Defense. Running the ball. Special teams. USC goes 0 for 3 against the good teams.
The go-to play has been to just chuck it deep and hope for a penalty or great catch
College Football Playoff bid on line and USC lets Oregon eat up six minutes and go 79 yards for a touchdown.
Yards rushing: Oregon 137, USC 42.
Oregon finds the USC weak spot many opponents refuse to attack — over the middle — and is back ahead by 14 points
USC finally claws back a TD.
Lincoln Riley is killing USC. Bad special teams coaching. Horrible play calls insie the 10-yard line before half. No discipline.
Special teams penalty so costly. Why doesn’t Riley hire a big-time special teams coach?
Jayden Maiava keeps forcing passes into double coverage and finally gets intercepted.
Special teams hurts USC as the Trojans allow an 85-yard punt return TD. Was Sam Huard punting? Oregon 21-14.
Time for a trick play. Makai Lemon throws a 29-yard pass to Tanook Hines for a TD and it’s 14-14.
First quarter total yards: USC 134, Oregon 132. USC has rushed for only 20 yards.
The Oregon offensive line is dominating the line of scrimmage, the defense can’t tackle well and covering the tight ends and reserve receivers is a project. In other words, D’Anton Lynn strikes again. 14-7.
Oregon was even better, or USC’s defense even worse, as the Ducks needed 2:49 to march down the field and tie the game. Dante Moore 4-4 for 51 yards.
USC with a strong opening drive and scores a TD on 8-yard reception from Makai Lemon for 7-0 lead. Maiava 5-7 for 54 yards.
- USC offensive lineman Elijah Paige and safety Kamari Ramsey are not playing. Safety Bishop Fitzgerald is also out.
Oregon will be without freshman wide receiver Dakorien Moore (knee) and former USC receiver Gary Bryant Jr. (ankle)
- Did you see USC is getting sued for $12 million in unpaid work on a new computer science building that is right near the football field and football facility being built for Lincoln Riley?
The Ginsburg Human-Centered Computation Hall opened 14 months ago. So USC owes $12 million? How about taking a certain football coach’s yearly salary. That should cover the costs in the lawsuit.

Same story- The Trojans are soft just like their coach. No running game, no defense, poor special teams equals no chance of winning a big game. Oregon, is clearly the better coached team with more talent than the Trojans. Lastly, our defensive coordinator Lynn is very overrated our players tackle poorly, and looked confused even on basic running plays.
Sorry folks this team was not prepared properly to win a big game.

The only half time adjustment with our defense is to put 22 players on defense, and it still wouldn’t work stopping Oregon because our players are soft.
