Great recap Gabe!
No matter what. FIGHT ON!!!!!!!
Branch needs the ball only in open space. He does not run routes well. He gets no separation. Does not fight for the ball. And then drops passes. This youngman needs to be coached up more.
He's completely lost his confidence! But a delayed drag a across the middle, after two go routes or deep crosses would do that!!
Riley needs to join the other hot shot fairly young HCs and give up play calling to an OC.
Moss is just over throwing his target. If Moss struggles against Maryland, LR should insert Maiava that’s more mobile and can run away since our O line sucks too.
Big 10 Refs Giving Pac12 Vibes..Non Calls in Crucial Situations...😤🤬
Yeah, all 3 losses have genuinely been as bad as anything I ever saw in the Pac 12.
Non calls all game. Watch the entire PSU D-line get held atrociously every single snap. Those non-calls you’re whining about literally kept Moss breathing the entire game. The refs were bad, but consistently bad. Not one sided
I’d like to add… I want Riley to succeed, but he’s young and needs to make better decisions!
Shaun Nua coached the DL before Coach Henny. We saw poor results. Nua now coaches the Edge rushers...poor results. He may need to go, along with Henson who DEFINITELY needs to go!
It’s a difficult time right now for SC fans…. I’ve been a fan since 1963… Riley needs to hire a great OC and new OL coach… use better time/ clock management and better okay calling… not sure where the team is mentally… in my opinion if this change doesn’t happen…we need to look elsewhere for his replacement. As my license reads Fight On!
Me too a fan since rose bowl national Pete bethard and Vanderkellen famous game
Me three.
FIGHT ON!
I agree, it’s time for Riley to be a head coach and manage the overall team. He can always provide game day inputs to the offense when needed.
Will Howard is better than Miller Moss given our current lineup. The victory against Louisville, now looks like a misfortune disguised as a blessing.
You know who else doesn’t have a go to receiver that’s a game breaker? Minnesota and Michigan, who don’t even have a competent QB either but they beat this team. What’s not getting talked about enough is that even with the struggles from certain units, this offense has still given the team a lead with a couple minutes to go in each game that was lost and that lead was blown. 2 of those games the other team needed TD’s the last drive and they ran the ball down the throat of the defense and went and got it. Finishing games is a huge problem.
I personally would like to see Maiava get a couple special packages/plays in games just to keep defenses on their toes he’s much more suited to rpo type plays than miller and clearly this o-line is much more suited to run than pass protection
I agree with you. on most of this. I don't know why Joyner disappeared. Was he injured? Thunder and lightning indeed. Mostly, this team just needs to learn how to win those crucial moments. Basically they need to stay the course. It's going to come but yes the tight end went wild. Don't forget that Lynn's mantra first stop the run. They did that, but the killer was the 2 4ths and long. Jaysus that suxd.
Give Penn St credit for making adjustments. Riley was exploiting their defensive with mis-direction. And there’s no Jordan Addison. You’re right about the OL. They are getting better. Pretty good run game right now……Fight On!
Yes we were just too good too fast to clever for usc
Gabe - Penn State was the perfect game to see what is wrong with USC. Our offensive coordinator sucks.
Look at the Penn State offense in the second half. They opened up the playbook and it was creative. So much misdirection, so many different formations and motion, etc. This is what a creative OC does, not what Riley does. The ONLY area where Riley is any good is QB mentoring. If Penn State had Miller, they would be on fire.
You make so many great comments. Our tight ends could be great, why are they not being used to get the ball?
Honestly Riley is the whole problem. He is lame. Penn State is a much better team than most people understand. They did not want to put stuff on tape with their creative offense, but our defense forced them to do it. Ohio State should thank us.
My two cents worth; at the start of the 2024 college football season, I truly believed that the USC Trojans would have gone 12-0, maybe 11-1, with a BIG 10 championship along with a national title.
They have the best WR room in the nation, their talent is undeniable. They have an outstanding RB room, and the OL and DL could use some improvements, but they can still get the job done well enough to win games. And the QB room, well they have options!
I sincerely believed that with the offensive talent they have; they would score 40-50+ points on their opponents.
Easily, the Trojans would have been 6-0, at this point in the season. But some bonehead plays and several bad calls - or no-calls, have been difference.
