Think the kid spills his guts now that he's been fired?

Hard to believe he came up with this scheme and acted on his own.

I refuse to believe that a coach that would have players change jersey numbers in the middle of a game to try and gain a competitive advantage had anything to do with cheating.

This & that.
Kiffin is a fucking clown. How he got the USC job is beyond me. He's done nothing to earn such a job.

Christ, you are so full of shit. The rules prohibit "Changing numbers during the game to deceive the opponent." So it's not cheating if the backup QB misplaces his jersey at halftime and is forced to wear a different number. The change isn't being made to deceive the other team, it was made because he needed a new jersey, you see. Totally legit.

Ah yes. Makes complete sense. Thank you for settings straight.

USC is such a shitbag program. There is absolutely no integrity there. Dirtbag coach that succeeded a cheating coach, countless players that did nothing with their NFL careers because they didn't care enough, and countless little things like this. And on top of that their uniforms suck. I really do not like USC. They are everything that is wrong with college football.

USC coach Lane Kiffin says manager deflating footballs acted alone - ESPN Los Angeles

The Pac-12 accepted USC's self-discipline Wednesday, reprimanded the school and added a $25,000 fine to the football program.

In defense of USC, it is odd that only one side of the field had the deflated balls. You'd think they would want them all that way for consistency.

I suspect not Kiffin or Barkley but a premier receiver. USC specifically said who it wasn't. They didn't mention Lee or Woods in that statement and they would have the most to benefit.
