USC Morning Buzz: No More Hiding Behind Alex Grinch

Shaun Nua is co-interim defensive coordinator this week and seems to be pretty unscathed from criticism by the media/fans this season.

Should he be? The defensive line has been pretty awful, frankly. USC’s run defense is ranked 118th in the nation out of 130 teams. The Trojans let Washington rush for 316 yards; Cal rush for 235 and Utah for 247.

Colorado rushed for 193 yards against USC despite having the nation’s second-worst running offense (ranked 129th nationally).

You can’t blame Donte Williams for that. One of the reasons I think Nua gets a free pass is because everyone is so obsessed with Bear Alexander, who is inconsistent but does things that garner attention.

Has Kyon Barrs developed? Anthony Lucas? Jack Sullivan? Stanley Tu’ufo’ou? Braylan Shelby? Korey Foreman?

Maybe Nua and Brian Odom will simplify the defense this week and get improved play out of the unit. But it’s not just Alex Grinch that has been the issue. That’s one reason I’ve repeatedly mentioned the strength program as another problem Lincoln Riley needs to address.

  1. Analysts have mentioned how “small” SC is compared to other teams
    You can only strengthen a ’98-pound weakling’ so much

    And yes, about that SC defensive line, the one that did not seem to exist via Wash

        Chickenshit Gabby is so desperate to not appear pathetic. He ran away again like a coward. And he’s now trying to appear like a tough guy by posting the same ridiculous shit over and over. I would have respected you if you showed. I would have told everyone that you are a man of your word. I would have hooked you up with legitimate sparring sessions. I don’t give a shit about your politics. Instead you were a no show and have lied about it. For someone who constantly wants to fight people on the internet, you consistently run away whenever challenged. Lie about it all you want. Make up as many stories as you want. It all comes down to the fact that you could have been a man and showed up and silenced your critics regardless of the outcome. Instead, you ran away like a pussy. You are chickenshit.

        You are a small, irrelevant punk.

      2. Just to be clear, Charlie Bucket the Bruin aka Cowardly Gabby/Tebow Obama needs treatment for her paranoid schizophrenia condition. It is a fairly common (and can be severe) mental illness: about 0.32% of the population suffers from it. [Let’s see. There were 331 million Americans in the 2020 Census. I don’t believe they diagnose it (for sure) until one’s late teenage years, so let’s apply it to those Americans and Traitors like Charlie Bucket the Bruin aka Cowardly Gabby/Tebow Obama 18 and over. Google says that 258 million Americans are 18 years old & older: 258 million x 0.0032 = 825,600 people adults who suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, just like Charlie Bucket the Bruin aka Cowardly Gabby/Tebow Obama .
