Why crap on UCLA? They just don't have a seasoned QB. Their defense is light years better than USC. Their running game is much better than USC. Just because the Trojans played a poor game. You don't need to put down UCLA. Weak commentary.
Were going to to suck even more with Riley and you’re right UCLA mopped the floor with that pathetic coach we have he’ll just give the BRUINS credit another ass kicking at the colleseum
The guy said: “I picked USC by three. This UCLA team is not a very good team.” Well dude, the “not very good team almost doubled up on you 38-20! What does that make USC? You guys got your butts kicked AGAIN. My favorite was the Notre Dame win!
I think that was the point they were making, UCLA is NOT a very good team and usc got crushed by them. HE was less saying UCLA is bad and more that USC is awfull. Someone struggles with comprehension me thinks? congrats on your sobriety since 6/3/81
Riley's USC ship has completely sunken to the bottom of the floor with this loss. And with the move to the Big-10 next year, it will be buried underground. Having hopes for Riley is a total waste of time, which will only prolong the misery of the program.
Outside of uneven QB play, that's a very good UCLA team. J Mike is one of the best wr in the conference and is being underutilized because of bad quarterbacking.
USC will have a very hard time winning in their new conference; could you imagine them playing Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin? They are out of their minds; all the decades of tradition flushed down the drain. When I heard they were going to the Big-10 I thought WHY??
I never liked him at Oklahoma and I don’t like any of his quarterbacks because they’ve taken on his personality, except Jalen Hurts but that’s only because Nick Saban got to him first.
@@unicornheartsnone of those QBs including Caleb Williams got better the longer they were with Riley! His offense needs a scrambling/running talent like theirs to be effective because his pass plays will breakdown series after series! The reason it didn’t work at all with Rattler and it won’t work with the freshman Nelson.
Nice work guys. Riley desperately needs to realize that you cannot prepare for a brutal game by playing patty-cake in practice. It was evident that only our talent won games. We were out-physicalled when the better teams came along. NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE TOUGHER THAN SC.
I feel like I’m watching the movie “BIG” with Tom Hanks. C’mon Ryan get the kid a suit that fits. By the way he’s been a great addition to the show he kills it every episode.
Im thinking de-ja-vu for Lincoln when the bowl time comes.And USC plays Oklahoma in the "Alamo Bowl".Question is,if that'd happened,would you even acknowledge us Sooner fans?😊😊
We usually say "it was better than a sharp stick in the eye", but in this case I would rather have a stick in the eye! Hard to believe we had such a horrible season! Fight on for next season!
I've been an SC fan since '83 and, honestly, this is the worst season I can remember, even with the likes of Tollner, Smith, Hackett, etc at the helm. This team had very little, and even the very little was underutilized. Probably the most poorly coached team, overall in 40 years. I cringe to think of what they have in store come next year in the Big 10.
Very on point evaluation, overview and honest conclusions. I suspect that Riley has lost or is close to losing the locker room. Once you lose the locker room, it is extremely difficult to get it back. Contrast that with the clear and obvious "Buy In" that Oregon players have for Dan Lanning, his staff and coaching philosophy. Night and day. That "Buy In" is incredibly valuable from a competitive and focus standpoint.
Getting the players is only half the battle, coaching them how to play is the other. Our coaching staff all the assistants needs to go, all of them, reboot is needed. Mason Cobb needs to be somewhere else too.
USC was out physically played, played with no heart or emotion. The fact we made Garbers look good is wild. He felt empowered by our defense enough to mock our V for Victory turning it down. This was ugly.
I’ll take Matt Barkley over Caleb Williams as usc fan, Matt Barkley has heart, guts even with sanctions Barkley and usc team played hard… fight on Trojans.
Barkley went into the shoe to beat Ohio State as a freshman. That takes guts. It's more about leadership than it is about stats, Heisman trophies, and dazzling plays. People became enamored with Caleb's hero ball while forgetting it takes a balanced team to accomplish bigger things.
USC players are quitting in the pattern as the pocket collapses in less than 3 seconds. Most downs, the line can’t even form a pocket. The players are quitting on Riley and their teammates. No wonder Williams has had that look on his face the last 5 weeks.
Going 5-7 and 4-8 post-Sam Darnold was pretty bad! Arizona State almost beat them too. Lincoln Riley keeps saying they’re one play away from winning a game but they were one play away from losing four.
that was uninspiring watching that game in person, and then seeing how it was shown on tv. there was no chippiness or hard-followthrough hitting, and no fight. It's like when you hear: Crowd and fans: FIGHT ON!! the team: ya...we heard you...we're trying
I wasn’t expecting a USC win, with UCLA playing way better at defense and an edge in coaching we never stood a chance. This loss was just the inevitable last nail in the coffin - and it’s not looking good for whatever low budget bowl game USC ends up at. It would be better if USC decline any bowl game invitation and spare the further humiliation.
