re: Looking for opinions other than Bama fans: Is Kiffin a top 5 OC in the country?

Kiffin just lead the offense to set the Bama all time yardage gained in a single day, ever.

Hmmm... might want to double check that.

The Aub fan is correct. The all time total offense record for a single day was 1973 vs. VT 833 yards (748 rushing) team record. The total for Alabama vs. Florida was 672.

But Kiffin helped a converted RB turned QB break the all time individual record for yardage gained in a single game. Blake Sims threw for 445 yards and 39 rushing yards for 484 total yards, breaking Scott Hunter's 457 total yard record vs. Auburn in 1969.

Cooper also broke a Bama record. Cooper led all receivers with 201 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 10 catches. In doing that, Cooper increased his career total to 20 touchdown catches, and he now holds the school record for receiving touchdowns for his career, passing Dennis Homan (1965-67) who previously held the record with 18.
