Lane Kiffin provided his thoughts on a scary sideline incident in which an Ole Miss team doctor collapsed on the sideline and received EMS care until he was able to get onto his feet and walk off the field.
The doctor was taken to a local hospital shortly after.
As the Clarion-Ledger reported, Kiffin commented on the instance after the game, citing his personal connection with Dr. Kurre Luber.
“That was scary,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said. “I didn’t see right when it happened with Dr. Luber. He’s been awesome around here. He’s been awesome to my family. Great man. That was a really scary moment when he wasn’t moving.”
The team grouped around Luber and stood in prayer until he was able to walk off the field. Both Ole Miss and Oklahoma fans applauded Luber as he left the vicinity.
“I told (defensive end) Jared (Ivey) when we got everyone together and prayed, I said, ‘That was a pretty powerful prayer’ because right as we got done praying he stood up,’ ” Kiffin said. “It was pretty neat that he was back. We saw him after. A lot better than what we were initially worried about.”
The Rebels were leading 26-14 in the fourth quarter when Luber went down, and they held on to win by the same margin.
