USC senior LB Chris Galippo caused a stir with his post-game comments after the Trojans victory in South Bend.Â
"If I offended anyone with my post game comments Saturday, I do apologize," Galippo tweeted today. "I have great respect for their players and their program. It was a great game by both sides. Time to focus on Stanford!!!"
Head coach Lane Kiffin called Brian Kelly to personally apologize for his player's emotional reaction.
"On behalf of our football program, I apologize for Chris Galippo's statements after the game. I've addressed this with Chris and he is remorseful," Kiffin said.Â
"I also called Coach [Brian] Kelly to personally apologize. As I said to the media immediately after the game, I thought Notre Dame played extremely hard throughout the game. It was another classic rivalry game and we feel fortunate to have won."
