Or, if you're USC Trojans quarterback Matt Barkley, you're off and throwing.
Barkley and wide receiver Ronald Johnson kicked off the 2010 NCAA college football season with a bang on Thursday night in Hawaii as the duo tallied record-setting numbers in their 49-36 win over the Warriors.
Barkley had 257 yards passing and tied a school record with five TD passes while Johnson matched a USC mark with his three TD catches.
Despite the win, Kiffin wasn't entirely pleased with his first victory as a Trojan.
"We didn't do it in the style that we wanted. We want to be tough, we want to be disciplined," he told The Associated Press. "I thought we were tough today. I thought that we played physical in parts of the game, but we weren't disciplined."