Delusions of grandeur
Defensively we need to play the freshmen more. Jamil and Solo have combined for 2 tackles per game in the last three games. That doesn’t justify the amount of time they’re playing every game. It’s time to play Kam Fountain, Carlon Jones, Cowan and Hughes much more often in the second half of the season for no other reason than future development
Totally agree with Kam fountain,it's time already!
I was never really high on Jamil, he's only 6'1 no major length.
Let’s be honest..Miller is not fit for Lincoln’s type of offense..he’s needs the west coast style to thrive
Trojans played hard and your fans were great! Had a good time visiting as a PsU fan.
Love ur content here bro. You have excellent analysis, keep it up!
I agree with some of the comments about utilizing Maiava in those RPO's. Yes the OL are better when running downhill & Z. Branch is better when catching & running downhill. This puts defenses on their heels. I liked the play calling in the 1st 2 quarters, then Riley reverted back to his bad habits.
Moss is on pace for a 22 TD/10 int season which would be the worst QB performance since the Helton era. But you wanna blame the WR corp made up of true sophomores playing in their second season instead of the redshirt junior QB in the middle of his fourth year of college 😂😂
I blame neither. I blame, firstly, the Coach LR and secondly his crap O-line
This team needs a talent upgrade on the off-season, a few Jordan Addison level pieces on defense to complement what we already have.
Problem with Lynn’s scheme is that he needs an elite pass rusher he can line up all over to make his disguises work. With almost no pressure the defense suffers.
Yeah, what has SC had six sacks all year? That's certainly not even close to elite.
Moss can't run - period. One dimensional and D's know they will get sacks with minimal pressure. Interceptions increasing and TD's decreasing. Another wasted season and time for the old SC fan cheer "wait until next year!"
This is just what they are. Average as a team. How many All Americans?
With a below average head coach 😉
Riley has messed up bad. However, we need to give him more one more year. He needs to hire a top notch OC and OL coach. Then we should be rolling. If not, Riley has to go.
I heard that over and over again during Helton’s tenure. 😒 it all falls on the head coach. I been hearing “all he needs is to hire a good DC” all of last year. The excuses nvr ends. Facts, Lincant riley just ain’t as good as we thought he was.
The problem with the pass plays is that they are not creative. We are not using our guys. I bet the whole defensive staff can see that Riley is holding the team back.
What can riley do NOW- decrease zach branchs pt, incresse joyners runs without taking woodys carries, stick with run as everyone is rushing four and cover teo all the time , three run designed plays for moss every game branch has lost two steps and drops balls. Hes been caught from behind every game
Watch the game again. The O-line was fine (despite putting in 2 backs to chip in passing situations), it was really the D-line that gave the PSU QB all day to throw the ball. If you look at the defensive alignments, they appeared to be running a 6-4 base defense to stop the run, which is PSU's strength and they dared the PSU QB (Allar) to beat them with his throws. They never really adapted to the changing conditions in the 2nd half.
As to what went wrong, PSU clearly made adjustments at the half (or the coaches yelled at the guys to play better) and USC didn't really make any adjustments. As proof, look at the stats in the first half versus the 2nd half.
Duce, Lemon, and Lane should be our starting receivers. KHW can come in for big third downs and as needed. Branch needs to only be put in for gadget plays. But I definitely agree about feeding Wpody and QJ.
The fact that no adjustments were made to stop #44 is a huge red flag on Lynn and his defensive scheme to me...Totally unacceptable.
Okay we aren’t perfect. I’m liking the direction USC is going though. Defense has definitely improved and I have no question the offense will too. We have a very very young OL. So, Trojan fans, take a step back, take a deep breath, breath! It will take a couple recruiting classes to really start making strides. But think about it, lost to Penn State ranked #4 in the country by 3 in OT? Lost to a very good defensive Michigan team by 3 on the last drive? This will get fixed. Then we roll.
Lynn is still coasting off that LSU win, he's a top 3 issue currently. the defense is better, but we're giving too much credit for him teaching college football players how to tackle.
The real problem is at the db position I think we should move Stevens and Newby to Safety and move Ramsey and Arnold to corner with Smith at nickel
Results matter, USC needs to get rid of the loser mentality. Will CLR have the team ready against Maryland, at this point I have my doubts?
