Lane Kiffin comments on benches clearing

Heading into the half, Lane Kiffin commented on the benches clearing in the Egg Bowl.

“Well, we just trying to play clean football, man. We try to execute and play really good football. For a whole sideline to try to fight and leave their whole sideline, including their athletic director? I just didn’t like it. So, I’m just reminding them, like, we’re trying to play football here. We’re not trying to start a fight so our university can get credit for fighting people.

“We’re good,” Kiffin said, when asked if he needed to address the fighting with his own team. “Our guys stayed on the sideline like they’re supposed to.”
