Jones stood up and removed his jacket to reveal a Florida Gators sweatshirt. There was a round of applause before Jones cautioned the crowd.

"Y'all better chill," he said.

Jones removed the Gators sweatshirt, proudly displaying the Florida State Seminoles sweatshirt underneath it. But he wasn't done.

Jones removed the Seminoles sweatshirt. Underneath it was a Southern California Trojans shirt.

"Fight on," Jones said, quoting USC's motto.

Jones then put on a USC hat, sealing the deal.

The Trojans finished No. 3 in the country last season with a 10-3 record.
