Reggie got his heisman back! FTFO! ✌️
All of sudden they wanna start hating 😂
I don’t know how you can say it’s going to take multiple years for Lynn have an above average defense at USC when he was able to take UCLA from an 87th ranked defense in 2022 to a top 10 ranked defense in 2023 with a top 2 run defense. All without major staff or player changes. And he did it starting in February.
Because this is real life and while he’s done it once under certain circumstances does not guarantee he’ll do it again
@@CGalum09 it doesn’t guarantee he will do it again but it sure does make a hell of a case that he knows how to rapidly improve a defense in a short period of time with what’s already on the roster
USC’s defense is way harder to correct than UCLA’s. You’re underestimating just how bad USC’s defense is.
@@CFBNateactually no, the players usc had were actually better than ucla , grinchs scheme had favorites playing instead of the ones who should have been playing . But youll see
@@CFBNate do you know where UCLAs defense was ranked compared to USCs in 2022? They were pretty similar. And in 2023 Lynn didn’t get the major defensive staff upgrade that he just got at USC. And USC is going into a conference that isn’t known for having good offenses
Speaking of USC, San Diego's finest gets his heisman back!
I don’t give AF about noun of that today I’m High on that Reggie Bush ⛽️ 🌳. Let’s go USC
Pate is saying and assuming the opposite of what’s being reported out there. Lynn installs his defense very slowly so no the staff did not meet and “throw everything at the players to learn” It’s weird that you’d so confidently report this while what has been factually reported is the exact opposite of how D’Anton coached at UCLA and how he has been confirmed to coach at USC. They don’t overwhelm the players, they keep it simple, so there is no overthinking on the field. UCLA went from to 88 to 11 in one year which is insane. If we break top 40-50 I’ll be super happy and that is a reasonable expectation.
It feels like if he can say anything negative about USC, he jumps on it. Keep sleeping Josh…keep sleeping 😉
Goodness you people are delusional. Take it from an Oklahoma fan who had to watch a complete rebuild after your coach gutted our program. Oklahoma brought in one of the best defensive minds in the history of college football and finally in year three he finally has the depth to compete with the big boys. Y'all think a simple change of staff and adding a couple good players means a huge turnaround which is insane considering your schedule and new conference. On top of all that didn't he still keep that ridiculous strength and conditioning Coach??
You’re a casual and a hater. Benny Wylie is a great strength and conditioning coach we have bigger players then OU our d line is way nuggets then OU he was just doing what grinch wanted and he angels amall fast players
@TheBenzwanger no it is not insane because the majority of the B1G does not have good offenses. They have bad offenses. You going to be delusional and say Minnesota, Rutgers, Wisconsin, UCLA, Maryland and Nebraska are going to have elite offenses? The B1G doesn't even have any elite starting quarterbacks. Will Howard? Drew Allar? Alex Orji? Freshman Dylan Raiola? If Brent had to coach against those quarterbacks and those offenses, you'd be salivating over it. Also it's funny that you are still obsessed about USC considering I have seen you make comments for the last 2 and a half years and you still seem to be annoyed by anything that USC is doing to improve themselves. Sooner or later you are just going to forget about your team because you are so invested in watching USC clips because of your obsession and stupidity to make comments.
@@TheBenzwangerlol your on another USC article???Let it go bro go worry about Oklahoma
Just keep giving us ammo 😂😂😂
Bro, you haven’t even seen them tackle yet
@@timothydesanto5822ok and? So i count them out rn????! Gtfoh
This the same dude that hype Miami every year lol
Hype your mama every night too
Yes but also same dude who speaks more facts than majority of talking heads
“ you can’t just revolutionize a defense on a whim!”. Meanwhile ucla did exactly that in 1 yr. And USC hired the dude who did that. Here is what I will say to you. Just because you say it, doesn’t make it fact. You don’t need to explain a damn thing. That’s for the fools who need the explanation. The USC defense will be turned around this year and I will see you in a few months right or wrong. Can’t wait to see who is dealing truth
@@okmiok i believe it brother ! Fight on ✌🏽🫡
@@okmiok The guy that did it at UCLA is at USC now. It will take as long as it takes. It was not instantaneous at UCLA either.