When a coach admits, this late in the season, that he didn't do very well preparing the team, he should be fired. Why would you not already have done your best in preparing the team against a major rival? I think he has already done his best and it isn't good enough. Let's not go through years, like we did with Helton before making a course correction.
Riley doesn't know how to "fight his ass off" As the old saying goes, this SC team was "capable of losing to anyone." And now I hear that his Heisman bro wouldn't even honor seniors and run out the tunnel for the last game with them, and then sequesters him from media after game. Not unexpected if both CW & CLR leave at this point.
Another horrendous outing! Riley save us the national embarrassment and decline the bowl invitation!! You need to be out recruiting!! Putting together a respectable defensive staff, let alone a few offensive coaches that can help you from going stagnant and conservative in your playcalling! Burn that Looney Tune playbook and start over Lincoln!! And if you can't get your team better prepared and motivated to play, then find somebody that can! Most of this mess is on you Lincoln! Utterly ridiculous!
The first half of the USC season began with a collection of uncompetitive cupcake opponents and the second half of the season included the 50 - 49 point win against a weak Cal. Team and the triple OT win against an average Arizona team. The entire season led by the Heisman QB was a disaster. If this is what USC considers a satisfactory season then they could kept Clay Helton and not signed a 10 year $110 Million contract with Lincoln Riley.
Last year they won these games not this year. Let’s get better as develop our staff our players let’s do better recruiting moving forward to the Big Ten.
Unless we get a big time Defensive Coordinator, why would any top defensive prospect want to even come here? I feel bad for all the transfers who came in and probably blew their chances at the NFL.
SC basicly bought a Heisman and got a reasonabe OC (think Kif or Sark) They got a long way to go. The plus is the transfer portal - they got money to go get some guys for next year.
WE ARE LAUGHING YES. CALEB WAS THE ONLY ONE YOU STOLE THAT WE WANTED. ONLY ONE. NOW WE DON'T WANT HIM. WHEN RILEY IS GONE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE TRUTH. YOU SHOULD NOT COVET THY NEIGHBORS WIFE. SHE MIGHT HAVE V.D LOL
Lincoln Riley is a very poor fit for the Big Ten. While UCLA has plenty of problems of their own, they’re better constructed to compete in the Big Ten.
The most disappointing game I’ve ever attended . Mostly disappointed in myself for thinking they’d treat this like their bowl & outperform their effort throughout the season. Chinese New Year doesn’t have as many red flags as LinkedIn Riley right now. I pray he’s better than this. I don’t know how you make that much money and don’t know that linemen are the heart & soul of the team. I’ve taken hard losses, but this team was flat out hard to watch. ✌🏼
I had no doubt UCLA would win so long as they had either Garbers or Moore back at qb. LR is a fraud. I was so pumped for this season with Caleb coming back. I don’t even care to hear what LR had to say after the game, he’s all talk.
5 things: (1) Fire the ENTIRE defensive staff. They're a joke. (2) Hire SMU's DC Symons and his entire staff to install a top 10 defense here in the off season. (3) Find an offensive identity, not just "Caleb runs around and does something magical." (4) Hire a special teams coach, for fuck's sake. Perhaps replace S&C ? (5) Get a handle on the NIL issue to attract new commits. Forget the El Paso Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl - you're going to lose to whoever you play. Start on next season NOW or we go 5-7 our first season in the Big 10.
Reilly and Williams are 7-5. You are what your record says it is and in this case, we’re not very good including Williams and Reilly, both not Top 5 USC people and it’s not close.
CLR has the sad distinction of coaching the most pathetic Defense and Offensive Line in Trojan History, all in the same year. The OL and Strength Coaches need to be Gone, Now!
Notice the USC attitude that you can buy your way to win. This guy just assumes USC can get Lynn as DC. That’s the problem with USC’s football program. There’s an attitude of entitlement. UCLA has a roster of high quality characters and academically oriented students. They’re still very talented: top third of the future Big Ten. USC spends more than twice as much on coaching salaries and millions more on NIL than UCLA yet UCLA still has more total wins over the last 3 seasons.
@@trekranger21 Isn’t a kid that’s a grown man who gets paid to play football NIL deals sounds good lmao dude has no heart or dog in him money money money money
Disagree that it is “unacceptable” for Caleb not to speak to the media after the game. After the media raked him over the coals for crying after the loss to Washington, I don’t blame the kid for not talking today. When Caleb is making millions on Sundays in the NFL, then you can say he owes the media something. Lincoln Riley can and should take all the questions and criticisms for his team’s performance instead.
