"They have done a great job, and Brian Kelly spoke on how they spent a lot of money in the portal this time around," Kiffin explained, "And it's paid off, like for most people."

"I think the numbers were that Miami, Texas Tech, and LSU spent the most money in the portal, and look how they are playing. It usually pays off well. And they have done a great job on defense."

"It's a very abnormal Louisiana defense, as they have one starter from Louisiana. It just shows that three of their starters on the defensive line and three guys in the secondary are portal guys. It's just different from the old ways of building."

"A lot of credit to them for embracing the portal. Now they're by far the most talented defense since we have been here playing them. Not even close."