3 years in the program continues to regress, & the culture gets softer by the year, just like his tenure at OU
Defense did more than the offense. Stopped them twice at the goal line and got and interception returned for 40 yards that went no where
Thanks for the video. Maryland is not a big game. It's an.... if we don't win.....we really stink game.✌✌
Lets Fight On! Hang in there and keep fighting
I thought we actually had some nice screens with marks on Saturday
I’ve seen at least one Pod defend Riley and claim his game management wasn’t bad and did run in the second half. I’ve now seen Gabe, Rowe, Kessler, and many others point out our run droughts in the second half and the bad passing calls late, especially when we have a lead. We all aren’t blind. Riley needs to learn!
Regarding Maryland… if we fly out Friday afternoon, don’t be surprised if we come out like crap.
JM #10 isn't giving us the speed rush we expected.
I’m done for the season. So much hype but same outcome.
The defense definitely did not get enough pressure on Allar let him have all day to complete those 4th downs.
Great analysis as always
It's not difficult too explain!
Below average line play has been the problem for over a decade!
No CONSISTENT pressure on the quarterback & consistent O-Line breakdowns! Let me know when we get some DT'S that can blowup the center & force double teams!
We need to hire Billy Napier. He would do wonders for this team right now. Fight on I guess
Riley was paid insane money to get different results than all the other head coaches in the last 15 years since Carroll left. He’s not done that. Again, the season is a failure and we waiting to see what meaningless bowl game we will end up in. It’s been the same story every single year no matter who the coach has been. Riley was paid the high salary he demanded to be special. There’s nothing special about his tenure at this point and the school and fans have every right to be pissed.
Think about this: we put up 30 and missed out on so many scores because we refuse to run. The score could’ve been easily over 40 and had been a dominating when over Penn State. Think about that. So no no one‘s impressed with the 30 points. Was a decent coach it would’ve been a dominating win. Because a decent coach would’ve run the ball over and over again. And against Minnesota too.USC would still be a playoff team. And the cancer.
USC went to air raid and has sucked ever since
The problem is, they won’t bench John Humphrey, Gabe. They don’t have a true competition based environment. People would be benched already, and new players will be installed already. Humphrey will continue to be in there, unfortunately. But a real coaching staff would have benched him before when they saw his deficiencies and put someone in Who was chomping at the bit and willing to lay it all on the line. That’s what true competitive environments do. USC does not have a truly competitive environment no matter what Riley says. That is the issue and problem. Number zero would be running the ball along with number four if that were the case. But it’s not the case because he doesn’t have a truly competitive environment.
The officials have done their job and helped put us out of the playoff and conference championship pictures. Now watch them be "magnanimous" and start calling things in our favor.
You can't have a #1 WR when you don't have a clutch QB. If USC had a QB that could extend plays then the WR room would go off!! Miller Moss has 2-3 seconds to get the ball off so how many explosive plays do you expect to see from USC!
Zach Branch is most lethal when plays are off script!! If Moss can get outside the pocket and do things off script, then you'd see more explosive plays on offense!
USC is only gonna go as far as MILLER MOSS TAKES THEM!!
There’s a very good chance Lincoln leaves to the NFL next year. The college game is a shitshow with NIL and big ten officiating. He doesn’t want to deal with this crap and all the drama it brings.
FIGHT ON ✌🏾
everything in the 2nd half...out coached and out played . The defense looked lost when penn state shifted...3 penalties that hurt us . No discipline . Usc needs a QB that has decent speed ( maiava) to move the chains. what does it say about Riley's confidence in maiava if you are not using him ?
The season is not a training ground for offensive lineman. That the games are being used as training, Ground and progress as Lincoln Riley says is defunct incompetent, inadequate and unqualified coaching. That’s what true competition at practice should have done. Riley has soft practices. That’s why his team is not tough. No one‘s figure that out or called him out on that yet. He is Hilton 2.0. Don’t practice like Pete Carol and beat each other up and practice so that when they come to the games, the other teams are nothing compared to what they went through at practice. Riley does not have hard contact at practice. There is no true competition or battles going on. has anyone not figured that out yet? This is why he does not allow media in. No accountability. Carol had open practices and everything. It was like game day at practices. They went hard, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Gladiator hard. Survivors and the ones who rose the top played on Saturday. And the elite got better and the others were raised up. Riley is two. He’s raising Powderpuff. This is why the team cannot finish games. They are not tough and that is by design per Riley. So when the old line is getting their training during games, you can see the deficiency of the whole thing. Riley is a garbage coach. And we’re stuck with him.
