Some USC professional fanboys were taking joy in Notre Dame’s slow start against Wisconsin on Monday night.
But they didn’t realize it just proved Lincoln Riley looked even more foolish for dropping the game off the current schedule. This USC team should be clamoring to play the Irish this season. But, no, it’s too hard.
- USC continued a time-honored tradition by having only 10 men on the field for the extra point with a 13-0 lead. Apparently, the much-ballyhoed return of special teams coach Mike Ekeler has not solved this problem.
Remember, the Trojans got penalized for having 12 men on the field for a punt against San Jose State.
The great thing when you play cupcakes is it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes. Repeatedly.
- A lot of other schools’ fans mocked USC fans for the small crowd against San Jose State. They said their fans could withstand the heat. Let’s check in on Texas State-Texas.

The problem was that LA had Texas-style humidity…including the highest dew point in the nation about a week ago at 73 degrees.

Humidity isn’t ubiquitous in Texas. Try El Paso, where the T-shirt on offer at Fort Bliss features two skeletons holding drinks in lounge chairs beneath a blinding sun with this printed beneath: “But it’s a dry heat.”

Better to have 10-men on the field (no penalty) than 12

No, in both cases it’s pathetic. One doesn’t cost you a penalty, but one could cost you a blocked kick and a game.

Badly coached teams make the same mistakes over and over, and when they do it against a top team, it costs them.
Special teams have been an issue since Helton was there, maybe before, and it’s inexcusable to not have the proper amount of players on the field for a FG, extra point, punt, it’s just sloppy coaching.

KAM: The NY Slimes reports :AI has destroyed Kenyan jobs because foreign students at Americans no longer hire them to write fake college essays. International students were by a wide margin the most frequent cheaters in all my classes. Also by a wide margin the least likely to hide that fact, they didn’t even care if everyone knew. It was as if they knew the administration cared more about the influx of full ride cash.
DON: Now AI writes the fake college essays.

Ed., don’t tell Scottie, but Maiava has completed almost 90 percent of his passes, for 5 TD, and the NFL draft guys see him as elite.
