Those anticipating Lane Kiffin’s debut as the Ole Miss coach will have to wait an extra day.
The 2020 Texas Kickoff, featuring Baylor and Ole Miss, is scheduled to kick off Sunday, Sept. 6, moving from Sept. 5. The game will be played at NRG Stadium in Houston and is slated to be part of ESPN’s Labor Day weekend opening schedule.
The kickoff time for the game has yet to be determined.
“As preparations continue in hopes of starting the 2020 athletics season as scheduled, we are excited to see Ole Miss showcased on this national stage as our football program begins a new era under coach Kiffin’s leadership," Ole Miss AD Keith Carter said in a statement. "With decisions and planning surrounding the college football season ongoing, we hope the Ole Miss family is able to make their plans to join us in Houston, particularly our large family of Texas Rebels.”
The Rebels face off with first-year Baylor coach Dave Aranda, who has been the defensive coordinator at LSU since 2016.
“ESPN’s Sunday game during kickoff weekend has quickly developed into a strong franchise,” Pete Derzis, ESPN senior vice president of programming and ESPN Events, said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing that success as we feature two head coaches in their inaugural games with two great programs. We want to thank the schools and our Texas Kickoff team for recognizing this unique opportunity.”
