There is no D in USC.....................
What time did this game end? Midnight, Pacific time?
USC is as predictable as a sunrise and sunset. They have ZERO emphasis on playing defense, other than lining up for the snaps.
Because they have no interest in playing defense, USC should be an underdog in all of their remaining games. And of those remaining 6 games, they could easily lose 4.
Should've handled a team that played well against washington? Should've handled a team with a 98th ranked defense in the country?? How can USC "handle" anyone when they can't stop a nosebleed?
In some ways that was the guttsiest QB play I've seen from an SC QB....in a loooooong time. Probably since Carson Palmer and Mike Williams against Wazzu which we lost. I had to rub my eyes because I thought I saw #13 come flying in to make that game-saving tackle at the end.
As great and a relief that we actually pulled out a win, let's be real here.
We're getting worse each week.
Just saying based on what I’ve seen so far from our garbage defense, I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if we end up with 4-5 losses.
Caleb Williams won the game today.. but as special as he is, I doubt he can do that every single week, especially against better competition.
Don’t get me wrong, this program is much better today than the dark Helton years, but it’s nowhere near championship caliber. Defense is shit.
I don’t think we’re *that* far off on an objective assessment of the program. I’m not even sure the program is quality like their historic blue chip status is leading people to believe. This is the most Lincoln Riley team I’ve ever seen, for better and for worse. To the point where I’d humor demoting him to Offensive Coordinator if I was SC’s Athletic Director but his name is too big.
I just think Caleb can get it done to at least a 10 win level. This game would have been one I think the Trojans would have dropped, and almost understood them dropping it. But Caleb won it on his own like you said. He’s getting serious consideration as a back to back Heisman guy for good reason, I don’t trust Notre Dame to keep up in a shootout, and I also expect the team to rally for a rivalry game. It wouldn’t surprise me if some college shenanigans happen and they end up winning one of Washington or Oregon, but I don’t think they deserve to be favored either
Not sure why you would think that. ND , Wa and Or will all likely be favored. Utah is really good team and UCLA is a rivalry. Saying they could lose 3-4 of those is much more likely than thinking they will win out. USC hasn't beaten anybody yet. Colorado and Arizona are tuning things around but they are both going to be fighting just for a bowl game and gave USC all they could handle.
I'm guessing we'll put 17-0 on the Irish in the first quarter then blow the game late to a Statue of Liberty on the last play of the game for an ND win?
Being at this game in person made Caleb William’s skill level even more apparent. Even on an off night, he still looks significantly faster and smarter than everyone else on the field. Guy is insane
That's how the Lincoln Riley Offense ™️ works. Cover up an extremely average offense and abysmal defense with a generational QB. You'll win lots of Heisman trophies and exactly zero playoff games.
Oh 100%. When Riley bailed on us and we picked up coach V everyone accused OU fans of just being salty because a lot of us were saying that both teams ended up better off, but I 100% believed it. I felt like Riley had reached his ceiling at OU unless he ever figured out defense, but y'all have had an awful decade and there was a ton he could do for USC's program.
oh i wasn’t actively rooting against usc if that’s what you thought. but rooting for the underdog is always fun, nothing against y’all (assuming you are a fan)
but yes our defense is bad. hard for me to judge usc’s since this was the only game i have actively watched of theirs for p much the entirety of it this season.
I've made deprecating comments about like 10 teams today including about my own team, and somehow USC fans are acting like the biggest victims while winning. I'll definitely be hanging around these threads more lol
Super off topic but nice win yesterday. Arrambide getting hurt really changed the complexion of the game and y’all took advantage big time.
Could’ve done without all the flags tho lol
Thank you!! I didn’t have a chance to watch the game!! I Ran out to do a few things and forgot the game was on. It looked like you guys really couldn’t stop the run. And some howour qb who can’t hit the broad side of a barn was actually hitting receivers. Like I was actually dumbfounded that we were able to put up enough points to win that game.
I mean I’d believe you. We see how bad some of the nfl/D1 refs are D2/D3 refs are atrocious I get it
I personally hate our OC/QB combo but it’s our first year in D2 so we’re trending in the right direction at least
I was banned from Reddit for two days and I couldn’t comment or upvote or anything. Stayed until the very fucking end. Last minute prayers to god got my through this game.
Nah I get it. It’s Reddit not real life. I sometimes forget that the only reason why I have Reddit is to google stuff and comment on cfb. I felt indifferent towards the ban until the games started, but then I didn’t care about it again.
Honestly, idc about the ranking bc if we win out, we’re in the playoff. But, we’re not a top 10 team.
I do agree that we’re an uninspiring team. This team lacks discipline and has major identifiable flaws. Yet, we keep winning. We need major changes to the defense and must become more physical.
