LSU wins big in Kiffin debut

LSU running back Dilin Jones secured a first down against Clemson on Saturday night while his pants were completely down, exposing his rear on live television during the Tigers' 51-10 victory. The play occurred in the first half of Lane Kiffin's debut as LSU's head coach, a game delayed nearly two hours by lightning at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The viral moment happened as Jones, a transfer from Wisconsin, was tackled by Clemson defenders. Despite his pants falling around his ankles, he maintained his balance, kept possession of the football, and advanced past the first-down marker. The clip quickly circulated on social media, with one user captioning it, "Bro got a first down with his ass out man this is dedication." The play was one of many successful offensive efforts for LSU, which set a school record with 38 first downs and amassed 644 yards of total offense. Jones finished the game with 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Sam Leavitt, another transfer, complemented him with 113 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and 230 passing yards with a touchdown. The offensive explosion came after LSU ranked 126th nationally in rushing last season.
