Lane Kiffin Opens Up About a Major Decision He Regrets After Alabama Loss
Follow
Lane Kiffin’s LSU Tigers fell 31-13 to Alabama, dropping to 6-3 on the season after the Crimson Tide rallied from a 13-10 deficit in the third quarter and added two fourth‑quarter touchdowns. Kiffin defended his aggressive fourth‑down strategy against Alabama, noting the team went for it four times and failed each attempt, including a fourth‑and‑four in the second quarter instead of a 26‑yard field goal.
The coach also said a different call still haunts him: in the overtime loss to Kentucky, LSU punted on a short fourth‑down instead of staying alive, a decision he said he would take back after the 35-34 defeat. Kiffin told the Brandon Walker College Football Show that the earlier third‑and‑one stop in that game weighs on him daily, though he maintains he does not regret moving from Ole Miss to LSU.
