USC Morning Buzz: Now Here’s A Coach Who Takes Responsibility

Now this is a coach who take responsibility for his sideline and doesn’t just hold a play sheet like Charles Nelson Riley.

I’d love to see Jason Eck destroy a juice box.

  • UCLA QB Ty Dieffenbach after the Wisconsin game:

“Growing up here, you want to go play for UCLA. You don’t want to play for USC, where I’m from.”

Dieffenbach went to Agoura High School. You know who else went there? Former USC linebacker Clay Matthews. And former USC offensive lineman Kevin Graf.

So I’m not sure everyone from Agoura wants to go to UCLA.

  • The official attendance at the UCLA-Wisconsin game was 36,045. This has caused consternation among some fans who thought the crowd looked bigger. It was also a disappointing number because Wisconsin brought a good crowd and because UCLA students are back in school.

  1. Well with Chesney at UCLA (headed to playoffs in year one) and Riley at SC, can’t blame kids for wanting to go to UCLA.

    Besides WRs why go to SC? NIL money, I guess. If UCLA commits to NIL then watch out.

    It hurts to realize UCLA will probably lock down socal recruiting like Pete did.

    Meanwhile, Riley runs all over the country, ignoring his backyard, because he wants to maintain his national recruiting network for his next job.

    I am dreading an era where UCLA owns LA college football. The consolation is that Chesney will likely be hired away fairly quickly.

  2. Both Wisconsin and UCLA are winnable teams for USC if they play disciplined. The stupid penalties like holding receivers and running into the QB destroy any momentum that USC may be getting, especially the third and long penalties that keep drives alive for inferior opponents. If UCLA keeps winning, they will get their share of good local high school players, but so will USC. It will all be about the coaching and right now Chesney is more charismatic than LR. Let’s see how the rest of the season plays out and who wins the actual showdown game. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

  3. I do think turnover belts are ok as it is dependent on making a play on the field for your team.

    But juice boxes for no other reason than that they are just there? Dumb AF.

    PS: Diessenbacher should be able to share his personal observations without fear of reprisal from angry trOJies!! same thing WHERE I GREW UP, kid came around wearing an SC shirt, we sent him running home to momma with only the collar remaining around his neck!

    1. If only your Brui(sed)ns football teams had played with that much toughness and swagger over the years!

      Seriously, not usually a fan of jawjacking, but when it’s done right (right way and/or right time and place) … I’m good with Diessenbacher talking some smack – your team should be fired up about what they’ve accomplished. But there is some season left to play … one thing to talk smack at midseason … but now we’ll see what is what and who is who … (just as a reminder, we already know who Charles Nelson Riley/Miley Wiley Coyote is … but how will the projected playoff seed hang around the neck and shoulders … we will now watch with great interest!) …

      1. Haha, agree the kid is feeling his oats, I might have told him cool it with the smack talk, but what the heck, I have to like that he is feeling confident!
