The habit gets a new name.
Lane Kiffin’s return to Knoxville is a familiar ritual, complete with hostility and heckling. His security team’s past advice to wear a bulletproof vest might be reconsidered this time around. The students’ section was asked to leave during his last visit, and trash littered the field. Heupel wants the fans to be riled up, but not violent. Kiffin’s debut season at LSU will be eventful, to say the least.
