Bad boy Lane Kiffin breaks Dabo Swinney, as LSU’s villain rises in Clemson rout

BATON ROUGE, LA – The villain rises.

Lane Kiffin is college football’s bad boy, but he was the one delivering the spanking at Tiger Stadium.

Belt to heinie, No. 13 LSU gave No. 23 Clemson a whupping.

Dabo, anything more you'd like to say?

Nobody wears the black hat quite as proudly as LSU, and it will relish being the villain, and employing the bad boy, so long as it comes with more results like this.

Dabo Swinney never before looked so helpless. Clemson's coach got one thing right: His team is, indeed, filled with a bunch of nobodies.

The game was over before the first quarter ended. Kiffin was pumping his fist, cheerleaders were hugging each other, and a football revival began on this night in Death Valley. With nobody to stop the fight, the bludgeoning continued until it ended like this: LSU 51, Clemson 10.

“Imagine if we had pro players,” Kiffin told ABC at halftime.

Admit it, that’s kind of funny. Go ahead and laugh. Sometimes, the villain’s got jokes.

Trust Week 1 impressions at your own risk, but LSU appears loaded. It never needed NFL castoffs, try though Kiffin did to add a couple.

Hey, what…
