To be fair, Joel Klatt picked Notre Dame to win the game. But this was just Lincoln Riley’s second trip to South Bend so what the hell was he talking about saying this was the best version he has “ever” had going into South Bend.

I do not trust pundits. I trust the student body and the donors. These folks were booing LR when he took the field at the Coliseum against Michigan, and they will boo him again when he returns from Nebraska, win or lose, in 3 weeks. They have seen enough football to know the truth. LR is out of his depth. He will never get to the CFP. And USC, under his so called leadership, will always underperform. We have a team that under a coach like Carroll or even Robinson would go 11-1, 10-2, or 9-3 at worst. We had the team to win at ND yesterday, but we have the wrong coach to do it.

Last Saturday vs MI, there was no booing of CLR.

Everyone in the stadium knew that ND was going to hand it to Love and Price over and over. This was even more apparent when the Frosh QB was way off on timing and accuracy.
SC knew it – we all knew it – yet they got manhandled and run over. Trickeration will not often beat brutality.
SC could not run it or stop the run. ND’s poor kicking was the only thing that kept the game close.
McKay, Robinson and Carroll recruited dudes in the trenches. Big 12 Riley has not.

With this coach- you will never have either a great O line or D line. We only had a decent recruiting this year because of the GM. LR is incapable of recruiting superior line players. We are screwed for as long as this doofus is our HC

in fact- I do t even think LR cares about either- he’s too focused on his xo’s – which are ok, if your job is an offensive coordinator- problem is- he’s the HC and he’s terrible it. They are going to lose at least 3 more games because of this doofus

hey wolfman, remember when Southern Cal had 10 All-American running backs on the team and they still ran it 15 times a game while the Pious Passer targeted Woods about 35 times a game???
perfect game plan by ND’s Freeman. he said we’re gonna stop the run and make em beat us in the air. held SC to 68 yds rushing as they ran wild on trOXans.

Lincoln Riley is nothing but a mid level coach that should be and should be at Missouri St. He has no clue on what SC means, how to coach, or build a physical team. He needs to go. He is lost. Tomorrow night he will say that they are improving and moving forward.

Notre Dame owes Riley for choosing SC over LSU which then hired Brian Kelly.
LSU and Kelly were a poor fit and Southern Cal, well they got Lincoln Fookin’ Riley.

They need to rename this blog to P I S S on USC. We lost the LOS. ND’s left guard was dominating our tackles. Horrible gap control on defense. Looked like we were out of position on multiple plays ala Alex Grinch. Bad play calling by Riley. ND anticipated several calls on key plays. But we have a lot of young talent on both sides of the line that will get better and a great recruiting class. Jahkeem Stewart and Floyd Brouchard are the real deal. Both will play on Sundays. Kam Crawford ain’t bad either. I was p i s s e d watching the game but the future is still promising. You guys sound like your giving up on the program. Riley isn’t going anywhere. Can’t pay the buyout and NIL money. Live with it. If we can win the LOS we can win with Riley. And we are in position to do that in a couple of years.
