USC Back or Pretender?

[Tru C]

Went 4-8 last year.

I am not sure yet.

They have an entirely new roster last year doesn't matter.

 

[Empirical Cane]

They played efficiently last night in all 3 phases of game.

Meanwhile in Coral Gables, Hurricanes practiced their latest Benny Hill skit.

Al I know is, that offense looks fun to play in. Any WR should want to play there. I wish our offense even resembled there’s even in the slightest way. Smh.

 

[BeastMode]

He will win out there. Pac 12 sucks. With the transfer rule plus recruiting he will always have elite skill positions.

 

[moshated305]

I think they lose one they shouldn't, maybe even 2.

 

[Angry Ibis]

The perception of the PAC-12 is a funny one on this board….

 

[stormsurge]

that defense is beyond awful

get to cfb playoffs, lose in cfb playoffs

Please expound my good sir?

 

[Edward20]

I guess they had great culture from Helton and all their recent success

 

[Angry Ibis]

Please expound my good sir?

In terms of USC being back: PAC-12 is very weak

In terms of Mario’s success: PAC-12 conference champion, staunch competitors with a fierce pride and culture, Saban looking over his shoulder

Maybe I slightly exaggerated the fierce pride..

I don’t want to get into the playoffs until we can win the championship.

Their defense is ranked 100th nationally and they let an very bad Arizona State—with an interim head coach—hang in there with them until the fourth quarter.

Offense is fire. Defense is a ****.

They are nowhere near "back" but Lincoln Riley runs a great offense and should recruit well there. Needs to solve his defensive problems. We'll see.

They don't play a ranked team this year and they've beaten Rice, Stanford, Fresno State. Oregon State and Arizona State. Hardly a Murder's Row schedule.

They get Washington State at home next week (Pullman would be a different animal) and they hit the road for a decent Utah team and a bad Arizona squad.

California Colorado, UCLA and Notre Dame to end the season.

Probably looking at 10-2 with that set-up and a Pac-12 South title, unless Utah beats them and wins it again.

Miami should of done everything possible to hire Lincoln Riley

 

[Angry Ibis]

Plus it appears that Lincoln is a ruthless savage…he brought his two studs from OU and had been recruiting CA hard in preparation for this. Grabbed Addison from the portal and has the offense looking good.

They are likely not National Championship back, but they are off to a good start for the first year coach to build in a talent rich area that they own when cooking.

Should be fun to watch them.

Fair points.

USC D isn't letting MTSU hang 45 on them though.

 

[Cane&Abel]

They on the doorsteps ..we still outside the gate !

Bet you thought the same about Miami after we played TAMU

MTSU let us hang around.
