QUARTERBACK
You can’t get the best out of either QB when you constantly chop-and-change. At this point I don’t know how either one believes in their coaches.
Grade: D
RUNNING BACK
The great running attack from the previous week disappeared. But Graham Harrell didn’t seem committed to running especially at the beginning of the game when he was used scripted plays.
Grade: D+
WIDE RECEIVERS
Drake London is gone but how overrated were some of these other guys who don’t seem to get any separation during games?
Grade: D-
OFFENSIVE LINE
The best thing I can say is they have been just what I warned against the entire offseason. It’s a bad sign when both quarterbacks suffer injuries during a game.
Grade: D-
DEFENSIVE LINE
It’s really just a non-descript group. Drake Jackson is supposed to be the best pass rusher and Todd Orlando has him dropping back and trying to cover a running back?
Grade: D+
LINEBACKERS
Kana’i Mauga had 11 tackles but that’s probably because you had an ASU tailback gaining 202 yards.
Grade: D
DEFENSIVE BACKS
Jayden Daniels had a poor game but the DB’s still shrunk in the critical moments when USC could have really put pressure on the Sun Devils.
Grade: C+
SPECIAL TEAMS
Has Sean Snyder “transformed” special teams? Not really. Maybe you can say they haven’t made many glaring errors, which puts him ahead of John Baxter, at least.
Grade: C
COACHING
Couldn’t decide on a QB and hurt both with an odd rotation. Can’t stop the run. Can’t defend the pass. It’s a nothingburger on the sidelines each Saturday.
Grade: F
SC’s running back said that ASU was stacking the box, said it is hard to run against that.
Harrell isn’t making the QB calls, he has said that playing them here and there doesn’t allow them to get into a rhythm.
Does anyone have faith in Bohn to get the right coach ?
Does anyone have faith that Folt won’t interfere with the process ?

Bohn Bohn will not get the right coach and Folt the Dolt will interfere. SC is dead until Bohn Bohn and Folt the Dolt are gone along with the skipper, Caruso.

Caruso might be the guy who calls for Folt’s head (“Bring Me the Head of Alfreda Folt!” starring Jennifer Lopez) in an attempt to win back the Coliseum vote.

They’re weren’t stacking the box at all. They were dropping 8 into coverage and occasionally blitzing out of it. What everyone who complains about Slovis holding the ball misses is no one’s open! USC has 5 RB/WRs in the pattern max and everyone who drops 8 has 8 defenders to cover those 5. It’s not complicated.

Without satisfactory play from the O line and D line, there can be no passing grade for anyone. D line is an F, O line is an F, and that impacts all other grades.
How did the secondary get a C+? Way too high, but again, without a pass rush, they can’t be expected to stick to a guy with a QB having all the time in the world.
Bohn – go out and find an HC who can recruit great linemen on both sides and who will hire assistants who will really coach them.

Think about the last 3 head coaches SC hired on a full time basis, ALL QB’s.
It’s time to hire a coach with a defensive background as in Aranda and hell at this point I’d take Fickell but he’s not a fav of mine

…Maybe Scott didn’t watch the same Special Teams unit I did — the one fielding booming kicks hitting at the 7 yard line instead of letting them go into endzone (to give USC shitty field position) —and then loping down the field so that balls which could be downed at the 7 yard line of Arizona State came out to the 20 (starting Arizona State off on their next drive)…..

Scooter,
the only thing that was a B grade was the fox on the field. The entire team flunked. Even the bus driver flunked. He should have kept driving past the stadium and into Tucson. Sc would forfeit 2-0 and we the fans would not have to see the misery on tv. When does this end?

USC needs to be put into receivership, total do-over, and then we can get back on track. Flush the BOT, the imposter Folt, et. al. I worry in the absence of doing that, we will just see more of the same.

The team is disorganized and may not make a bowl game. The football stands are half-empty and fan enthusiasm is at an all-time low. Mike Bohn and Carol Folt are responsible for this lost season and sad state of affairs and their incompetence is on full display for the country to see.
