SC wins the conference and is in the playoff if Williams is 100% and Vorhees plays. That game had the same look as the first Utah game, only I expect we would have outlasted Utah and the defense would not have panicked. Then SC IS a playoff team.

Don’t forget Dye also. USC wasn’t even at full strength for the PAC 12 championship game. Especially when Caleb got hurt in the 1st quarter.

I think Jones was doing a fantastic job replacing him. He was key to the UCLA and ND games. If the OL had its normal makeup, including Vorhees, Jones would have performed much better.

Imagine year 2 under Coach Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams at QB hosting UT @ home….UT doesn’t do very well in bowl or OOC matchups….2021 losses to SD St. & BYU 2022 Rose Bowl OH St….this season game 1 @ FL. The opponent at the Rose Bowl on Monday 1st January 2023 is PA St. Let’s see how Coach ‘Bouncer’ prepares for the Nittany Lions this month.
USC will be hitting the field with a vengeance thru spring practice and the Autumn as they get ready for 2023 for 2 straight home games against San Jose St. & NV.

I think it’s incredible that USC has the first team QB but doesn’t have any wide receivers on the first, second or third teams.
What, was Caleb chosen because of his skill at handing the ball of to the RB’s?

Mr. Wolf, where is your pessimism on Alabama? (Alabama has 5 All-Americans). May I use your line?:

Snark master Scottie never fails with his bullshit take on the accomplishments of this USC team. Not a bad turnaround from where Gomer Helton had us last season.
We’re a hamstring and a healthy O-Line away from making the playoffs. Utah’s defense couldn’t stop Caleb until his leg gave out and he still gave them trouble on one leg.
It’s no wonder the Wolfman is banned from covering any USC football games/events. You reap what you sow…

Well I think based on AP, Georgia is overrated and with Georgia’s lack of representation, SC would be favored over Georgia if they played this year because we all know that writers (especially AP voters) are much better at experiencing college football than the delusional supporters.