D'Anton did it with UCLA last year... why cant he do it with USC this year?
SC is going to kick the big10 ass this year
lol no punk
This is the same dude that said USC didn’t have a top 4 most improved defensive staff in colllege football this offseason, when almost every major cfb media outlet (shoutout JD Pickell) has said it’s arguably the best staff turnover in the entire country.
Look, I like Josh. But he has even eluded to the fact that he comes from the south. And when he was growing up, the south hated USC, because quite frankly, they were so dominant. Do I think he currently hates USC? No. Does he like them? No. He just does a better job at times of hiding his anti-USC bias
CBK did better at LSU. JD is no more of an expert that Pate ASate.
The USC defense will improve significantly. If they rank in the 90’s-80’s that will be a massive improvement. Just being lined up would be a massive improvement.
It will be a 1 year deal Josh. Keep watching. ✌🏾
Josh just don’t talk about USC no more we know you don’t like SC… Just continue to talk about Ohio state and and SEC
He doesn't like Ohio State either. He just has to talk about them to get views.
What reason does he have to like USC
@@michaelshawusa1 1 stop liking your own comments that’s childish and 2 no one said he had to like USC but if your gonna be a reporter on college football you need be non bias and honest and fair with ALL TEAMS. Cause no team is perfect
@@Rob_unoI didn’t like my own comment. If you were half as smart as you thought you were, you’d be an astronaut.
@@michaelshawusa1 lmao you just liked your own comment again I can clearly see it with my plugin for this app but carry on lmao
The question is will USC be different. Please tell me in what world can you put together an A+ defensive staff, add major pieces on defense and change their philosophy and we’re saying they won’t be different? If the defense can be serviceable the BIG10 is done, they will not compete. We will see what will happen
As a guy who's been involved in football 40 years, 17 as a player.... I think that YES it's possible to completely revamp a defense 180• in just one year.(especially in today's college game). Defense is more straight forward. I was a SS in college before I was moved to RB and can tell you that if you put 11 mean MFers on the field..... and simplify the scheme.... great things are possible. I hope you'll have to eat your words by seasons end.
Josh! Please continue to BAD MOUTH USC Defense! I love it! Great bulletin board material for our defense! I notice you never talk about USC OFFENSE! B10 will not be ready for our offense! Fight On! Angel USC'78
'Look Larry..have you ever heard of Vietnam?...you're entering a world of pain, son.'
USC and LSU have been almost parallel programs over the last two years and both have made great improvements in their defensive staff. So, why does Josh think LSU is the most improved "and it's not even close," while USC is still working on an introductory class? So great to have these two meet on week one to compare notes.
I think it’s because LSU defense had some players but poor coaching. And USC seemed to have nothing
@@chisaegbelu9171 The title of the original video is "Josh Pate's On CFB's MOST Improved Defensive Staffs", so talent shouldn't be a factor.
USC has the potential to be a monster. Whether Riley is the guy to bring them back is yet to be seen. I'll believe it when I see it.
Our defense going to shock the nation. BOOK IT! Fight On✌🏿
Unless their defense improves drastically, I see them going no better than 7-5 against that schedule. That’s a tough schedule.
This is very objective reporting
Lots of big talk by Lincoln Riley about changing the mentality of the program and being more physical, then he comes out and plays two-hand touch 🤣
Win one championship, hater.
I think things could potentially get worse before they get better considering they had to tear everything down
Why Southern dudes hate on USC so much
Reggie bush got his heisman back Trojans fans fight on✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾😁
Went 8-5 with no discernable defense.....facts defense will be much better AND put up about 40 points per game....I will ride with that.....
I don't see them putting 40 a game, they have better defense in the BIG10 too, they will score but I don't think they'll avg 40 or more per game.
