Lane Kiffin, LSU
What is there to say? Kiffin's Tigers were magnificent in his Baton Rouge debut, obliterating Clemson 51-10. LSU won every phase of the game in spades, but the running game -- led by QB Sam Leavitt and RB Dilin Jones -- stood apart. Honestly, the only hesitation about this performance is whether Clemson deserves more blame than LSU deserves credit. For one week, Kiffin was worth every penny and every bit of headache. Grade: A+
