There is so much to get stuck into with USC’s game yesterday that went against the pre-season hype. The defensive line is supposed to be a strength. But did it dominate San Jose State? Did it stifle the running backs? Was it all over QB Luke Weaver? Luke Wafle and Jide Abasiri had good games but the rest of the line did not match the … Continue reading My USC Analysis: Was This Really A College Football Playoff Contender?
