In a recent interview with Sporting News columnist Matt Hayes, Kiffin claimed that he would have won an SEC championship he had stayed with...

Oregon received a huge boost to their program yesterday as HS phenom Lache Seastrunk decided that he will be playing college ball for the Ducks. Auburn, USC, and LSU, were all in the mix for Seastrunk in a highly competitive recruiting battle. Seastrunk, who hails from Temple, Texas, accounted for 1,085 all-purpose yards this past fall. His versatility makes him a dangerous threat out of the backfield, or in the slot position as a wideout. His blazing speed and cat...
