USC has been fined and reprimanded by the Pac-12 after it was discovered that one of the Trojans' student managers had intentionally deflated game balls during the first half of Saturday's loss to Oregon. USC fined for deflating footballs during game against Oregon
USC coach Lane Kiffin may have tried to willfully deceive Colorado during the Trojans' 50-6 win. That's what the L.A. Times was wondering when the paper asked Kiffin about backup quarterback Cody Kessler changing jerseys while playing on special teams in the first half. Kessler usually wears No. 6, but he switched to No. 35 during special teams plays, which included a run for a two-point conversion. Punter Kyle Negrete is No. 35. Kiffin tried to play off the jersey switching by claiming his team did nothing wrong. "We change jerseys all the time with our guys," Kiffin said Tuesday. "We'll change some more this week. Everything's within college rules." Well, yes and no. Did Lane Kiffin try to deceive Colorado by having players switch jerseys? | Dr. Saturday - Yahoo! Sports
