More Kiffin

Lane Kiffin praised the offensive line tonight and said even though USC ran the ball well against Minnesota, the line did not play fast enough.
Minnesota seems to make everyone look good. Northern Illinois tailback Chad Spann rushed for a career-high 223 yards (on just 15 carries) and two touchdowns as the Huskies
defeated Minnesota, 34-23.

Turnover Rules

I asked Lane Kiffin about his comment that he pulls tailbacks from the game after turning the ball over and whether quarterbacks are also accountable?
“No, I don’t believe you can pull the quarterback for it,” Kiffin said. “The quarterback is the rhythm of the offense. Interceptions happen. Fumbles shouldn’t happen. There’s no excuse for that. We have a problem with that.”
