The stadium serenaded Lane Kiffin at the winning end Saturday with, “Lane Train.” The players chanted at him in the championship locker room afterward with, “One more year.”
“And did you hear the fans?” Kiffin said.
This was an hour after he accepted the Conference USA Championship Trophy. His visor was pushed back on his forehead, a wry smile creeping up his face.
“The fans were saying, ‘We want ‘Bama,’ ” he said.
If you’re late to the party — that’s what Kiffin brought to Florida Atlantic this season — it was all on display again Saturday.
