LOS ANGELES (AP) -After coach Lane Kiffin spent last week haranguing his Southern California players about their 11 penalties in the Trojans’ season opener, they went out and committed 13 more.
So Kiffin is done discussing it. The first-year coach says he won’t mention penalties while No. 18 USC prepares to visit Minnesota on Saturday.
The Trojans’ 240 penalty yards are the most in the nation after two games. They’re just part of the reason USC has dropped two spots in the AP poll after each of their unimpressive victories.
Kiffin posted the Trojans’ penalty statistics in the locker room after their season-opening win at Hawaii. That didn’t stop the Trojans from repeatedly hurting themselves in a 17-14 win over Virginia.
