God bless you, Lane Kiffin. In the third quarter of Tuesday night’s game in the Boca Raton Bowl, Kiffin’s FAU team was running up the score against Akron, scoring a touchdown midway through the quarter to go up 34-3. Of course, with a lead so large, you’d expect Lane to kick an extra point there, right? NOPE. My dude Kiffin went for two and got it.
LOL, Lane Kiffin’s FAU team really went for 2 while leading by 31 points
He says some trash talking from Akron prompted the decision.

Yes, Lane was up 31 points and went for two and got it. After the game, Kiffin said it was he did it because someone affiliated with Akron was talking trash.
It’s no secret that he likes to score. His team averaged 40 points per game. Plus, he went for it on fourth down twice tonight, so he’s not exactly a conservative play-caller. This is Kiffin’s style at FAU, and the school recently rewarded him with a new 10-year deal on Tuesday:
Kiffin’s FAU imported tons of blue-chips and stormed to a Conference USA title with one of the country’s most entertaining offenses. Every step of the way, he’s remained entirely himself (this is where one would usually say, “for better or for worse,” but if you’re into college football as entertainment, there’s not much of a “worse”), becoming college football Twitter’s single best personality.
The Lane Train rides again, apparently!
With the eventual victory, FAU will have its first-ever 11-win season in school history, an accomplishment that is undoubtedly impressive, especially considering it’s Kiffin’s first year in Boca.
Stay golden, coach.
