"I wasn't going to let the refs lose the game for us there and some magical flag appear. We put ourselves in a position to win," Kiffin said. "At that point, we're nine penalties to one. We're the second-least penalized team in the country going in. They're 60th in the country, and you go down there and it's very disappointing to have nine flags thrown at you and one at them. That's very hard to deal with."
I know the feeling. I always hated going to play or coach in the Delta- you knew something was going to happen. After 2 holding penalties in 5 games, we get 4 on a Delta trip against an inferior opponent- 2 of them on long TD runs. End up in a tie during a rainstorm. Same way it seems for the playing the top teams in the SEC with national implications on the line.
