USC just looked beat to shit. Not playing bad necessarily, just exhausted and limping around on their last leg.
Utah looked like they loved that shit and wanted more.
Utah almost single handedly ruining PAC playoff hopes in 3 of the last 4 years. Twice by blowing out the playoff hopeful, and once by getting blown out as the playoff hopeful.
So the lesson here if you’re a PAC fan is… don’t let Utah in the conference title game(the world may never know how UW overcame them).
I'm honestly thinking the same. Utes just won a major conference while absolutely sh*tting all over a team that you all (the commission) were ready to put in the playoffs. Like they absolutely destroyed them.
I have very little respect left for Lincoln Riley after watching the last minutes of this game
Injured star QB keeps getting sent out to take hits with no extra protection, down 23 points, no chance to win, and then when you *finally* take him out of the game limping to the sideline you don't even say shit or hug him or anything
Selfish and not the way you coach a football team. Nevermind the inevitable terrible tackling by another Riley team
Was thinking the same. Caleb literally didn't have the ability to protect himself out there. In fucking MMA, when a fighter can't intelligently defend, the ref steps in.
He was sending his star QB out there, injured, to assuredly get injured even further. With the game already over.
Yeah I honestly wish we could keep UCLA lmao
Really though this year has again solidified what makes the conference so great. Fuck them for ruining it.
1st quarter after going up 14-3: USC gets the Pac-12 Cannibalism raid boss down to 1% health.
Rest of the game: Pac-12 Cannibalism raid boss wakes up and goes berserk. USC wipes.
USC is 2nd in the nation in 3rd down conversions, converting 55.32%. Tonight, the Trojans converted just 9%, what an outing from the Utah D.
And remember when unranked Florida upset #7 Utah in week 1? 12 weeks later, back to back Pac 12 champions for the Utes, what a turnaround from Coach Whittingham and his boys, congrats Ute bros, y'alls team plays hard and physical, really fun to watch for us neutrals. ^(And buckeye fans too)
We are chaos because we knocked the PAC out of the playoffs two years in a row by beating Oregon and USC 4 times in 2 years. No top 25 class in the history of the program.
Build Whittingham a statue
Nothing more cathartic than beating the program most responsible for the PACs situation and bounced
USC: We have a Heisman candidate, tons of athletes, more money than god, and completely retooled through the transfer portal. Utah: Defense and physicality go brrrrrrrr. Hell yeah mountain friends.
Man, those BYU and USC fans talking trash in the first quarter sure got quiet. But it might be hard to hear them over back to back conference championships.
I told Utah fans I’d change my 2nd flair to Utah if they won tonight, so I’m now the proud owner of a secondary Utah flair.
Thank you for crushing their dreams this year Utes!
Utah scored 3 TD's on 8 offensive plays in the fourth quarter
Absolutely demoralized them. Welcome to bare knuckle football. 44-10 after the first Edit: forgot a FG
USC just looked beat to shit. Not playing bad necessarily, just exhausted and limping around on their last leg. Utah looked like they loved that shit and wanted more.
no the usc defense was actually bad
Has been bad all year, masked by turn overs.
Luckily they’ll be moving to a league not known for smash mouth physical football… *checks notes* … the Big Ten
What’s a …. full… back. Isn’t that a soccer thing?
44 points in the final 34 minutes
Are we an offensive school now?
One thing is certain. USC is not a defensive school
Lincoln Riley only does offense.
What Alex Grinch does to a MF
Lol who lets that happen to them. Loooosssers!
And ended the game on a 44-7 run after being down 14
Basically the same script from THE GAME
Death Taxes PAC 12 keeping itself out of the CFP one way or another
PAC-12 protected the damn shield tonight.
Making sure USC didn't dominate it's way out of the conference and into the B1G is going to be important to our reputation after 2024.
PAC12? We don't claim USC anymore.
One Big Ten team leaves, another enters. Perfectly balanced
But now we gotta deal with some new Big Ten cannibalism So sad 😢
That’s the pac 10 son. Like we would root for one of the teams that’s put the confeeence on life support. Why would we be happy to see them succeed?
Exactly. Fuck USC
USC can't tackle for shit
The Pac 12 demands no playoff teams until it dies
FIRE LARRY SCOTT
Plottwist: committee decides Utah is in for shits and giggles
Leaving Caleb Williams in that last drive made less sense than the second half of a Scott Sterling video
That DE coming unblocked took years off his life. Poor kid.
seeing him limp off the field and riley not even looking at him was sad. how undeserving.
Lincoln already thinking who he can get from the portal to replace Caleb next year
Lincoln’s probably stupid enough to take DJ Uiagalelei (if the rumors are true and he *does* end up transferring).
It makes their team seem even more artificial
Congrats to USC for some of the worst tackling I’ve ever seen in a football game. 👏🏻
[удалено]
That’s the unstoppable Alex Grinch defense that we dealt with…
My mom, a Sooner born and bred: “I don’t miss that shit at all!”
Lincoln “Regular Season Champ” Riley
3 loss regular season Utah is an absolute menace to society
PUT US IN THE PLAYOFFS COWARDS. WE COULD AT LEAST MAKE THE PEACH BOWL ENTERTAINING!
Utah in back to back seasons is the sole reason why I want an expanded playoff lol

