## Resource

ESPN’s Jordan Rodgers is setting the bar sky-high for Lane Kiffin’s first year at LSU, arguing that anything short of a College Football Championship appearance would be a failure — citing Curt Cignetti’s historic Indiana turnaround as the benchmark. While Kiffin faces immense pressure to deliver big immediately, Rodgers insists the expectation for a title run in Year 1 is not only fair but necessary, dismissing any notion that missing the championship should be seen as acceptable.
