'Hey Lane, (expletive) you!' Fan hurls F-bomb at Lane Kiffin as Alabama thrashes LSU
Follow
Lane Kiffin’s first season at LSU took another brutal turn Saturday as the Crimson Tide dismantled the Tigers 31-13 in Baton Rouge, extending Kiffin’s losing streak against Alabama to 0-6. The game began with LSU holding a 13-10 lead in the third quarter, but Alabama’s defense stifled the Tigers in the red zone, holding them to just one touchdown on four possessions.
Kiffin’s decision-making came under fire early, including a fourth-down gamble inside the 10-yard line that backfired, while costly turnovers and a missed field goal compounded LSU’s struggles. The loss further dimmed the Tigers’ playoff hopes, leaving them at 6-3 overall and 3-3 in SEC play, while Kiffin’s $91 million contract faces mounting scrutiny after another humiliating defeat in Death Valley.
Off-field tensions flared as well, with fans directing explicit chants at Kiffin and heated exchanges between coaches and officials. The game also drew high-profile spectators, including First Lady Melania Trump and actor Kevin Costner, though their presence did little to ease the Tigers’ frustration.
Alabama’s dominance—outscoring LSU 21-3 in the final two quarters—highlighted the Tigers’ defensive struggles and Kiffin’s inability to overcome the team’s historical difficulty against the Crimson Tide.