For those of you that called the 7-5 season 👏👏👏 These "journos" claiming it wouldn't happen. Seeing how that so called preseason San Jose game went it was evidence of the defense. This is the state of California, and Californians buy anything they're told. Just like in politics, minus Connor, he kept it a bit more real than most of the crew
Hard to blame Grinch now. The team, Riley, Williams have work to do. USC offense gave UCLA the ball back. USC couldn't kick through the uprights. Wasn't all defense that night despite the score. Williams is not a very good leader, snubs the media. May be a decent/good player but no real leadership.
I’ve given up on Riley-he’s been exposed this year. He’s not an effective athlete developer, he’s not a disciplinarian, he’s not any kind of a schemer at creating great plays that adjust & match up with the opposing team, & he’s not open with the local media-as if he’s got lots to hide (his bunch of weaknesses). He should be open to criticism in order to improve as a professional. He’s shown he’s not willing to improve, and therefore, I think he’s a loser at the game of football. He’s only proven he’s a QB developer, but don’t let that distract you from analyzing him as a head coach.
USC’s defense has improved slightly since the firing of Grinch. 5:17 The offense has deteriorated game after game. Other teams watch film and adjust to weaknesses. Riley plows ahead as if his play book is the word of god. To top it off, players no longer earn playing time, transfers are promised playing time as a condition of their transfer. None of them give a damn about the school, their team, teammates or our tradition. Fire Riley, no more transfers, recruits only, kids with a lifetime dream of wearing cardinal and gold.
If Paris Hilton was on the sidelines yesterday that’s all USC would care about. As it happens, they had to settle for Olivia Rodrigo. Football is secondary now to gimmicks and celebrity worship and it shows. UCLA is in the same city and they care about playing football. USC just wants their NIL deals and money.
Caleb didn’t need to talk to you guys because he already knows you are all going to ask him the same question in 5 different ways. “Caleb, was this your last game as a Trojan?”. I wouldn’t want to hear it either.
@@unicornhearts you are just a sore loser. How is Caleb going to a post game presser going to make the season any different? Man up and move on, it’s over!!
LR "almost there" 🤣😂 Pls forfeit the bowl game!! Can't watch another game like this. . Tons of players hitting the portal and I don't blame them. Players are not being developed!! 🤔
How about this....We don't have any SoCal players on the team. When you don't have players that live here and know what this game means to everyone/fans, then you get something like this.
We’ve seen him sitting on the bench pouting by himself after a game and not shake hands. If losing makes him more humble then he needs to lose more. “Fuck Utah” when Utah keeps beating USC. His mom did his nails instead of spanking his ass when he was little.
USC thinks they’re so special but they don’t play or win like they are. They only cared about having Olivia Rodrigo and it showed. UCLA is in the same city and they don’t act that way. All hype and no substance. They just want NIL deals and don’t even care about winning anymore. That’s why they’ll never win the games that matter. No conference championships, no playoffs, no bowl wins.
#FireRiley should have been done at the end of last season. That was the first sign that something was rotten. Riley is damaged goods. If an NFL team exists that would take him USC would be better for it 🙏🏼
Hey Caleb, everyone knows you're disappointed. The press is the conduit through which you reach the public. It's about accountability. You're going to be drafted by a poor NFL team and there are going to be tough times. Really tough times. You HAVE to hold your head up and own the process. "I'm crushed by this -- I gave it my all. But I can assure you I will live to fight another day." That's all.
Accourding to the Gospel of Riley we're close: We just need A: New DC New strength & conditioning coach New Offensive line coach New QB New recuiting director New Secondary Room New LB room New Special Teams Coach New Practice Approach A number 1 WR New Defensive Staff A new Pandemic to stop them from having to face the brutal 2024 schedule shorthanded.
If USC played Arizona today, they'd get blown out, I think.
Absolutely!
If SC plays the Jesse Owens generals (97th and Western) we might get beat.
"UCLA is not very good" Defense looked pretty "good" to me!
Now, now, it's not nice to mock the butt hurt.

Very on point evaluation, overview and honest conclusions. I suspect that Riley has lost or is close to losing the locker room.

That's the problem... Riley is a OC not a head coach...All he wants to do is tinker with the offense.
He did manage to win a lot of games as the HC at OU...Maybe it's an SC issue...
The offense has fallen off a cliff too, last half of the season offense has gotten worse every game

Didn't matter you didn't have the personell to get the job done all season.
😂😂😂😂😂 how y’all like Riley now!!! Thank you for taking the turd😂😂😂
For those of you that called the 7-5 season 👏👏👏 These "journos" claiming it wouldn't happen. Seeing how that so called preseason San Jose game went it was evidence of the defense. This is the state of California, and Californians buy anything they're told. Just like in politics, minus Connor, he kept it a bit more real than most of the crew
Hard to blame Grinch now. The team, Riley, Williams have work to do. USC offense gave UCLA the ball back. USC couldn't kick through the uprights. Wasn't all defense that night despite the score. Williams is not a very good leader, snubs the media. May be a decent/good player but no real leadership.
