I think I mentioned it in the game thread last night, but that is exactly what I was thinking at the time.I just watched the espn highlights of the game and they referenced Sarkisian five times. "Sarkisian is dialing up the plays" and then Hurts scores the go ahead touchdown on the broken play. Seems like no one can stand Kiffin.
However, the more I think of it, the more I am convinced that it wasn't hate for Kiffin that drove the commentary, but a desire to shield Saban from the consequences of his decision to remove Kiffin a week before the Championship Game. (Which, of course, was driven by the fact that Kiffin is an asshole, so we're kind of agreeing here.)
Edit: BTW, I missed a hell of an ending going to bed in the third quarter. Sucks getting old ...
