Lane Kiffin's debut with No. 11 LSU matches the hype in a 51-10 victory over outmatched Clemson

BATON ROUGE, La. -- , Lane Kiffin's LSU debut was delayed, but by no means derailed. Sam Leavitt complemented his 113 yards and two rushing touchdowns with 230 yards and a TD passing, edge rusher Jordan Ross returned an interception for a score, and No. 11 LSU rode the “Lane Train” to a resounding 51-10 victory over Clemson on Saturday night. “Imagine if we had pro players,” Kiffin said lightheartedly at the end of a brief TV interview at halftime, by which time LSU led 31-3, had outgained Clemson 336 yards to 54, and had 21 first downs to Clemson's one. Kiffin has gotten commitments from two of his former Mississippi players , tight end Dae'Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris , who spent part of this offseason with NFL teams. A Louisiana court ruling cleared the way for him to place them on his roster this week.
