USC Football

[stephenkatsea]

Anybody watch it? It took triple overtime for SC to barely squeak out a victory over lowly U of AZ. Hats off to U of AZ. They played one hell of a game. SC? Ranked in the national top ten, led by the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and playing at home . . . . . They were pitiful.

I watched it. Wasn’t USC best game. But with 3 wins coming into the game I wouldn’t call the Wildcats “lowly”.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Not sure why the offense has throttled back since the ASU game. The D is still giving it up. I don't see much improvement there. Offense kinds sloppy imo...seems like no urgency to move the sticks. If they don't get back on pace offensively, they're gonna lose 2 out of 3 vs. ND, O, and Udub me thinks. Shit, maybe even Utah again..... especially if Cam Rising gets back.

 

[shunter2005]

If it wasn't for Williams, SC would probably be .500 at best. That guy is pretty phenominal. Has got some wheels and a cannon for an arm, that's for sure.

Compared to a team, USC, ranked among the top 10 in the entire country, simply put, I consider the Wildcats lowly.

When it comes down to kids age 18-22 I don’t usually look at the rankings to much. Been watching USC football for to many years and have seen many upsets.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Believe one of SC’s drives for a TD was nearly 100% via pass plays. But, not a single pass reception was made during that series of plays. The refs moved the ball along for them via pass interference and roughing the passer calls. At another time the ref signaled touchdown SC. One problem, nobody had caught the ball.

 

[HBCraig]

Powerful offense but the defense sucks and that will be the downfall

 

[Backlash]

US who?? C'mon Man!

They need to be moved down in the rankings to open up those spots for teams with more talent. I've never been a fan of West Coast football. I'm biased and forever loyal to the team currently ranked fourth in the country.

FSU fan? SC moved down to 10th. Which team do you think should be above them?

 

[78Southwind]

I have had season tickets for over 20 years. It was probably the most bizarre game i have ever watched live. There were a lot of stupid penalties on both sides, #52 on the offense just about lost the game for SC.

 

[Cobalt232]

I'm going to miss Pac-12 after dark next year. I was really pulling for U of A. Very entertaining game.

Yah. Every year. Lol

After the last two games I’m just waiting for the shoe to drop.

The same team that nearly lost to BC?

Yep. When I first started watching USC it was beat ND, fucla and go to the Rose Bowl. Things have changed.

 

[stephenkatsea]

On USC’s first punt about 3-4 SC players apparently were trying to push the AZ intended returner into the ball. That would have made it a live ball which SC could have potentially recovered. Is that allowed? Don’t believe I’ve ever seen that. It had likely been practiced.

They lost 10 yards on that play when they didn’t down the ball.

Noles fan for life, regardless of their performances. I'm not just a fair weather fan who only cheers for them during winning seasons. Luckily, they are doing fairly well this year. Next season will be incredible as long as they stay on this current high. There is a lot of talent elsewhere in the country, places like Alabama, Michigan, Oregon, etc. Those programs have so much depth it's ridiculous. I'd pick Alabama over USC every day and I don't even like Alabama. LSU, Miami and Tennessee also have solid programs with a lot of young talent.

 

[stephenkatsea]

10 yds assessed by the ref? I don’t think so. The ball did end up 10 yds further up field (advantage AZ) from where they were trying to push/drag the AZ receiver into the ball. But, there was no penalty flag. The penalty would have been 15 yrs from point of infraction. It appeared the illegal actions of the SC punting team had been practiced. Look it up. Believe it’s called ‘catch interference’. Attempting to push the receiving player into the loose ball.

 

[Englewood]

I’m SC forever. However, they have no business being in the top 10. They don’t stand a chance against Oregon, Utah, Washington, ND!

If this defense doesn’t improve they’ll be at the holiday bowl.

 

[stephenkatsea]

When USC fans start that chant, “We are . . SC”. If they’d just reverse those letters, they’d have it right. Just sayin’ lol

Yes 10 yards due to USC kicking the ball backward.

