“Kyle asked at halftime if we wanted to let the game clock run in the second half so it would be shorter, you know, because of the score. I was adamantly against it because I wanted to see these guys play, you know,” said Kiffin. “They worked really hard. Really got a lot of good players all around, especially the linemen.”

“You know, and the fans that stayed? I wanted them to, you know, get their full value of their ticket,” Kiffin said.
