Lane Kiffin went ballistic on an official while looking for an offsides call

During the second quarter of a matchup against Texas A&M, LSU coach Lane Kiffin erupted in anger at a game official after a missed offsides penalty on a crucial fourth down. Instead of attempting to snap the football, quarterback Sam Leavitt stepped away from the center while Kiffin launched into a lengthy sideline tirade that exhausted the play clock and resulted in a delay of game penalty against the Tigers.

Analyst Jesse Palmer noted that snapping the ball immediately might have successfully drawn the flag, but the sequence ultimately forced LSU to punt from deep territory.

Despite the costly mistake and Kiffin's visible frustration with the officiating crew, the Tigers' defense quickly rebounded by forcing a quick three-and-out. The stop sparked a subsequent 83-play touchdown drive that extended LSU's advantage to 14-3 before the halftime intermission.