It's really starting to look to me like this team simply does not know how to win.
Time to play Jayden and if that don’t work see ya Lincoln ✌🏼
So, you are Questioning the Greatest offensive mind and play calker in the universe ? We should only watch USC Football 🏈 with Rose colored eyes 👀. SC can do nothing wrong.
Gabe, some content creators are coming for Coach Lynn. I think these past two games haven’t been good for the defense but coming for Coach Lynn and comparing him to Alex Grinch? I don’t get it. I like your approach, being more balanced showing areas that need improvement on offense and defense
Lincoln has lost more games than Clay at this same point in there SC tenure im sorry don't get mad at me
A follow-up; if USC needs a coaching change - I would like to see them hire Jon Gruden as HC since Jon wants to return to coaching - at the college level. Demote LR to OC and keep on rolling! And perhaps, add coach O, in the mix.... Fight On!
USC '81 class.
The problem is the coaching. There’s no discipline. Everyone is acting like little boys on the sideline. No one is dialed in and focused. Thats why Alabama teams were so successful because Saban had the highest of accountability for his players and that trickled down to his coaching staff. I don’t think Riley has that effect. Franklin from Penn State is similar to Saban but not as extreme. He shot his players down for planting the Penn State flag on the 50 yard line after they won. That’s true accountability.
SC doesn’t have that winning culture they used to have because there is no accountability for anyone.
Jerome Myles will be #1?receiver next year & if Miller struggles against Maryland they have to make a qb change
We’re gonna lose Jacoby Lane Jay and Maya and a few other receivers if they don’t get targets. But not because they’re not getting targets only but because of the way, Riley is structuring the office and whom he’s giving playing time to. He overlay Zachary branch and under plays Deuce and Jacoby. Those guys should be more targeted in the offense by design. And it needs to be more than just a fading wrap. Every other school can simply run routes where there’s green grass. Riley does not have good patterns for his receivers. We are actually deplorable and running routes and that’s Riley‘s fault. And the receivers lead because they don’t get enough targets. Look at our ends. Are you saying that is Lake McCree? Since Lake went down no tight end is playing getting targets. That is a Design thing. Lake McCree should not be the only tight end who is capable and he’s not the only tight end that’s capable. Brylee‘s designs are terrible. This is why people transfer. Riley over promises and under delivers.
All we need is some blocking.
Gabe, Riley gets away from the run and continues to insist on the past when his team is built for the run right now because he’s incompetent. He’s an adequate. He’s inferior. Any decent coach who wants to win goes we’re running team despite what I want and it’s working. Wins matter more than what I want from the team. And if his team is showing, it’s a run team that any coach who truly a good coach would see that. But Riley‘s insistence on passing is emblematic and revelatory of his, inadequacy and incompetency and inferiority as a coach. Duh. That is the definition, the living definition and portrait of inadequacy and incompetency. It’s pure idiocy. USC could have won at least Minnesota and Michigan. Had they kept running the freaking ball. And Penn State. They are five and one and six and oh if Riley just runs the freaking ball. Even with this thin roster. He would be a genius if he just stopped being an idiot and insisting on a pass. But it’s too late now. The season is lost. Riley is walking around same old, same old insisting on progress and they’re building something together with no accountability because he shielded himself with a contract. So while he’s a decent economist, he’s a terrible terrible coach.
Truth
Miller to the bench
Time for this guy to be honest about Moss. Moss is mediocre at best and doesn’t use his legs to extend plays nor is he an accurate passer 🚮
Lol. Just as you say what a bad screen game you have the video show a wide out screen play that rips off about 35 yards.
How come they can't sack the QB? That's so weird bro
They don't have players that can win 1 on 1 battles. Lynn had better players at UCLA last year than he does now.
Simply stated, USC got beat! end of story!
✌🏼
Lincoln is overrated
It’s simple bro, they should fire Lincoln Riley
Great video (hard to re-watch) but... nice job with your content!
DISGUSTING & HORRIBLY WEAK effort by our coaches (looking at YOU, "Coach" Riley!!) and the players - FULL STOP!
We're NOT READY or built for BIG10 play!.... Yet!
#CHOKE_job
