Pick The USC-Oregon Score

I already made my pick this morning. Now it’s your turn.

USC is talking trash on twitter apparently. Didn’t Oregon lose its No. 1 cornerback (Thomas Graham), its Rose Bowl defensive MVP (safety Brady Breeze) and a projected first-round draft pick (safety Jevon Holland), who all opted out of the season.

Do better, USC.

  1. I was talking to a buddy who said that no major college team in the last 10 years has been asked to strap up 3 times in 13 days.

    P.S.
    Shaun Cody puts out his keys to the game every week of the season –nothing snarky about this.

    1. Why does scottie only talk about the losses suffered by our opponents? But if we lose 21 kids from a game like last year or our top three inside linebackers this year,there’s not one chirp…

      agenda much?

      1. Like I used to tell pro-defense judges in L. A., “for appearances’ sake it would be better if you sustained my objections once in a while too…”

      4. I get it. I just think it looks better if Scott gives us “Scott” …and then goes “Fan” every once in a while…

      5. The comment was about interception ranking and how the usc spin department put out the stats w/o levity or perspective. Not the whole roster. If you are a spin department and wanna cherry pick, then be prepared to be called to the mat on the facts and perspective.

      6. Both teams are down. We’re missing some of our top players all year too… scottie just being scottie. The quacks said plenty about Donte when he left. They (quacks) clearly said Donte had more issues than talent. Scott’s been putting his unit down all season. If they have the confidence, it’s up to them to live up to it.

      7. This is definitely not me saying I told you so because that’s not me. But my point really is, the minute you start chirping about stuff and specifics ahead of time, its bound to come back and bite you in the ass. 3-1 pics. I wonder how the 2020 int rankings changed as of today. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t need hype video departments, and spin teams instagramming about strength and conditioning workouts and conference stat rankings. Its almost embarrassingly comedic. Just go do your job as a staff and develop. Smoke and mirrors was this season. I have been telling my friends who don’t pay close attention that it’s a facade. Hard victories over bad to mediocre teams who tighten up (including Oregon) down the stretch and immediately become uncreative a timid. Best way to close out the trojans, run the ball on the edges. 2 years of not being able to contain. Not a blow out but they got whipped pretty much in every aspect of the game. More lack of discipline once again and 9 penalties.

    3. The only thing that makes this unusual by 1 day, Is that usc was too careless to keep their squad from getting covid and needing a sunday (1 day extra) to prepare for the game. Their practices aren’t gauntlets like some so i think its not a good excuse. One year I had 28 top level meets in 35 days across europe. Constant travel in between. All on euro rail with a 17′ long case and by myself. I think they can deal.

  2. Plus…how are we expected to predict a score when Scott has already told us what it is?

    1. That would be cool —but we don’t need to demolish them… just win the Pac 12…

      2. That looks like it SHOULD be right (if we’re back “up” from last week)….. the Over/Under suggest somewhere in the vicinity of a 35-28 game…

      3. Say what you want about sloppy, uninspired or whatever, this season’s been as entertaining as almost any I can remember. Although it would’ve been nice to have the domers on the schedule.

      7. Markese was struggling with turf toe – tough recovery and such a bad injury for a running back, considering how much they are pushing off their toes. Fingers crossed.

      8. Vavae is a stabilizing influence — Markese is a bigger risk —who could bring bigger rewards…

      1. Let’s amend this directive even more— stop their QB from running or throwing on the run or throwing in the pocket or ever feeling comfortable for more than a half second….

  8. Irrespective, I’m really proud of these lads who have had so many challenges to their classroom and football routine, along with not having much of a social life either. Holidays with family? Nope.

    Resilient. Hard working. Improved in most facets.
    It’s gonna be ugly, but the defense stiffens when it matters in the Red Zone

    2. That could rival Georgia Tech’s 220-0 beat down of a small teacher’s college back when John Heisman was coaching the “Rambling Wreck”
