No. 11 LSU dismantled Clemson 51-10 in the season opener for both teams last night in Baton Rouge.
With his team leading 31-3 at halftime, head coach Lane Kiffin took time to troll Clemson head man Dabo Swinney and really the entire college football world during a live interview.
“It took everything for me not to say ‘imagine if we had pros,'” Kiffin said sarcastically as he walked away from the interview.

After the game, Kiffin tried to justify his fight to allow pro players back on his college roster.
“I have been criticized heavily the last two weeks, and I get it. But my job is to not please you and what you are going to write. My job is what I believe is right — and I believe we were fighting for what is right for those kids,” Kiffin said.