@bigboivito not impressed with the big 10....ps riley offenses average 40 ish each and every year....this is fact NOT opinion...I will take my chances with SC each week....
@@musingsofawokehebrew3356 What happens when LR meets up with Big and SEC defenses?
@user-xp6qd4sk1j he wins or he loses....just like the big 10 or sec team.....everyone get can get their ass kicked....we will put up around 40 points and see what happens....
So D'Anton Lynn can take a horrible ucla defense from #87 to the #11 in the country last year, but it's a multi-year slow climb at USC this year? Make it make sense to yourself and to us Josh! Yes, he needs 2-3 DTs from the portal. The only thing stopping USC is USC.
Keep the hate coming!!! This stuff just makes it that much sweeter when USC gets back on top!
It is only a matter of time... Probably not this year, but Conquest is coming!!! ✌
Lincoln Riley had to make changes, having wasted the tenure of Caleb Williams. But USC has had trouble with physical teams going back to the Pete Carroll era. They gave up 42 points to Fresno State in 2005 and were only saved because Reggie Bush (who FINALLY got his Heisman back!) had 513 total yards. They couldn't handle Quizz Rodgers and lost to Oregon State in 2006, then couldn't handle Stanford's power running game (lost to Tavita Pritchard in 2007, gave up 55 points to Toby Gerhart in '09.) They've consistently been unable to stop Utah. When Oregon had that Chip Kelly running offense USC couldn't stop it, not to mention giving up 43 and then 62 points to Arizona State. This has been an institutionalized USC problem for 20 years now, *not* just a Lincoln Riley thing.
huh
Huh..... every great college football team has had its own issues in the past, Alabama, OSU, Georgia, Michigan, LSU etc. Go look it up you 🤡😂🤣🤡
@@jayvto5992 Alabama's Achilles heel has been special teams... going all the way back to "Punt Bama Punt".
@@jayvto5992 usc legit had top 5-10 defenses under carroll?????? you made a clown comment my g
@@dentonyoung4314 Nice revisionist history 😂😂 Pete Carrol had some of the best defenses in CFB history at USC. Look at the stats & the players they produced.
“ you can’t just revolutionize a defense on a whim!”. Meanwhile ucla did exactly that in 1 yr. And USC hired the dude who did that. Here is what I will say to you. Just because you say it, doesn’t make it fact. You don’t need to explain a damn thing. That’s for the fools who need the explanation.

UCLA had less talent, and still turned their defense around in the league that has the best offense, making it harder to defend. USC now has a way better staff than UCLA did, and more talent, and they are facing less talented offenses. To say that USC will still suck at defense, Pate you got some nerves.
I get your points, BUT "well below average"? Nope. Grinch was that bad last year, that the underclassmen defense womped Louisville with an assistant coach and a Grad assistant at the helm,
Oh baby, this is going to age wonderfully (FTFO)
Not sure how going from one of the worst defensive staffs in the country (yes, even Donte Williams) to one of the best (Eric Hendersen, Matt Entz, D'Anton Lynn) won't have a significant impact. Scheme, credibility, coaching matter.
USC will score points through the air but they are undersized on both lines of scrimmage and at running back. They will go 7-5 and lose to the likes of Minnesota, Rutgers, and Wisconsin.
I disagree. Any team can improve with a change in philosophy and approach. Its a mindset and all about putting players on the right position.
Ohhh, Larry... I think you may have just been turned into a meme...
No you not. That sc secondary looked pretty weak in spring game.
Why is it USC fans look at their program as bi-polar. As in either theyvare the best in everything havr the best players elite in ciaches or suck? Its ok to just be good and have places to get better. Its like in the glfans of USC monds time stopped after Pete and each year is right after the Pete years. USC will be ok. 8 to 9 wins is ok to have while building. Have several seats, stop talking, and get on your grind.
