Lincoln Riley was the CBS Sports conference coach of the week for the Big Ten.
Do they give an award for beating a team with its backup QB?
To be fair, the results in the Big Ten were pretty dreary last weekend. If you didn’t know TJ Lateef was the QB for Nebraska, you might be impressed with Riley winning in Lincoln.
- USC’s Homecoming game vs. Iowa on Nov. 15 will kick off at 12:30 p.m. PT and be on CBS or the Big Ten Network. USC had requested a day game because of Homecoming.
- USC kicker Ryon Sayeri was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week.
On a different note, USC had some unremarkable recruiting years, but next year’s class, if it holds, looks to be the best in a long time:

Agree 67. It will change the direction of the program. First, there are 35 of them. Second, you build a dominate team from the offensive line out. We have 6 great o line recruits. Really like the film on Caisson Smith and Chaz Deniz and they are not the guys who are highly rated. We have about 6 highly rated d backs and at this point that is an area of need. A really good interior d lineman from Texas and another Tom Tom from MD and our edge rusher from NJ, Luke Wafle, may be the pick of the litter. Incredibly fast and athletic and aggressive. If not Wafle, it would be Bowen, the TE out of Mater Dei. Big, fast, great hands and also a really good blocker. He is going to be a mismatch for any defense.

Why they won’t transfer. Ever spend anytime in the summer in Ohio, Alabama, or Georgia. If the heat and humidity doesn’t kill you, the insects will. Seriously, these places are livable for about 3 weeks in the fall and another 3 in the spring and that is it. Tuscaloosa, Athens, really? Football is the only attraction in these places and that is not enough for the 98% of college players who won’t play in the NFL.

She’s too stupid to comprehend that MILLIONS regretted having voted for Biden. That’s what they said on Nov 5. Trump wouldn’t be back in office if that wasn’t the case.
She has serious comprehension issues. How do we know this? Because she’s always accusing other of that and that is her M.O.

Yep. And the youth travel teams, high school recruiting, payola to players, transfers, ect. are killing high school sports. There are now 20 or so competitive high school football teams in Southern California. They have 80% of the players who have college athletic potential. They play on beautiful fields under the lights. Most of the other schools struggle to field a team. Lucky if they can find 40 kids who are interested in playing and those kids are too small and too slow. They play in the day in front of maybe 100 people. Really sad compared to what went on 50 years ago when virtually every high school fielded a competitive team and played under the lights in front of thousands of fans. And guess what will ultimately happen. The average young person will stop caring about football because they didn’t play it as a youth due to concerns over head injuries and didn’t even watch it as part of their high school experience. Most young men today don’t really know the rules of football – a fair catch, onside kick, helmet to helmet contact, ect. And as the population ages the sport will die.
