Lane Kiffin delivers halftime speech during LSU victory over Clemson

Summary

LSU coach Lane Kiffin was recorded delivering an expletive-laden speech to his players at halftime of a 51-10 win over Clemson on Saturday. With his team leading 31-3 at the break, Kiffin urged the squad to remain focused and maintain intensity regardless of the score.
