Kiffin Whiffed, Choked in LSU’s Loss to Tide, Finebaum Says

Finebaum said Kiffin was "punked" after LSU went 0-4 on fourth down and missed red-zone chances in the loss to Alabama.

  • LSU fell 31-13 to Alabama in Baton Rouge on Saturday, leaving the Tigers with long-shot College Football Playoff hopes despite Sam Leavitt passing for 380 yards.
  • Despite outgaining Alabama 457-285, the Tigers failed on all four fourth-down attempts and struggled in the red zone, managing only one touchdown.
  • Lane Kiffin remains winless against the Crimson Tide, dropping to 0-6 in his coaching career; his closest effort was Tennessee's 12-10 loss to Alabama in 2009.
  • ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum eviscerated Kiffin on Sunday, calling the game a "horror show" and criticizing actor Kevin Costner as a "stage prop" during Tiger Walk.
  • Now sitting outside the playoff picture with three losses, Kiffin faces pressure following his seven-year, $91 million contract signed last Thanksgiving, as critics question if he is "all sizzle and no substance.
