Lane Kiffin is pushing for Peyton and Eli Manning to call Ole Miss-Tennessee game, and that’s a great idea

Lane Kiffin knows what he and football fans want: More Peyton and Eli Manning broadcasting games together.

The two Super Bowl champion brothers were a major highlight during their debut on ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast for the Baltimore Ravens-Las Vegas Raiders game, and fans couldn’t get enough of their reactions, impressions and some behind-the-scenes moments.

They were great, so why not bring them over to the college football side to help with the broadcast of a game between their alma maters? That’s what Kiffin is pushing for when his Ole Miss team takes on Tennessee on the road on October 16.

Stream live college football games every week this season from conferences across the country on ESPN+.

On behalf of football fans everywhere, yes please.

Kiffin is right. This is something football fans everywhere would be into, and ESPN could make this a must-watch game for people beyond Ole Miss’ and Tennessee’s fan bases if it brought the Manning brothers over for a megacast.

Do it, ESPN.

Now headed into Week 3 of college football, No. 17 Ole Miss hosts Tulane on Saturday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2), and Tennessee hosts Tennessee Tech (noon ET, ESPN+).
