September 11, 20187 yr From someone who hates them, but follows their program fairly closely, my take on SC: The have really quality RB's, but the young OL hasn't figured out how to spring them. QB JT Daniels is the real deal, but a true freshman. He will make mistakes, and he will dazzle. The receivers, Vaughns, Pittman and the latest St. Brown- Amon Ra- are NFL caliber. Defensively their LB's, Cam Smith and Porter Gustin are as good as it gets, but I think Gustin is injured. Their DB's have lost a lot. That's probably where they are weakest. DL is solid but unspectacular.
September 11, 20187 yr What if we win? Has anybody thought about that? What then? What are we going to do?!?!
September 11, 20187 yr Hey HERMAN.... Quit saying "Winning is Really Hard" cause your Football Players believe you. How about installing a great Offensive Game plan and showing confidence in your Players by calling an aggressive game instead of all this Cautious, Scared Bullshit.... Hey ORLANDO... Get your Defense's shit together and Sack USC's MotherF'n QB this Saturday. Demand leadership from your Upperclassmen, generate turnovers..... and shut the USC Offense down like Stanford did.....
September 11, 20187 yr Brian Kelly at Notre Dame used that same "winning is hard" line following his 24-16 squeaker win over Ball State on Saturday. I cringed. Herman is calling the cautious scared bullshit because he is scared that Sam will continue to make soul crushing turnovers. It sucks, but Herman must not have a pair.
September 11, 20187 yr Coach Clay Helton said Sunday night that Daniels had an MRI exam on the hand, which showed the injury was only a bruise. Helton said Daniels’ hand was sore Sunday but the coach was optimistic about the quarterback’s availability for Texas. Helton said USC will be without starting strong safety Isaiah Pola-Mao against Texas and possibly longer. Pola-Mao dislocated a shoulder in the first half against Stanford. http://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/la-sp-usc-football-20180909-story.html Texas talk starts at 2:27

September 11, 20187 yr What if we win? Has anybody thought about that? What then? What are we going to do?!?!Lose to TCU.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
September 11, 20187 yr Winning USC might be the turning point for Herman. He loses this one, he has no prayer of beating TCU, KSU or OU. If you can't beat a down USC, at home, you'll have no momentum for the meat of your schedule which includes a team that's beaten you 4 straight years by a difference of 120 points, a team you travel to that you've only beaten twice on the road since the Big 12 was formed, and your rival whom looks to possibly be a better version of than their previous year. This team loses on Saturday, I don't think they'll have the intestinal fortitude to win any of those 3 games after USC. Edited September 11, 20187 yr by mdmost
September 11, 20187 yr USC kind of sucks. If the Texas DL isn't dogshit and actually can get in Daniels' face once in a while, it's a W. That being said, I as an ASU fan would consider it a personal favor if you would let USC win this one so Herm can gorilla fuck them later on and get full credit.

September 11, 20187 yr Just watched the Stanford game. Their Defense is bad ass, especially on the DLine. Our DBs are just as good, but if USC can run the ball, our guys will be tired again like the Tulsa game. Especially if we have a lot of 3 and outs on O.
September 11, 20187 yr I think we win this one in a squeaker, 1 or two points. I think that our wonderful punting squad better get their act together or they may cost Texas this game. Hopefully we go run heavy and use the QB option to run when needed. No injuries please and most definitely no injuries to Sam. Texas 28 USC 27

September 11, 20187 yr It’s going to rain. I’m ok with rain, but 4 hours worth of lighting delays will kill my buzz. Oh yeah, we will win.
September 11, 20187 yr I’m stunned at the optimism on this thread given what has been produced on the field in the first two games.

September 11, 20187 yr Just now, Dbeasy said: I’m stunned at the optimism on this thread given what has been produced on the field in the first two games. I can only assume it's because we surprised everyone by playing with a pulse last year, and usc looks worse this year. Could we do it again? Sure. I'm not convinced, though, based on the lack of "give a shit" we've shown against Maryland and Tulsa.

September 11, 20187 yr Unfortunately I think our players will try too hard once again, thus leading to a loss.
September 11, 20187 yr Think this is going to be one butt fucking ugly football game but I could definitely see us winning if Sam doesn't turn the ball over four times.
September 11, 20187 yr USC is clearly not as good as last year, but they are not a bad team. They are a slightly better than average team that lost on the road to the #10 team in the country. We have yet to play anyone of the caliber of Standford. We got outplayed, out-coached and should have lost at home to a Tulsa team that went 2-10 last year and struggled to beat Central fucking Arkansas. Given the level of play so far, I am astonished we are favorites. Could we win? Yeah......And nutritionists may determine at French Fries are a healthy snack.
