Love and Price made superstar plays. It’s such a luxury to have both of these guys in the same backfield. Otting was incredible and played so much better than I was expecting. Schrauth was a mauler in the run game and played with incredible grit to come back into the game after initially getting hurt (praying he’s OK). Leonard Moore is a difference maker and the team can play so much more aggressive when he’s on the field. Gray made a big play late, but he was a liability up until that point. Saw a few plays that he wasn’t running 100% and that’s just not acceptable. Defensive line and LB’s were excellent against the run and had some decent pass rushes, even though they didn’t get many sacks. Kicking game was awful and needs to be fixed asap. No excuse to miss an XP, a short FG and have 2 kickoffs go out of bounds. On the bright side, the punting game was really solid and the Price kickoff return TD was a massive momentum shift after USC had taken the lead. That might have been the play of the year so far.
I’m a Los Angeles resident and have a ton of friends and family that went to USC. This is my Super Bowl week every year and, winning 7 of the past 8 years has been so much fun!!! This year was especially fun to rub it in!!! That USC bench gave up long before the game was over and I loved watching every minute of this game!!!
