“We put a lot of resources into that field and what I’m hoping is that our fans are going to see the best that field has ever looked,” Kiffin said. “The problem with walk-throughs … you tear it up because people put cleats on and go on there.”

A large USC billboard featuring QB Matt Barkley with the phrase “We Play to Finish” recently went up at the corner of Westwood Boulevard and Lindbrook Drive, which is right in the heart of UCLA’s campus.

Kiffin is officially the world's biggest weenie.
