I think USC when they were healthy was a fringe top 10 team. Seem much softer on D than the first half of the year. Also the RB room was legit pre injuries.

USC is not challenging us for a spot no matter what.
I’d like to agree but I would also like them out period. If they beat NW, Iowa and Oregon down the stretch they would get a big bump, and if we win but dont play well…

They don't care. I maintain they primarily care about the Dodgers and Lakers in LA. Dodgers season is totally over and the Lakers are out of town tonight. They have a good team this year against a good opponent. Doesn't matter. LA doesn't care about USC football.
Correct. Honestly, the Raiders are probably still a more popular football team in LA than the Trojans.

Evidently USC submitted their roster to Northwestern this week and had Huard listed as #80.

Still kind of bush league, but Northwestern could’ve been on high alert if they had reviewed the roster closely.

The 247 poster that said Minchey won the job (and II effectively backed up as reputable insider) said the series got a two year extension. On campus not neutral.

I'm going to get all sorts of shit for this but I don't care.

I'm so FUCKING sick and tired of hearing Tyler Buchner I could throw up. The guy has left 10 times and came back. He fucking sucks and he's like been here for 9 years it seems like.

Get the fuck out.

Buchner = wasted scholarship spot.

Prove me wrong.

I will wait
I don’t think my reaction is quite as visceral as yours, but the A&M game this year definitely tainted my overall perception of him.

I always thought sharing rosters before the games is like giving the other general your battle plans. Stupid. Let it be a mystery. Make it more interesting

That guys track record isn’t great but if we do play them again, it better be in campus. A neutral game against USC is a slap in the face imo

I can't figure out the would want to give up a home game and play in Vegas. Riley bitches about travel, then they might move the game? Makes no sense.

Right! Screw him. Go call on Tenn or Oregon to see if they want to get something going.

The II pod touched on it briefly, basically a close neutral site game not counting as one of their home games would be good for some sort of home game requirement they’re mindful of. Not sure if it was a B1G Ten requirement or what.

I thought the basic idea was that USC can't win in South Bend, so adding a neutral site game in the rotation once every 3 years, over the course of the series, reduces the number of times they play in South Bend by 33%.

This whole charade (month the game is played, neutral site games, possibly canceling the series) is based on USC's being afraid of ND's home field advantage, which USC's home games do not match.

Its fun how USC seems to think that traveling to Notre Dame is a disadvantage for USC, but does not seem to think that Notre Dame traveling to USC is a disadvantage for Notre Dame.
