More than a few USC fans have mentioned the post-game comments of announcer Dave Pasch after the game.
I can’t remember it exactly but it was something to the affect of USC being fortunate or making the right decision to keep Clay Helton.
- The Coliseum is hosting two games this weekend: Friday it’s USC vs. Washington and Saturday it’s Colorado vs. Oregon.
That way, Colorado and Oregon can fill in if either USC or Washington are unable to play.
I’m sure there is a deposit into Helton’s personal bank account from Pasch.

He was last game too. Guess they wanted him to practice some before letting him return kicks, those are the worst turnovers of all, and real momentum swings.

That was the second odd statement from Pasch.
The first was before the game, when he said:
“And Chip Kelly has brought these ucla bruins back!” I know he has to create some drama for the viewers, but still…

The game was entertaining, and USC beat the gutties, that’s a win considering most USC games these days are bore fests.
Slovis threw 2 great passes on the last drive and Vaughn’s made a hell of a catch, Slovis also threw some ducks and looks like he’s a mess in the head, can you say Darnold ?
What has Stepp done to get the treatment he gets from Gomer and Opie ?
Can we recruit a center who can block and doesn’t get shoved around ? At least this one can snap the damn ball to Slovis.
Hufanga prances around after making a tackle, act like you’ve done it before. He didn’t prance so much chasing down #85 who was so wide open it was sad.
USC cannot tackle to save themselves and the defense lacks playmakers and looks slow
Apparently USC doesn’t know other teams have and actually throw to their TE, #85 looked like Gronk last night, only Gomer & Co can make average ucla players look all world, remember the walk on from UC Davis who set a rivalry rushing record ?
The end of the game was embarrassing, but it’s what you would expect from such a poorly coached team and one that has ZERO discipline, London looked like a fool and someone should tell Williams that if he’s going to run his mouth he might want to put his helmet on.
Gomer is the luckiest coach around, USC could easily be 2-3 but here they sit 5-0, it’s good to be in the WAC 12.
This is not a good team, far from it, they have talent but this team couldn’t beat any top 10 team.
And yes, that idiot FOX play by play announcer did say that whoever decided to keep Gomer was right for doing so, moron
And anyone who thinks USC is getting screwed for not being considered for the football playoff should have their head examined.
Gomer isn’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future and USC football will be irrelevant for as long as he, Bohn and Folt are at the school.

Michael, not sure about honor for at least some of the ruin players. Remember the total throw down of Kenan by the bruins WAY after the whistle blew? Christon could have been badly hurt. The sad excuse for Pac-12 referees were afraid to throw a flag on that.

Felton could have changed that, though Trojans did get good penetration on that play. Still, it is not all that inconceivable for Clay to give Chip the game ball.

I’d love to see them play a top program. If they compete, then that is great. If they lose badly and give up, that is an important negative mark on Clay’s scorecard. That is what happened last year in the stinking Holiday Bowl (though Iowa is not a top program).

I hope he is right. I like Clay Helton. I want him to succeed. But so far he hasn’t convinced me that he is the guy to take this program to the promiseland. I hope that changes. How much does Dave Pasch know about USC football? Has he ever played football in his life? He majored in speech in college. I’l bet almost everyone of the football fans on this Scott Wolf forum know more about USC football than Pasch does.