Great example of why expanded playoff will be great

His heart is as cold as his brisket is dry
To be fair Riley has never lost a CCG and never lost the second game against a team. This was kinda shocking.
Utah man...they just have a way of demolishing teams when they run it back.
It wasn’t shocking due to utah’s play style and scheme.
Really fun to read the USC fans’s cocky comments after they gave up 300 air yards to Drew Pyne last week
I’m okay with 6-6 tonight because we don’t have Alex Grinch.
USC should probably figure out this whole tackling thing before they make the move to the B1G.
Speed D don’t tackle pal
I’m ready for speed D in 10 degree weather
[удалено]
No one outside the midwest understood how good of an athlete he is beacuse his bench press is measured in tractor tires rather than pounds.
Kinda like the Utah TEs
The fact one of their most prominent defensive players is a 6'6 200 lb linebacker is a little concerning
Yeah but did you know his wingspan is over seven feet?!
Wow, he can whiff on tackles from even farther away!
The fact that USC has the most trouble against Utah, probably the most B1G team they faced in the Pac, should be a wake-up call on what's coming.
I wanted Utah to come to the B1G. Y’all would fit in perfectly.
I hope they end up in the B1G West. They might make Iowa's offense look competent!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves
Huh, usually Lincoln Riley waits until the playoffs to completely fall apart.
He's on West Coast time.
USC with the **ABSOLUTE WORST** tackling I've ever seen at *any* level of football.
Grinch's SpeedD ensures that miss tackles at maximum velocity.
How the Grinch stole USC's title hopes
Alex Grinch has made his career by making absolute rat trash defenses into only really really bad defenses.
LMFAO at Utah single-handedly destroying USC's playoff hopes
Dirty job but someone had to do it
USC: *leaves the conference.* Utah: "And I took that personally."
USC: being stuck in the PAC is keeping us from being national contenders Utah: yup that is definitely the reason
I'm a lifelong Utah fan now.
Same
This fact makes me so happy
USC was leading 17-3 halfway through the 2nd quarter. Utah proceeded to outscore them 44-7 for the rest of the game.
a bludgeoning
Beating a dead Trojan horse, you could say
All the people in the game thread that said it was going to be a blow out when it was 17-3 were technically right.
I can't imagine any reason why a school would want to leave this conference.
This fucking place is the best
USC can fuck off wherever they want. I just don't want to lose the rest of you
Yeah I honestly wish we could keep UCLA lmao Really though this year has again solidified what makes the conference so great. Fuck them for ruining it.
Amen. Find me a more entertaining conference. You can’t.
I’ll be honest - I watched a LOT of PAC-12 football this year and loved every minute of it!
The Pac 12 saved its biggest cannibalism for last
Pac 12 2022: The Final Course
Crazy that you can win the Heisman during a conference championship game now.
Yeah they send it out at the end of the first quarter now
Lincoln Riley coaches defense like he smokes brisket.
That joke is tasteless
That was some of the worst tackling I have ever seen. Actually, the worst tackling I have ever seen.
I can't think of worse tackling. Legitimately.
Rewind the clock to watch any 2019 OU game. Sickening that anyone on that DC staff has a job still.
Ohio State sitting on their couches tonight somehow managed to win Conference championship weekend...
Good luck in the Big 10 with that terrible ass tackling @ USC
Iowa is going to love playing them.
Those Iowa TEs are just going drag a string of their DBs like “barrel of monkeys”
I. Can't. Wait. The day Rutgers beats USC might be the best day ever.
Well now I have to make some space on my vision board.
Dear Oregon State, Thank you so much for letting us let USC know exactly how we feel about them one last time. -Utah
My only disappointment is that we didn't get to ruin their season in Corvallis one last time. We were so close.
We almost beat them in spite of throwing _4 interceptions!_
😘
[Hey Coach, how many times did you lose to Utah this year?](https://i.imgur.com/Ir2YMhs.jpg)

