Coach Kiffin, whose team is ranked sixth in the nation, felt Tuesday was a good time to take some friendly jab at his fellow SEC coaches.

LSU's matchup against USC was much tougher, as Trojans quarterback Miller Moss led his team on an eight-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a Woody Marks rushing touchdown with eight seconds left in the game.
“We had some guys play their hearts out tonight and here we are sitting here talking about it again! About not making the shot when they had it in position to make it. But what we're doing on the sideline is just feeling like the game is over,” Kelly said after the game.
“I'm so angry and I have to do something. I haven't done a good enough job as a coach. I have to coach better. It's unacceptable that we didn't find a way to win this football game. It's ridiculous.”