I feel like Josh greatly misread Larry’s point
Still starts from the top down. Weather that’s in the professional world or within a football program. Riley has said a lot of things that’s just BS. It knows it’s the right thing to say. Do we really think that making a defensive change was all on LR? Hell no. Whether the administration pushed as well as the fan base pushing for a change, I think there is plenty to offer historical facts that he may not have even made that change last year without getting g the outside pressure. He’s a narcissist and wanted to prove he could win with his Mike Leadh philosophy and the fact is he’s he could win but he never could win what everyone else o. The outside wanted. He has always had the “ I do t know why everyone is upset we won 11 games and won the Big 12 “ regardless of how bad his ass got new In the post season.
So I’ll see it when I believe it. Lar’s MOhas always been losing g guys that he gets commitments from early on in the process. Again those are tangible facts. Saying it’s going to be different is a complete guess. I’ll put my money on facts.
Take it from a 49 year old man. You don’t just completely change who you are and most don’t change at all. I’ll roll with the facts once again rather than something t we have never seen before. Again, things have to change from the top down and that means more than just some change in the staff.
Whether
I hope USC moves in the wrong direction and Michigan follows them
I'm a USC fan and I'm soooo angry! We are an offensive program. So what if our defense is one of the worst in all of college football???? I'm going to get you Pater hater 😤
P.S. I'm not a USC fan
Can you talk about the significance of the return of the A&M UT game?
No. Not this year at least
All this talk about U.S.C. and defense is just "More playing for clicks".
Funny that the revolution wasn’t plausible in Oklahoma….
Facts
Who?
Keep using our logo for hate clicks. If it ain't broke right?
This is such a laughably bad take on USC that deconstructing it honestly takes its own series of comments.
0:40 "In USC's spring game they didn't look like the '85 bears"
Defense won the game 43-21. 3 interceptions, 1 pick six, linebackers were hitting hard, corners were hitting hard, backup defensive line pieces weren't getting moved all that much, and this is all before a single spring portal addition, which is where the star players come in.
1:50 "This USC defensive revolution is missing players" This is such a horrible take that I will disprove by listing the 2023 season PFF grades of every single starter on the USC defense. For reference, a PFF grade of 60 is considered average.
DL Bear Alexander: 64.2 overall grade; 64.9 run defense grade; 71.3 pressure grade
DL Nate Clifton: 67.4 overall grade; 72.9 run defense grade; 61.5 pressure grade
DE Braylan Shelby: 71.3 overall grade; 73.5 run defense grade; 72.8 pressure grade
DE Jamil Muhammad: 65.4 overall grade; 66.1 run defense grade; 72.8 pressure grade
LB Eric Gentry: 71.0 overall grade; 72.8 run defense grade
LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold: 66.4 overall grade; 78.5 run defense grade
CB Jacobe Covington: 81.0 overall grade; 83.2 coverage grade; 70.7 run defense grade
CB John Humphrey: 79.0 overall grade; 77.8 coverage grade; 79.1 run defense grade
NB Greedy Vance Jr: 80.3 coverage grade; 77.0 run defense grade
S Akili Arnold: 80.3 overall grade; 85.7 coverage grade; 65.0 run defense grade
S Kamari Ramsey: 80.2 overall grade; 77.7 coverage grade; 83.8 run defense grade
As you can see, there is not a single starter on USC's CURRENT defense that has a below average grade not only overall, but also in the relevant subcategories. We also have an entire spring portal window to add more players. Do your homework Josh.
2:30 "They met as a staff and said screw it, throw as much at them as you possibly can, see what sticks against the wall" Have you watched even a single Lincoln Riley or D'Anton Lynn Press Conference? They made it very clear what their strategy was going to be. They were going to install things as slowly, simply, and methodically as possible so the players understood exactly what they needed to do.
I’m a USC fans and your spitting facts Josh. The rest of them are drinking the kook aid that this defense will be top 25. I can’t do it, I won’t get disappointed again
What fan besides a select few saying USC defense is gonna be too 25??? Improved yes but no one is saying top 25 defense…
This dude is a stalker, put a restraining order
Hater
Pate was singing the praises of Lincoln Riley last year. But he changes his mind like the wind, just like ESPN analysts. Can I get independent analysis free of recency bias around here?
