"You have to look at how many followers he has on Twitter," Kelly said jokingly. "He has a blue checkmark, doesn't he?"

"Lane has a positive outlook on the game and has been a central figure in college football. He can poke fun at himself and others, and I think he's good for college football.

"We like to have fun back-and-forth, but at the end of the day, we are both college football coaches who enjoy developing our teams."

"We played against each other when he was at USC, and I was at Notre Dame. When we got on the field, we are fierce competitors, and we want to win."
