Lane Kiffin has a clear appreciation for Arch Manning, even as the LSU coach prepares to face the Texas quarterback in a crucial SEC matchup.

His latest comments offered a glimpse into their relationship before Saturday's showdown.

The LSU coach made his feelings clear when asked about the player Manning has become.

The final part of that statement carried a reminder of the circumstances. Kiffin's admiration will have to take a back seat when the two teams meet.
