Curious why Pyne isn't getting a look. Is he not capable of leading? Is it for recruiting purposes to show everyone that Kelly can develop a freshman QB with Coan as the bridge? I like the energy Pyne brings to the table and I'd love to see the McGregor walk more. Thoughts?

He sucks in practice. Accuracy and reads aren’t good.

I think he has some of that gamer quality where he dials it up in games but the coaches just don’t trust him.

Thank you! Trust is key.

Connor McGregor told Kelly he wasn't a real Irishman, they've had a feud ever since. Pyne backed the wrong horse in this one.

I don't really get it either. Other than the end of that VT game Pyne has had a higher QBR in his two games than any of Coan's other performances this season. Small sample size, but he also hasn't thrown any picks so we know he's taking care of the ball better than Buckner and Coan thusfar. I can see getting Buckner reps because the offense just seems to run better when either Pyne or Buckner are in and Buckner may well be the future, but the offense often stalls when Coan is in because of the OL struggles and his lack of mobility. If the OL has turned a corner, great, Coan could work...jury is still out though.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Pyne transfer out.

Regardless of USC’s record, they will play hard and keep it competitive. After all it’s their biggest Rivalry game as well.

Clearly BK is trying to prevent a QB controversy next year between Buchner and Pyne

Yeah, he's trying to actively push Pyne out! That'll solve the problem. He's even been trying to get Clark up to speed this week, getting him lots of reps in 7 on 7.
He's a Drew hater.

So next year we have

- Coan gone
- Pyne potentially transferring out
- Clark transferring or medically retiring
- Buchner who may or may not be injury prone.

I sure hope Angeli and uncommitted QB#2 are high quality players who are ready to go if Buchner gets hurt.

Reading an article in The Athletic, the USC writer doesn't think USC's D line can hold up. Thinks the Irish will have success on the ground

I wonder if BK's hearing some whispers or rumors?

There's a first time for everything!

Hopefully the improvements we saw on the ground against VT payoff this Saturday. Would be nice to go for 200 on the ground. I miss the days when that was damn guaranty.

I either missed some news or missed the sarcasm here, but is Clark really getting more practice reps? I’m not completely up to speed on what’s been going on with him this year. I do think I liked a healthy Clark more than Pyne tho.

Yeah, BK said they were getting him more reps to get rid of the rust.

Whelp...guess he's not going to be getting more reps anymore since he's entering the portal...guess those extra reps weren't going so well?

USC QB Jaxson Dart is still not medically cleared, Donte Williams says. No update on TE Michael Trigg.

Works for me. The more hurt the better. Boat race the bitches.

How could you tell? Clark was always hurt! :banana:

I really dislike USC and hope we win. That is all.

I've obviously always disliked USC and remember watching 2005 Bush Push game vividly on TV in sealing that dislike... BUT sitting behind their band a few years later is what really solidified that hatred. Holy shit play something else you frauds.

My mother in law made the mistake of telling me the worst thing I can call her daughter in public in Spanish,... that is now her pet name and I call her it constantly. My 'cochina'... because yes, I am a man of mucha cultura

Games this week kinda stink. Clemson Pitt should be the best game on the slate. The takes from Clemson fans if they lose that one will be a fun read.
