Dude has the football IQ of Koon, mad ramblings of IrishPat, and the arrogance of du lac. Maybe all three got together and shared the username and password for one SUPER troll.

Bruh, it was 14-10 in the fourth quarter. They didn't take their foot off shit.

Tell us you didn't watch the game without telling us you didn't watch the game.
With that logic, he must think Saban was sandbagging when they almost lost to Texas in Austin. Saving the good stuff for later.

Listening to their fans after this game is making me remember why USC is so detestable.

That fanbase is in desperate need of a reality check. Hopefully we can happily oblige them.
Didn't watch the game, but their video game offense scored 17 points against Oregon State? What are they bragging about?

USC escapes Corvallis after needing 4 interceptions from OSU's QB.

Every team left on our schedule is beatable
That’s my takeaway from yesterday as well. SC and Clemson are top ten teams but SC’s offense and Clemson’s defense were brought down to earth by teams not elite.
BYU and Syracuse (!) are going to be tough outs but the other four we play aren’t beating us

If our OL continues the trajectory that they're currently on, good luck.

Well, they're 4-0, so there's that.

They haven't had much to brag about lately since 2017.

not impressed with the BYU DL as they got pushed around in the 1st half last night when i was watching them against Wyoming before going to bed and the ducks also pushed them around the week before. if Wyoming can push them around then our OL should be able to do the same

TBF, Wake's offense is pretty damn elite. Hartman is the real deal and will play on Sundays. He's got unbelievable pocket presence already as a graduate player. I'm glad we aren't playing Wake this year, because I agree on paper they're not elite but they would pose a real challenge for us defensively, more so than UNC IMO.

Every other part of this team outside of the QB and WRs that they bought are mediocre. Have already allowed 17 points and 200+ yards to ASU.

Not entirely sold on Caleb Williams either.

He looks like the same QB as last year. He'll put up great numbers against bad defenses and then look like crap against anything decent.

I agree. That being said, ND has zero excuse not to come in and out-physical SC. Got to prove it on the field.

damned straight Hartman is good. Draft status may be impacted by the fact that he's 35 years old and spent 15 years in college.

Seriously, his first start and Ian's Book's were the same week or one week off.

I heard Lincoln Riley bought I mean brought 53 new players with him. These portal rules are friggn ridiculous. Imo you shouldn’t be able to flip several years of poor recruiting with NIL money etc in one year. Players should not be able to follow coaches when they leave a program. Assistants or a head coach. Should be a limit to this nonsense especially since we don’t play the game very well. Hope we just grind usc down. Don’t think they have our depth and it we can get some pressure on Williams they’re done. Hopefully by the last game of the season our D will figure out the turnover recipe and guys will be playing after and smarter.

Usc just has no culture this year. Just a bunch of transfers and recent hires. They have no depth, should be knocked outta the poll after playing Utah.

they do have 25 sacks and like 12 picks though on the season

but i agree they are doing way too little with too much talent

They aren’t going to fall from 6 to outside the top 25 after losing to the number 20th ranked team.

They probably won’t lose to them anyway. Every week someone hops in this thread to mention their slow start, and how they’re frauds but then they go on to win comfortably. 40+ points per game and and currently lead the country is sacks, this is not a bad football team.

Nor is Utah a necessarily good team

If you can get a coach that does both great. But I will disagree with him on that.

But look at us with and OC that’s not bad but a terrible QB coach. So really it’s all about how you get the other staff members lined up.
