USC Morning Buzz: Some Post-Ohio State Victory Thoughts

This is the view of former USC wide receiver Brandon Carswell.

One thing that stuck in my head Saturday night was the USC fans who a week earlier were chiding Wisconsin fans for storming the field. They would say it was different beating the No. 2 team in the nation . . . with a true freshman QB making his first start.

  • Would John McKay, John Robinson or Pete Carroll put out a note to read after a USC game like Charles Nelson Riley?

Paul Hackett, Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian never did either. Did Riley write “Adios” as the last word of the letter or did he improvise that part?

  • How bad was the Big Ten officiating crew that went 0 for 3 on interception calls?
  • Ohio State is 6-4 in their past 10 games, much to their angry fan base’s chagrin.
  • OK, this is a 30-year reference, but as Ohio State slowly moved down the field and took nearly six minutes to score a touchdown, it reminded me of the 1995 USC-UCLA game.

USC trailed 24-14 and took nine minutes and eight seconds in 18 plays to score a touchdown in the fourth quarter. In another coincidence, USC then went for 2 points and didn’t make it.

I didn’t understand why Ohio State went for 2 on Saturday because when the play was unsuccessful it basically put the game away.

  • Former USC pitching star Randy Flores is the new general manager of the Houston Astros.

  1. Refereeing was indeed awful.

    The NFL pays officials upwards of $350,000 per season. D1 NCAA pay is about $4000 per game.

    Then there was the fumble-scoop TD for USC that wasn’t even reviewed…

  2. Early odds for the SC-Indiana game have the Trojans as 10-point underdogs.

    But that same publication has SC as 10 1/2 point favorites over ucla. Must be a misprint

    1. You’re replying to someone who was too cowardly to predict the OSU score, but stupid enough to knock people who predicted incorrectly.

      So don’t worry about her having the balls to bet the farm.
