Chris Galippo had a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on Stanford's game-winning drive, a play not forgotten by Kiffin. "[Galippo's] performance really is our issue right now. He played so well, like we've done in two games the majority of the game, then right at the end makes a really poor decision in crunch time," Kiffin said.
