A big shoe dropped today as former Oklahoma wide receiver Mario Williams committed to USC.
It has to be just a matter of time before Caleb Williams also commits to USC.
The offense is fine. The defense? Well . . .
Meanwhile, Oklahoma is trying to engineer a double-trade with USC as Jaxson Dart and Michael Trigg visited yesterday. The pair are at Mississippi today.

Michael; Be a bit wary. This reminds me of Charlie (what do you mean we need an Oline) Weis at ND. But it is certainly an upgrade. The ND-USC game in two years could be two top 4 teams!

Actually I AM more than a bit wary, NDgrad (I just remember Arthur C. Clarke saying something about how “exhibiting wariness is a sign of weakness”)….

Regarding defense, new coordinator Grinch was hired by Urban Meyer at Ohio State before Riley hired him away from OSU for Oklahoma. USC gets perhaps the best corner and one of the best safeties next year in Domani Jackson and Branch. Raejon Davis and Foreman should be much improved, plus there is Tui. Not like the cupboard is bare.

Mike, you are right on. I watched the highlights of 7 various OU games on Utube, and throughout, the Oline consistently caved in causing those runs by Caleb he was running for his life 40% of the game much like Darnold had to.
People whining because we didn’t get OU OLine Coach Bedenbaugh are unfounded, I think Josh Henson will be a superior OC/OL coach. His OLine at aTm performed very well.
OU’s DLine outperformed their OLine all through their season.
I’m a little concerned with the continuing Calab Williams drama, worried his Daddy trying to play a diva coup to squeeze Riley for some big NIL dollars for his Super Son QB.
Miller Moss just might be quite capable for Riley’s offense, he put Three QB’s in the National Limelight and conversation and Dart could be wooed back if need be.

Come on guys. Get a grip. USC isn’t going to world beater’s next year. Football doesn’t work that kind of a time frame. Pete Carroll went 6-6 his fist year w/ a junior QB who went on to win the Heisman and be the #1 pick in the draft.

Down 16 at the half b/c Enfield never adjusts the way he plays and the other coaches have caught on and now how to defend against USC. They all watched the Gonzaga tape. That was the blueprint to wreck USC’s offense. It’s not complicated.

Oregon big gorilla type big men intimidated USC inside throughout the entire game. Issiah White should be getting more playing time he is aggressive inside. The downfall of USC this year is 1) Free Throw Shooting and 2) Their Big Guards cannot defend the perimeter against smaller quicker guards specifically Drew Peterson.
This teams is good, but not good enough to win the Pac 12…We are probably looking at a 4th or 5th place finish behind Arizona, UCLA, Oregon, and in the mix with Colorado, and Stanford.

USC is better than UCLA. That can’t really be disputed. Isaiah White has or is coming back from a back injury. Even before he was hurt he wasn’t meaningfully contributing. Also, calling Oregon’s bigs gorillas is wildly racist. I’ll note that to your file.
