Lane Kiffin is not known for being conventional, or sane for that matter. Considering he let the air out of balls to stop Oregon, had players switch jerseys, and randomly goes for two during games we shouldn’t be surprised that he refuses to tell his players who the starting QB will be for the Trojans:
“I don’t address them that way, just like I don’t address who starts at running back, or right corner,” Kiffin said. “It’s their job to play their position. They’re not coaching, they’re playing, and they’ve been explained that a number of times.”
Cody Kessler who is one of the two QBs along with Max Wittek who is fighting for that spot had this to say:
“That’s Coach Kiffin’s decision,” Kessler said. “He does what’s best for us in his mind, and it works out for us.’
