USC Morning Buzz: Don’t Forget The Propoganda That Got Us Here

It’s easy to forget some aspects of USC that the paid propogandists pushed all offseason and have conveniently forgotten as the season heads south.

Remember we were constantly told how USC returned the most starters and the most returning production?

A prime example of this was the offensive line. I never understood this. If players are not getting it done as juniors, what makes you think they will have a sudden transformation as seniors? It happens with coaching but who is coaching at USC?

  • Remember the bragging about what the strength coach was doing? There was a whole thing from the paid propogandists about players losing or gaining weight on the eve of training camp.

At the time, I wrote, “I don’t care about weight. I care about performance.” We were told defensive tackle Jamaal Jarrett went from 375 pounds to 360. What happened to him? Does he play?

  • Here’s another indictment of Lincoln Riley. He has whined about the schedule, the travel, teams coming off byes, etc.

But has USC played a good team yet? It has two losses and still hasn’t played anyone of note. Oregon has three losses. Dylan Raiola has looked terrible in every game except USC. But the Ducks were literally the only team USC played that could pass and run the ball.

Who else did USC play? Wisconsin? Penn State? Washington? Could any of them pass the ball proficiently?

This schedule was tailor made for a good coach to mow down a bunch of one-dimensional teams. And Lincoln Riley bungled it.

This might go down as a generational miss for having an opportunity to really do something in the playoffs. Of course, if USC beats Ohio State, Indiana and UCLA . . .

  1. DON: If the big 3 games coming up for SC were 50-50 games then the Trojans still would have only one chance in 8 of winning them all

    KAM: Of course they aren’t 50-50 games, so what do you think SC’s chances are, one in a trillion?

    • Jason Eck philosophy on football
    • Pro-Style Foundations with Modern Flair: He utilizes a pro-style offensive framework but heavily incorporates spread elements, RPOs (run-pass options), and creative pre-snap motion to keep defenses off-balance.
    • Establishing the Run: His offenses are inherently physical. He prioritizes a dominant running game to wear down opposing defensive lines, open up play-action shots, and control the game clock.
    • Adapting to Personnel: Rather than forcing players into a rigid system, Eck alters his scheme to fit his talent. At Idaho, he shifted strategies seamlessly depending on whether his quarterback was a dynamic runner or a pocket passer.

    Defensive Philosophy: Aggressive & Complementary Play

    Eck demands a fast, disruptive defense that feeds directly into the success of the offense.

    • Generating Negative Plays: His defensive units emphasize creating havoc in the backfield through calculated blitz packages, stunts, and aggressive defensive line play.
    • Forcing Turnovers: A major metric of success in an Eck-led program is winning the turnover battle. The defense is coached to strip the ball and jump passing lanes to give the offense short field positioning.
    • Complementary Football: The defensive game plan is tightly coupled with the offense. If the offense is built to control time of possession, the defense focuses on getting quick stops and forcing field goals over long touchdowns.

  4. Jason Eck’s Philosophy

    Handling Adversity: Run the ball, lean on the offensive line, and slow the game down to regain physical control.

    In-Game Goal: Dictate physical terms, win time of possession, and wear out the opponent’s depth by the 4th quarter.

    The “Ideal” Drive: A 14-play, 75-yard drive featuring mid-zone runs and devastating play-action passes.

    Lincoln Riley’s Philosophy

    Handling Adversity: Hunt for an explosive chunk play, alter the passing concept, and trust the QB to make an off-platform play.

    In-Game Goal: Score quickly, force the opponent out of their game plan, and use scoreboard pressure to dictate terms.

    The “Ideal” Drive: A 4-play, 80-yard drive that isolates an elite receiver on a safety for a deep touchdown.

    2. I’m good with that. You probably know the state of coaching availabilities better than me. I suggested Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz (beat Day and Ohio State in a Cotton Bowl, Florida multiple times, had Georgia beat at Athens … has produced multiple high NFL picks at multiple positions to include offensive and defensive line, linebacker, and wide receiver … wants to run whenever possible – national rushing leader three years ago, then last year Hardy was top 2 in the nation, and this year Roberts with back-to-back 200 yard games … has attitude).

  5. wolfman, i have a serious question for you: which is more cringy/insufferable:

    A) the players dancing around holding up juice boxes while doing chorus-girl high kicks.

    B) The lil’ fellow constantly tapping Lil’ Lord Fauntleroy’s shoulder between plays

    1. C) Wiley embarrassingly crying and throwing a hissy fit on the sideline (despite Wisconsin getting by far the worse end of the officiating stick)
