Why can’t USC cover tight ends?
Oregon tight end Jamari Johnson was targeted seven times and caught seven passes for 119 yards. He was actually 8 for 8 but a great one-handed catch at the end of the first half was called back for a penalty.
Grandpa Patterson doesn’t cover the tight end. Neither did D’Anton Lynn nor Alex Grinch.
- I first called Lincoln Riley a fraud about 4-5 years ago. Paul Finebaum used the same word this morning: “Everybody knows who the fraud is. It’s Lincoln Riley…this guy is bringing your program down to the gutter.”
- One of Riley’s biggest media supporters, Josh Pate, also seems to finally have had enough. “I’m done. Lincoln Riley’s not going to do it for me. I’m done.”
- Why doesn’t Lincoln Riley let Gary Patterson speak to the media? Patterson has more experience doing it than anyone at USC. And it would be great to know why he is doing certain things schematically with the defense.
- Did everyone forget how Riley said the new football building was going to make a huge difference?
- These USC fan journalists really are the gift that keep on giving:
As Miguelito would say, “This is not a time for criticism…. this is a time for multiplying …by a factor of ten…. our support.”

“After enough suffering!” Are you talking after the Washington game? Or later after Penn State?

DON: Presumably it is an indictment on his coaching ability, but why then did Oklahoma fans become so angry when he left for SC?

I guess I was just a stinkin’ fanboy back in the day with the hire of Riley when I got excited about the future of USC football.
Scottie (sadly) nailed it then, and he has literally called it correct 99% of the time since then, including the debacles with the defense, special teams, covering the tight end, covering…well, just about any eligible receiver, clock management, play calling…
All of the new coaches, including coordinators, reeks of Lynn Swann’s decision to replace pretty much everyone on Helton’s coaching staff after Helton lost to Notre Dame in 2016 or maybe 17
The issue now is only partially the fact that Riley and Helton are tied 58 games in, at 39-18. The Stephens issue, including the awful sideline antics, is not going away, because of the ridiculous AI-generated apologies (“that is not who Desman is!”), and the fact that Riley didn’t announce in the post-game presser that Desman is being suspended indefinitely.

67 — It wasn’t even A.I. generated —they stole JuJu’s apology to Vontaze Burfict WORD For WORD [you know, after he slammed Burfict to the ground and stood over him —which actually made me happy & I wished he wasn’t even forced to apologize for it]…….
