Alabama denied Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin’s request to let his team wear its orange jerseys against the Crimson Tide. NCAA rules allow both teams to wear colored jerseys if they agree.
Alabama refused. No doubt Coach Nick Saban remembered something Kiffin said in the offseason.
Of course, Pete Carroll would have done it anyways, but Kiffin does not want to take a 15-yard penalty after the opening kickoff. He’s not Carroll.
