy, as No. 23 Texas A&M are coming to visit. As if Kiffin didn't have enough to stress about, there's now a concerning legal situation unfolding with an LSU player .