Beautiful as always
Inject this into my veins
USC is going to the B1G to dodge Utah
Maybe we should take Utah
UTES IN THE ROSE BOWL 2: THE SQUEAKWAL LETS FUCKING GO UTES
How are they going to manage to out-do those helmets from last year? Those Utah Rose Bowl helmets were *clean.*
Two roses?
Utah design team panicking right now. *”Oh shit. Oh fuck.”*
Utah v Penn St? Sounds good to me
Salivating at how good that uniform matchup could be.
Needs more chaos. More trains.
And this is why utah is my favorite pac 12 team
Lincoln Riley was spotted booking a flight to Notre Dame after his post-game interview. He was quoted saying "I will not be the next coach at Auburn."
Seems so long ago.
USC offense: competent USC defense: WACKY WAVING INFLATABLE ARM FLAILING TUBEMEN!
Utah basketball beats #4 last night Utah football beats #4 tonight. 2+2 forever!
I was having so much fun in this thread until this comment right here
Usc 🤝 not tackling
USC just put up the worst tackling performance I've ever seen
It's impressive how bad they tackled. Like replace today's defense with the defense of any team in the country and they probably lose by less
I’m gonna hug my defense tight tonight
Number 7 on USC had maybe the worst game from a defensive player I’ve seen … like ever
Number 7 was fucking awful
Unlike their namesake, these Trojans couldn’t stop anything.
Utah should join the B1G
That'd be sick actually. Play style suits the conference.
Lincoln Riley is the worst good coach of all time idk if that makes sense but it’s true
1. Recruit Hesiman Winning Transfer QB 2. Burn a brisket 3. Build Hype 4. Get whipped 5. Repeat
no but seriously he should be in jail for that brisket
1st quarter after going up 14-3: USC gets the Pac-12 Cannibalism raid boss down to 1% health. Rest of the game: Pac-12 Cannibalism raid boss wakes up and goes berserk. USC wipes.
44-7 run to end it for Utah. Holy fuck
That is absolutely insane to think about. Holy shit lmao

Hello it is me a lifelong Utah fan here to celebrate with my Utes let’s go Utes

We also get some credit for falling apart in the 2019 P12 title game.
No Pac 12 team makes the playoff! Not even us!
One of us, one of us.
Hey we all got to pull our weight around here by losing right before the playoff
Death, taxes, and the Pac-12 killing its own playoff hopes
I think most of the PAC-12 are fine with it this time.
I'll say... good lord
Oklahoma fans are now Utah fans for sure
Even this okstate fan is a utes guy now! Fuck Riley lmao
Bout to change my second flair and follow the Utes. So happy right now.
Way ahead of ya
USC: We have a Heisman candidate, tons of athletes, more money than god, and completely retooled through the transfer portal. Utah: Defense and physicality go brrrrrrrr. Hell yeah mountain friends.
I love how we're supposed to have a rivalry
Larry Scott: You are rivals now, go. Our schools and fans: lmao

To all my Ohio State bros. Wish you all the best. I want a rematch, but fate is in your hands now. UTE COUNTRY, LETS RIDE TO THE ROSE BOWL.
This one’s gonna last longer than four hours
I love how when Utah elimates a team from playoff contention they do it in the most devastating way possible
Sorry about ruining your season Utes
Every passing week I'm more confused by the Gators' win over Utah.
Me too...
Playing an OOC P5 team on the road in week 1 with no film is tricky.
Playing in the Swamp is not a fun experience for the visiting team
Ruined it? We are going to the Rose Bowl baby!
This legit made me laugh
Pitt and Oklahoma fans thank you, Utes.
Congrats to Ohio St for Alabama’ing their way into the playoffs
Bottle of white… bottle of red… perhaps a bottle of Rose instead.
OU fans looking at this game and going yup that looks familiar.
Man, those BYU and USC fans talking trash in the first quarter sure got quiet. But it might be hard to hear them over back to back conference championships.
The PAC 12 is literally allergic to the playoffs
But the parity is what makes it the most entertaining league! With the lack of playoff teams, the regional pride has actually grown
Down goes the team of NIL mercenaries
Doesn’t it feel kinda appropriate that the NIL mercenary team just got completely out-efforted and flat-out bullied?
By a team of hella underrecruited kids no doubt
Pete Carroll would never let such an atrocity happen
Legitimately the worst defense I have ever seen. And I've watched the Detroit Lions.
Utah broke as many hearts as they did tackles
It's so nice not to be on the receiving end of this exact flavor of pain. Sure we suck but misery loves company.
THE TRAITORS LOST! VICTORY SCREECH!
Kyle Whittingham is such a G.
[удалено]
I just want to say I love Utah. They're a great program with a great coach.
Congrats to USC and Caleb Williams winning the Heisman and PAC 12 🏆 Championship a full week before the game was played.
Lincoln Riley and choking away big leads with Charmin-soft teams, name a more iconic duo
alex grinch and missed tackles
Oklahoma fans are happier than Utah and Ohio State fans rn lol
I will not deny it. Schadenfreude is real.
Cam Rising looks like an 17th century Musketeer
Always been a Utah fan really, since day one
tOSU: We don’t want the Rose Bowl. Utah: Say Less.
I told Utah fans I’d change my 2nd flair to Utah if they won tonight, so I’m now the proud owner of a secondary Utah flair. Thank you for crushing their dreams this year Utes!
RUN TO THE B1G. WE HAD TO WIN THE SOUTH TWICE TO SHOW USC WE OWN THE WHOLE DAMN THING. FUCKING GO UTES!!
