Curious to see what USC does this weekend. They’ve looked pretty good, are coming out of a bye week , and starting to get some pub. They have to travel to Wisconsin, who is much improved this year.

During Riley’s USC tenure, 13 outta 19 losses have come away from the Coliseum. All the home losses have come against ranked teams or UCLA (Chip Kelly 2023).

During the B1G portion of his tenure, in true regular season road games (eliminating two 2024 games: neutral Vegas site opener against LSU and @ UCLA); he is 4-7 (0-4 in 2024; 2-3 in 2025 (Purdue + Nebraska); and 2-0 this year (Rutgers + Penn State)). Wisconsin beat Penn State by 4 on the road; USC beat them by 8.

It is a very intriguing match up.

Wisconsin is not a bad team. This game is under the radar for the most part but it could have potential playoff ramifications. It will prove to me how good USC is essentially.
Hopefully they are not overlooking this team and thinking about O$U.

Forgot about OSU being on deck. Even better.

I think USC will be formidable in the playoffs

Agreed especially with how young their team is; the only dilemma is they might not make it there to begin with. They can only afford 1 loss and there are 4 possible losses left on their 5 game schedule.

They remind me of ‘24 Canes a bit. 3rd in points per drive this season. They’ll get no sympathy at 9-3 because they avoided a p4 ooc opponent. Like if it’s between them and 9-3 Texas, Texas has a much better resume.

Miami had this same problem during the Larry Coker era once Butch's recruits started leaving.

We had this problem when i got to school last decade too. Seantrel Henderson being a chief proponent / victim of being lost in the sauce. Taylor gadbois a bit too, although he had a lot of issues

**** you just unlocked a deep cut memory mentioning Seantrel Henderson and Taylor Gadbois.
 
The two best defenses at limiting points per drive are New Mexico (.75) and North Dakota State (.98). Miami is 17th at (1.45). Pitt is 30th at (1.68). Blake Baker-led defense LSU is 3rd at (1.11). I don’t suspect that’ll continue for LSU.
