I think the argument is that USC wasn't going to get the spike off in time before the half ended. It was certainly close, and I don't think MF wanted to chance giving them a free play for either an end zone shot or an easier field goal.

Is it weird that I would feel more confident if USC got the ball to start the 2nd half?

Yep. Even if time expired on the spike, Traore would be offsides and that would just give USC an easier field goal. Good play by Traore but he needs to be smarter.

Unless there's another guy on this team named Gerry, it ain't the guy in the booth doing the redeeming.

Wow.

It's not over-romancing to think that. Personally, going into this season, I had Cam behind Jeremiah Smith and Cam Coleman. His senior film so far is having him climb up those rankings. I'd say he's closer to top 15 overall than top 30. He is ELITE. I'd say he's the third receiver in this...

Milton has not lived up to the hype so far this year.

Cam Williams is easily one of the best WR's in this class overall. I don't get how this take is even close to going out on a limb. It's a loaded class, but Williams is showing why he is among the best in said loaded class. His combination of speed, athleticism and ability to change direction...

Hartman should've alleviated that, and between Watts, Henderson, Brown and Carter, you should have at least a solid safety group. The staff has failed to develop Henderson and Carter has been non-existent. They had an OL with 2 1st round talents anchoring the lines, and an experienced veteran...

It didn't work out for Nebraska, because they made an utterly stupid hire to replace Pelini. It's the same logic that some Bears fans use to justify their stance that they shouldn't have fired Lovie Smith after a 10-6 season. Yes, they absolutely should have. It was the right move to replace...

I mean, that's true, but Duke and Louisville >>>>>>>>> Stanford and Colorado. And that doesn't even consider the reality that ND had to play both of them back-to-back on the road, after also playing Ohio State, without a bye week, and both without their 2 best receivers.

Hard disagree with both of you. Colorado has struggled hard to beat 2 of the worst teams in the FBS this year in Colorado State and Arizona State. It only makes sense that they finally dropped one after barely escaping against 2 similarly inept teams. Their defense is an albatross of unholy...

4 of their remaining 5 games are against ranked opponents. I'd say that 5-7 isn't just possible, but a near foregone conclusion. And frankly, they're lucky to be 4-3 right now, given how they barely escaped against a bad TCU squad and got gifted a win at home against Colorado freakin' State.

If we have our hands full with Stanford, then we seriously need to re-evaluate everything about this staff. Stanford is awful, and this game changed nothing about it. Colorado is just being exposed as also awful and poorly coached, particularly on defense. They had a 29-0 lead and the defense...

TCU is awful, and Arizona State may be the worst Power 5 team. I legit don't see a single win left on their schedule. Maybe they eke out a win against Arizona. But Oregon State, Utah, UCLA and Wazzu? Nah. They're finishing 4-8, maybe 5-7.

Pelini was hired coming off the tumultuous tenure of Bill Callahan, where Nebraska went 27-22 in his 4 years. Freeman was hired coming off Brian Kelly, who went 54-9 in his final 5 seasons at ND. Pelini got Nebraska to another level that they weren't at prior to his hiring. He simply wasn't...

I don't think you can simply look at record when evaluating Freeman. For him to stay past year 3, there doesn't just need to be tangible evidence that the program is moving forward, but that Freeman is becoming a better head coach. I felt he was making progress early in the year, but these...

Funny you mention it, because Young reminds me a lot of Keeley. Athletic freak of nature, 6'6 with ridiculous twitch and bend, but raw and needs to develop consistency with his pass rush technique.

It must feel good to have the best Bryce Young in North Carolina committed to us.

Bear Alexander epitomizes the USC defense. He's explosive, he's talented. He's also lazy and woefully inconsistent. He has the capability to make big plays, he also has the capability to get whooped and give up big plays. There's a reason why USC has struggled to stop the run against...
