👋 Hey College Football Fans,
It would not be too far from the truth to suggest that a large chunk of the college football community wanted to see Kiffin lose. His arrogance combined with his recent antics has turned the LSU coach into the perfect heel against the purists like Dabo Swinney.

Lane Kiffin would have had to face a barrage of criticism had he lost. Expecting humility after a win like that is too much. But sometimes Kiffin forgets he needs to act with a level of maturity expected out of the profession.

Despite winning his season opener against Coastal Carolina, Mountaineers head coach Rich Rodriguez wasn't happy with his team's second-half performance.
"I really thought coming out the first half, we played well in all three phases,” he said. “In the second half we stunk. You know, didn't do anything good."
The Mountaineers jumped out to a dominant 24-0 lead in the first half. However, they had to hold off a furious second-half rally by the Chanticleers, who outscored West Virginia 24-7 in the final two quarters.
