First, let’s just mention that six Big Ten teams lost yesterday. The best conference in the nation? USC cannot play Notre Dame because it has all those tough Big Ten games? This is why no one should ever listen to Charles Nelson Riley. Now to the game: I noticed last night people suddenly started saying things I’ve been saying since Game 1. Does everyone realize … Continue reading My USC-Louisiana Post-Game Analysis

Some of the USC defensive backs and linebackers are having real trouble covering people. USC with three personal foul penalties tonight. Trent Mosley’s 86-yard punt return should put the game away.
