While the game showcased the Rebels’ on-field prowess, it was Kiffin’s daughter, Landry, who turned heads and went viral on social media even before kickoff.
A Game-Day Fashion Statement
Landry Kiffin made a bold fashion statement at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, flaunting an all-red outfit that quickly caught the attention of fans online. Her ensemble, completed with a chic denim jacket, added a touch of casual sophistication to the day’s festivities.

Social Media Buzz
Landry Kiffin has been the subject of significant social media attention in recent days, largely thanks to her father’s playful posts. Earlier in the week, Lane shared a glimpse of her New Year’s Eve outfit, drawing admiration from his followers.
The social media frenzy reached new heights on Thursday afternoon when a Twitter account named “Sgt Blackout” attempted to strike a humorous bet with Kiffin. The user wrote:
“Let’s make a bet @Lane_Kiffin. If you guys don’t cover -17.5 today, I get to take your daughter on a date to my local @Chilis.”
Kiffin didn’t let the comment slide, replying with a witty retort: “She isn’t a Chilis girl.”
The exchange quickly went viral, adding another layer of intrigue to the already highly anticipated game.
A Dominant Performance on the Field
While the social media spotlight shone on Landry, the Rebels delivered an equally dazzling performance on the field. Quarterback Jaxson Dart capped off his college career with a spectacular outing, completing 27-of-35 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns. His connection with wide receiver Jordan Watkins proved unstoppable, as Watkins hauled in seven catches for 180 yards and two scores.
The victory not only secured Ole Miss a bowl game win but also marked back-to-back double-digit win seasons under Kiffin’s leadership. The Rebels finished their 2024 campaign with an impressive 11-3 record, solidifying their status as a powerhouse in the SEC.
A Memorable Season Finale
With the Gator Bowl victory and a standout performance from their star players, the Rebels ended their season on a high note. Lane Kiffin’s ability to blend competitive success with lighthearted moments, like his interactions on social media, continues to endear him to fans.
As for Landry, she won’t need to worry about fielding any unconventional bets from strangers, as Ole Miss more than covered the 17.5-point spread. For the Kiffin family, the Gator Bowl was a celebration of triumphs both on and off the field.
