Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin did more than just deliver a joke for the ages at his Sunday press conference.
Kiffin also discussed the Week 1 showdown with USC, Alabama’s quarterback competition and more on Sunday:

Lane Kiffin: "This has been an exciting two years here, a very different two years."

#Bama OCLK: Lot of challenges for our offense. Replacing QB for third year in a row. Center also extremely hard to replace.
— Ken Rogers (@DEBamabeat) August 7, 2016
Kiffin: "Calvin Ridley was behind Robert Foster last season. Foster has a huge season if he doesn't get hurt." Big year in store for No. 1.

Kiffin: I know this sounds strange, but I really haven't thought about the USC game.
— Aaron Suttles (@AaronSuttles) August 7, 2016
#Bama OCLK: USC is down the road. We're not preparing for them, we're not game-planning. We're working on getting ourselves better.
— Ken Rogers (@DEBamabeat) August 7, 2016
Kiffin on Blake Barnett: "He continues to grow in the OFF. Excited with where he's at." Mentions Barnett weight gain & struggles last year.

#Bama OCLK: Jalen Hurts has a very special skill set. Referred to freshman Jonah Williams as our starting right tackle.
— Ken Rogers (@DEBamabeat) August 7, 2016
Kiffin on QB battle: "It's all about finding the right guy."
— Stephen M. Smith (@CoachingMSmith) August 7, 2016
Lane Kiffin just referred to frosh OT Jonah Williams as "our starting right tackle." There you go.

#Bama OCLK: Running back depth is a big challenge for us. They're all young, freshmen or sophomores. There's talent, have to get them ready.
— Ken Rogers (@DEBamabeat) August 7, 2016
Kiffin said he thinks the RB position will more of a shared role this fall. Not like Derrick Henry.