L.R just doesn’t get it. He is the problem
I wish Riley would leave
I’ve given up on Riley-he’s been exposed this year. He’s not an effective athlete developer, he’s not a disciplinarian, he’s not any kind of a schemer at creating great plays that adjust & match up with the opposing team, & he’s not open with the local media-as if he’s got lots to hide (his bunch of weaknesses). He should be open to criticism in order to improve as a professional. He’s shown he’s not willing to improve, and therefore, I think he’s a loser at the game of football. He’s only proven he’s a QB developer, but don’t let that distract you from analyzing him as a head coach.
Its not a bye week, the regukar season is over!! why schedule a bye week at the end they could have used it during the season
USC’s defense has improved slightly since the firing of Grinch. 5:17
The offense has deteriorated game after game.
Other teams watch film and adjust to weaknesses. Riley plows ahead as if his play book is the word of god.
To top it off, players no longer earn playing time, transfers are promised playing time as a condition of their transfer.
None of them give a damn about the school, their team, teammates or our tradition.
Fire Riley, no more transfers, recruits only, kids with a lifetime dream of wearing cardinal and gold.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Usc can at least be proud to have some of the highest paid players in college football.
They probably are proud of that.
Paris Hilton would toss 3 TDS Vs USC. Not sure how USC D players walk on campus without paper bags to hide their faces
If Paris Hilton was on the sidelines yesterday that’s all USC would care about. As it happens, they had to settle for Olivia Rodrigo. Football is secondary now to gimmicks and celebrity worship and it shows. UCLA is in the same city and they care about playing football. USC just wants their NIL deals and money.
Caleb didn’t need to talk to you guys because he already knows you are all going to ask him the same question in 5 different ways. “Caleb, was this your last game as a Trojan?”. I wouldn’t want to hear it either.
He needs to man up and stop being such a bad sport. He didn’t have a mama who would spank his ass when he was little.
@@unicornhearts you are just a sore loser. How is Caleb going to a post game presser going to make the season any different? Man up and move on, it’s over!!
LR "almost there" 🤣😂
Pls forfeit the bowl game!!
Can't watch another game like this.
.
Tons of players hitting the portal and I don't blame them. Players are not being developed!! 🤔
The only good news coming is the new DC.
Lack of effort, focus and no heart… rumor is Reilly is headed to Texas A&M
UCLA has one of the best defenses in the country. But a shitty offense. Lincoln has never had a great defense.
How about this....We don't have any SoCal players on the team. When you don't have players that live here and know what this game means to everyone/fans, then you get something like this.
It means nothing to the NFL if doesn't speak after a game.
It means fines. No one cares about you being a diva crybaby bad sport in the NFL.
We’ve seen him sitting on the bench pouting by himself after a game and not shake hands. If losing makes him more humble then he needs to lose more. “Fuck Utah” when Utah keeps beating USC. His mom did his nails instead of spanking his ass when he was little.
USC thinks they’re so special but they don’t play or win like they are. They only cared about having Olivia Rodrigo and it showed. UCLA is in the same city and they don’t act that way. All hype and no substance. They just want NIL deals and don’t even care about winning anymore. That’s why they’ll never win the games that matter. No conference championships, no playoffs, no bowl wins.
Another great loss for Lincoln! Give that man a raise.
Its guys they brought in its poor play calling, its poor scheme, it's not being physical.
Just watch our press conferences from when he was here in Norman it's all the same BS at every press conference and every year!
#FireRiley should have been done at the end of last season. That was the first sign that something was rotten. Riley is damaged goods. If an NFL team exists that would take him USC would be better for it 🙏🏼
Hey Caleb, everyone knows you're disappointed. The press is the conduit through which you reach the public. It's about accountability. You're going to be drafted by a poor NFL team and there are going to be tough times. Really tough times. You HAVE to hold your head up and own the process. "I'm crushed by this -- I gave it my all. But I can assure you I will live to fight another day." That's all.
In the NFL you have to do postgame pressers.
Boomer sooner baby!!!
Playing LSU, ND, and a BIG 10 schedule is gonna be tough.
Accourding to the Gospel of Riley we're close:
We just need A:
New DC
New strength & conditioning coach
New Offensive line coach
New QB
New recuiting director
New Secondary Room
New LB room
New Special Teams Coach
New Practice Approach
A number 1 WR
New Defensive Staff
A new Pandemic to stop them from having to face the brutal 2024 schedule shorthanded.