You're commenting on a video wherein I praised Riley for the moves he made.
@@LateKickwithJoshPate Ep 378, April 1, 2023: “I believe there’s a day not too far from now, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when, he [Riley] eventually does win a national championship…”
@@LateKickwithJoshPate You’re getting more risk averse as you increase in popularity, sounding a lot like the mainstream media, flip flopping and going with the popular narrative. You can take Herbstreit’s job soon enough. ESPN would love to have you.
Dude.....i think youre in for a rude awakening. I respect you but... stranger things have happened.
Larry is a hater.
LR made defense look ok so he can gaslight fans all spring and summer. Then when LSU claps them cheeks he'll come with the same old tired "we're close" and "nature of the beast" gobble deegook smh USC will go 3-9 and miller will throw 20 picks 7 for 6
I wouldn't hold your breath, USC fans. Well, unless you are walking on a sidewalk in LA, then definitely hold your breath, so you can't smell the human feces on the ground everywhere.
Here comes all the USC delusional cry babies! Hell, Brent Venables one of the best defensive minds in college football is still just now peeking in year three. And USC fans think because a simple staff change was made that they're going to have an elite defense this year with no depth somehow.
Yeahhhh. Even if you got this amazing staff which I don’t doubt usc has, it still takes at least 2 years to get a real turn around. That staff needs to get their players.
88 to 11 in one year at UCLA. Also, 55-19 is your so called elite coach when he was DC at Oklahoma. Your team will forever be our bitch.
Lmao Oklahoma fan calling someone delusional😂😂😂😂😂 let me guess you guys gonna win SEC this year??? 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jid141that’s where we have to set what the proper expectations of “improvement” are. I’m an SC fan. They were in the 120s with total defense last season. USC fans that think they will turn around and be top 10 next season are delusional. However, if they can go from 125 to 45-50? That is a MASSIVE achievement; and more realistic.
SEC Josh having a rare casual take. He keeps contradicting himself saying he "likes" USC. Do your research Josh. Goodness. Youre 🤏 this close to losing your Mr. COMISSIONER status. SMH
Josh you stay hatin on SC you hate so much that you’re not even relevant
Then why are you here watching😂😂😂😂make up your mind
Ok Joshua shaw
and yet here you are
I listen just to hear in hopes maybe you would come around one day but it’s the same so Trojans suck and the hurricanes are the greatest lol 😂
Here’s your problem with this entire snarky attitude of yours. USC already had the elite athletes, obviously their last defensive coordinator or Lincoln Riley didn’t “Teach” or “Allow” tackling in practice. They took horrible angles to the ball carriers, and their defensive ends/outside linebackers were always losing contain. That is all COACHING!!!!! Then you later hear Grinch didn’t want his interior players putting on weight ( which it shows ) then he only played his favorites, keeping some of the top USC defenders off the field. So bringing in “Experienced” Transfer Portal additions in the secondary, and at linebacker, with who they have coming back, this defense is going to be vastly improved if not dominating. You have the coaching and experienced additions who are very good defenders, so you’re WAY off bro in your lack of optimism. Don’t even count the Spring Game, that defense was vanilla as hell, let’s see when they install the REAL defense. Let’s see how you’re talking 5 games into the season.
100% spot on!
Josh you are literally comparing Iowa to a blue blood program & also trying to make it seem like Lincoln Riley is some run of the mill coach this is SC you are speaking of but
Hate if UR gg 2 hate Reggie Bush
Had HIS! Heisman Trophy now only if they returned our vacated victories which never should have happened in the first place the other return all of our scholarships as well but Josh I'm a little disappointed in you but!
USC's all -time record vs B1G 69-10
Enough said!
Now you backtracking, because Trojan world cooked you on Twitter. This dude blocks everybody that disagrees with him. 🧁
