Lane Kiffin to USC: Do college coaches have any integrity?
Posted by Chris Cwik in College Football on January 13, 2010
I can’t believe I am saying this, but was Al Davis right all along? When Davis fired Kiffin after only a year and a half it just confirmed the obvious; the Oakland Raiders were still one of the worst run franchises in professional sports. Many critics felt that Davis rushed to a decision after only giving Kiffin twenty games to prove himself. Only a year and a half later, it looks as if Davis was right all along. Of course, no one in Southern California wants to hear about any of that. Honestly though, how does Lane Kiffin keep getting work?

Bama Beats LSU 24-15, Secures SEC West

Alabama running back Mark Ingram helps Bama run past LSU for the first time in Tuscaloosa since 1999
Saban Bowl III lived up to the hype and LSU made their old coach sweat a bit more than he would have liked too Saturday afternoon. The #9 LSU Tigers led most of the game and had some opportunities to continue their winning streak at Tuscaloosa, but couldn’t pull it out.
Since I give myself some time to write these recaps, I get a chance to read other articles about LSU’s games to see how my thoughts stacked up. A common key play among writers was the incomplete pass, that appeared to be a Patrick Peterson interception to everyone south of the Mason-Dixon line, that Greg McElroy threw with about 7 minutes left in the game. As a result, Alabama took more time off the clock and kicked a field goal, giving the Tide a nine point lead with 3:04 left. Now people can whine till the cows come home about the call and the SEC officiating this season and they can, but think about this.
IF McElroy’s pass was ruled an interception, here is what would have been the situation.
1. LSU ball on their 31 with 6:26, trailing 21-15
2. Jordan Jefferson was out of the game, so Jarrett Lee would have to lead the charge
3. Charles Scott was also knocked out of the game
