That famous Rich Rod defense is rearing its ugly head tonight.
November 5th, 2017 at 12:04 AM ^
An overhyped Rich Rod QB getting destroyed by a competent defense? I don't believe it.
November 5th, 2017 at 12:05 AM ^
Yup. Once again Rich Rod's flaws are exposed.

Heavily dependent on an all-star QB who racks up huge numbers against easy teams, the QB gets hyped to the moon suddenly, then they run into a good defense and the offense completely collapses
November 5th, 2017 at 12:09 AM ^
USC is going to do that thing where they are one of the best teams in the country by December.

Tell that to Arizona St

Oregon really sucks so that is not a good measuring stick.
November 5th, 2017 at 12:58 AM ^
B1G and ACC should have all noon games
Big12 and SEC all 3:30 games
Pac12 and Mtn. West all with 8:00 games.
I want to finish watching Arizona but I am about to fall asleep. Also, this ref has a very annoying voice

Holy balls... this game. Lovin' it!

never disappoints
November 5th, 2017 at 1:24 AM ^
Jeez. USC's receivers are blocking really well downfield.
Terrible interception by Tate there. Just a killer.
November 5th, 2017 at 1:36 AM ^
Looks like the same old RichRod. He puts his best athletes on offense, leaving his defense to be a hot mess . . . and then the offense has to play flawlessly to keep pace with other team. I've had my fill of that approach.
November 5th, 2017 at 8:38 AM ^
The current QB Khalil Tate looked at times amazing - reminded me seriously of Denard Robinson with his quick acceleration.
But the defense was bad - a not that great USC team once they focused ran and passed their way right down the field.
While watching the game, the question popped up: why this type of offense can't co-exist on the same team as a Don Brown defense?
The possible answers were (1) not recruiting for defense (so as you noted, the best athletes are on offense - sort of a high school/middle school approach), (2) that style of offense has a lot of potential 3 and outs and that can put your defense on the field a lot so if your team lacks defensive talent AND depth, it will be a long game.

"... that style of offense has a lot of potential 3 and outs ..."
You can go three-and-out running the ball, too.

RR is a perfect example of of coach who should have stayed at where he was having success. He really had it going at WV.
Same with the guy who left Colorado State to go to Florida. With the 85 scholarship limits you can build a really good team just about anywhere.

shafted him on his promise for more $$ for the assistants, so couldn't stay unless he wanted to swallow for him. I think he wanted to and they drove him off.
