USC Notes: Football Staff Misses Cut

You mean to tell me that allowing 1,300 yards in offense to Illinois, Notre Dame and Oregon did not get D’Anton Lynn on this list for the Broyles Award, which goes to the nation’s top assistant coach.

    1. Yes, John –it would be something.

      [btw, the rumor is: Lane only went to LSU so he could wear nylons without pants during Mardi Gras]….

      1. Kiffin will find it very very difficult to win a National Championship, period. So if LSU is looking at it as “National Championship or bust,” there will be a lot of busts coming up for ol’ Kiff

      1. on the Up Side, wolfman has promised his long awaited and much feared SC Tell-All book will be written after the conclusion of the Riley administration.

        it staggers the mind to comprehend the skeletons and scandals wolfman has scribbled into his green notebook.

        this may set the table for a titanic clash between the SC-linked Illuminati and the forces of the Classy Cadre. there are some people who WILL try to stop the publication of this epic tome.

  3. I sense some, sarcasm, yes I believe that is the term, in the D’Anton Lynn Broyles Award commentary. But to be perfectly clear, D’Anton Lynn did not perform anywhere near that level for consideration this season.

    Surprisingly, or not, USC under D’Anton Lynn this year finished right at 47th out of 134 D1 CFB teams for defense in YPG at 348.8 yards allowed, YPP at 5.57 yards allowed, and also in TDs at 35 allowed over the regular season. D’Anton would need to shave 135.3 yards per game and 1.61 yards per play off the average while giving up 25 fewer TDs to equal Ohio State at 213.5, 3.94, and 10 respectively. But take heart, because Massachusetts gave up 62 TDs over the season, Sam Houston gave up 483.5 YPG, and Rutgers gave up 7.6 YPP to anchor all of CFB for dead last in those categories.

  4. USC plays the toughest schedule next year – Fresno St. 1st game 5th Sept

    rest no dates – just locations
    @ IN, @ PA St., @ Rutgers, @ Ucla @ WI
    MD, OH St., OR, WA
    as to ‘the princess’ curiously no ‘site/city’ noted per http://www.fbschedules.com

    All need to stand with Cohen, Riley and surprisingly Bill Plaschke in standing fast against the biggest con in amateur sports and their mob of ‘deadhead’ fans that wander the earth as addicts of ‘Miss Havisham’ who just celebrated her 37th year of rejection’

    1. HI GEORGE! ACCORDING TO PLAYOFF RULE #7983.19 (c): THERE ARE GAME WEEKENDS & NON GAME WEEKENDS. NEITHER IS SUPERIOR TO THE OTHER. THE FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE STRENGTH OF A TEAM DURING A NON GAME WEEKEND IS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF TRAIN TRACKS IN THE STATE IN WHICH IT IS LOCATED MULTIPLIED BY THEIR RECORD DURING GAME WEEKENDS.”

    2. KAM: USC beat Alabama head to head and yet Alabama passed them in the 1978 UPI national championship poll.

      DON: We were told that was “early in the season” so it shouldn’t be held against them.

  9. I REMEMBER WELL HOW MAD I WAS IN 1978 WHEN THEY GAVE ALABAMA THE TITLE. AS I REMEBER IT ALABAMA GOT THE AP AND WE GOT THE UPI. THERE WERE JUST TOO MANY VOTERS IN THE EAST AND SOUTH AND WE WERE ROBBED IN THE AP.