 

[Joker]

USC is not what you have dreamed of. 5-0 is nothing but luck

 

[stephenkatsea]

Yep. Very special play by SC. There should have been a flag. Those 10 yds were only due to SC’s dumb ass actions, kicking the loose ball. WTF!? Looked like a NYC sidewalk mugging! You go SC .. . . This amazing team is undefeated! What a total crock of shxt!

 

[Bobby V]

Psssttt. They’re 6-0 Hows your Devils doing.

 

[Joker]

They almost beat that POS team from Colorado yesterday. It was almost as bad as being at Roscoes Chicken and Waffles at 11:30 on a Friday night. Every one of their fans looked like the sheriff from Blazing Saddles wearing their retarded cowboy hats and fake gold jewelry. (unless course it's from a smash and grab)
We're hanging in there with every team running our 3rd or 4th string qb. Nothing to be ashamed of. SC almost lost to U of A. Thats embarrassing as well.

 

[thedan]

Bunch of Hyper talented players that cannot step back and accept the “team” concept. I love watching them lose.

 

[shunter2005]

Exactly right!!! They have to score 50+ per game because the defense is so porous. Arizona pushed them to the limit. If Williams goes down, they are done....

 

[Cray Paper]

USC is not a national contender and is relying on the crutch of the dollar as usual, same as ND. Oregon / UW game was epic and both teams will crush USC this year. I see UW as an obvious national champion candidate, any disagree?

Go ND! Lol

 

[Mr. C]

Go ND! Lol

Lol. And they could lose up to 3 of the next 5.
That would so cool. Lol.

 

[playdeep]

Go ND! Lol

USC got their ass kicked up front...
Notre Dame's gonna cover.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Go ND! Lol

What an absolute disaster....I felt it coming.

 

[DILLIGAF]

What an ass whuppin’. Didnt see that coming but will take it.

 

[DILLIGAF]

What an absolute disaster....I felt it coming.

Well…enjoy your night

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

Well…enjoy your night

Lol...SC will be lucky to make it to the Mac n Cheese Bowl.

 

[Looking Glass]

RIGHT!!, Cover, by 25 Points

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Another year, another let down.

 

[havasujeeper]

I couldn't stand to watch that disaster after half time. What was the final score?

 

[ChumpChange]

I couldn't stand to watch that disaster after half time. What was the final score?

A lot to a little.

 

[havasujeeper]

48 (ND) - 20 (USC)

damn

A true so cal fan. If we are not winning I’m done.
I’m one also. So dont take that all wrong. Lol.

Edit. Except I watch when SC getting an ass wooping.
Used to be a huge all around LA fan. Not so much any more

We get lots of practice being losers. Look at the Doyers this year!

 

[Joker]

I told you guys 4 weeks ago SC sucked. Any believers now?

 

[stephenkatsea]

Looks like some very tough times ahead for SC. Unless they have some of their prior opponents on speed dial, such as that powerhouse UN Reno, and can work them into their future schedule. UCLA game/loss was interesting. Particularly the double QB situation. RB Steele looked good. UCLA also played weak opponents in their prior games.

 

[Mr. C]

Mine isn’t so much losing. It’s all the shit you have to put up with. Pretty sure you get my drift

 

[Englewood]

I’m as big of an SC fan as anyone and I could also see it a mile away. 5 loss season. Mark my words.

 

[Bobby V]

Hey… They are still tied for 1st place in the PAC 12. For now.

 

[Cray Paper]

Funny how the PAC 12 was the bottom feeder in the main stream media for the last 5 years, until this year. So Cal teams always got a break in the media due to dollars...viewing audience, same as the east coast large market teams. I get it, it's all about the money, but the fans of these privileged teams are are so hypocritical, why does your barely above mediocre team deserve more attention than a truly good team, setting aside the money aspect? USC might make a bowl game this year, might. If that hurts your feelings, you should look in the mirror and adjust your perception of what a good team looks like and think about that adjustment when you fire up the keyboard and comment about other teams.

 

[Bobby V]

USC might make a bowl game this year, might.

FYI USC has already won 6 games which makes them bowl eligible.
