TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley had an interesting response when he was asked if he was going to give his brother tickets

USC football coach Lincoln Riley will be at Monday's CFP National Championship game between TCU and Georgia.

But he won't be there thanks to comp tickets from his brother.

TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley - Lincoln's younger brother - was asked during a press conference on Saturday if he was leaving tickets for his brother.

His response?

"I'm sure he can find some tickets," said Garrett Riley.
