My Analysis Of A Leaderless Effort Vs. Oregon
I said last night this was one of the most shameful USC losses I ever witnessed and now I will explain. It had nothing to do with losing to Oregon. That was something I knew had a pretty good chance of happening. No, the shame started with the controversial hit by linebacker Desman Stephens and then USC’s reaction. It all stems from having a gutless … Continue reading My Analysis Of A Leaderless Effort Vs. Oregon

USC-Oregon Live Blog
That was one of the most shameful USC losses I’ve witnessed. The blame squarely falls on Charles Nelson Riley. But let’s talk about the recruiting class. Garbage quote after the game from Riley: “If we’re as good as I think we can be, then we will flip this, we will take this as a positive and grow from it.” Grandpa Patterson held Oregon to 505 … Continue reading USC-Oregon Live Blog

USC Morning Buzz: Beware Long Explanations
Does this explanation make sense from Lincoln Riley regarding the foot injury that has kept Jahkeem Stewart sidelined the first four games? “He’s definitely getting better and better each week, and hopefully not too far away,” Riley said. “We were planning to play him a little bit against Louisiana, provided the warmup went perfect. It didn’t go bad. It just didn’t go perfect and just … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Beware Long Explanations
