Kiffin’s team prevailed in the 45-40 instant classic over Clemson but when the offensive coordinator jumped on social media it was not to celebrate his win, but to ask the question posed by his son.
“Dad how many days till we play USC?” Kiffin’s son Knox asked his dad.
Well, Knox, the answer (as of January 12) is: 234 days until the Trojans and the Rolling Tide kick off at Jerry World aka AT&T Stadium in Arlington on September 3.
Of course the Kiffin post-game saga was actually coming to its end when he posted the picture of his son Tuesday morning.