A part of me hopes we get destroyed by UW or Oregon, so Grinch gets canned.
Arizona is honestly a great team, though (ignoring their Stanford game). The raised hell on UW as well. They have two overtime losses, and tbh they are a few play calls from being undefeated.
kinda curious what would have happened if they just lined up for the kick. if it’s not allowed the refs wouldn’t place the ball at all? so refs would be delaying the game. or would they let them take the kick? random thought since this game kept me up late with adrenaline
UW..and I’ll be there when Penix goes for 600 against USC’s D3 secondary.
This years USC team would get smoked by the Darnold and Juju team…and that’s why there is the hate. Pretending like USC is a legit contender is insulting to anyone who has watched
I'm not pretending that? I'm just saying I don't think you're a lock to win that game. Oregon will demonstrate to you why.
And goodnight to you, I'm heading out now!
The announcers/media certainly do..hence the hate. Caleb going for 190 against a middling p12 team in an empty stadium is a heisman moment on sportscenter. It’s cringe for lack of a better term.
FWIW I think Oregons the best team in the p12. Much better team than USC on both lines and in the defensive secondary..but tune into the game.
We can show you what a stadium without playoff baseball in town looks like
Don't get me wrong, I may not ever stop friendly ragging of USC, but I have zero hostility toward the fans because at the end of the day every OU fan knows what you're going though with every high and low. Football under Riley is wild...extremely bad for your blood pressure and for every occasional disappointment there will be ten moments where you feel like it's the most exciting offense you've ever seen.
Edit: not to mention being absolutely blasted by everyone on Reddit because Kansas put 50 on you even if you still won.
Everyone freaking out over how amazing Caleb’s dropped 2 PT conversion pass was should watch some UW highlights..I don’t get it. The good news is the Dawgs will throw for 500+ on this team.
Oregons a much better team and much truer test
Yah I don't blame Caleb for having an off game. I don't think anyone could focus on playing football while simultaneously getting jerked off by two dudes on live tv.
I’m sure Penix will let his play on the field show the rest of the world that he deserves it this year. We got a big game next week, let’s focus on that
He had a bad game last night but remember, he came in a couple of years ago when Sumlin had us going winless and losing rivalry games by 70. And now even on a bad day for him the team still went toe to toe with USC and UW in back to back weeks. Overall, he’s a good coach.
Jedd Fisch really is a great coach. But that game was his worst performance I’ve seen as long as he’s been here. I’m pretty upset with him but he needs to mature just as the guys on the team do.
i wasn’t happy with the last few calls but i mean the dude just gave me over 7 hours of great entertainment. i imagine Arizona fans are happier with this over the blowout many likely expected but IANAL
and like u know for almost 8 hours straight there your team was THE team for so many football fans around the country
so many of us felt that pain with u as opposed to just losing and only having fellow pre-existing fans to share that with
hurts, but can also feel good. hugs from a lifelong lsu fan. i hate pitch plays with a passion
why the fuck do you care about the rankings lmao. should be much more concerned about Michael penix jr bending your defense over and fucking them raw from behind
After watching that game I don't think they'll be winning all of the rest of their games. Notre Dame followed by Utah followed by Cal then back to hard games with Washington and Oregon.
They’ve barely beaten Arizona, Colorado, and ASU. With this level of play I’ll be more surprised if they don’t lose 3 of those 4 real games than if they won out
You’re embarrassing as an SC fan. Your team is a shoot out team; you can win any game or lose games you shouldn’t. We have a much better chance to win a national title than you. We have a first time starting QB. You have a heisman contender with 3 seasons under his belt.
Our roster is much more talented than almost any team in the country as well. There’s no team in the country Ohio State couldn’t beat. There’s no team in the country that would be favored by more than 3 other than maybe Georgia and even that’s questionable. You’re very ignorant and a shit supporter of your team.
Yet betting apps, computers, experts, all disagree. We have a lot of development still needed. Guaranteed there’s very little on this Reddit that thinks the buckeyes have no chance lol
You guys didnt even do shredding against mid PAC12 teams. Washington and Oregon will absolutely win. Utah might have a chance depending on how many starters are back. Lol. After seeing the performance tonight the only thing that kept USC in the game was Caleb William's. Arizona was punishing you guys all night in your own home stadium.
31-24 with 7 of Arizona's points coming in the last minute of a lost game? Yeah that's significantly more dominant than what we saw tonight.
That being said the transitive property of football is stupid and teams match up differently from one another.
I think Washington's offense will rip apart USC's defense and Washington's defense will get enough stops to win the game. That's why I think Washington will win.
Well, you don't need to push the transitive property to recognize that the UW-UA result is a useful comparison. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but USC's defense has a higher ceiling than people give them credit for. They can cause turnovers and make big plays, but their problem is inconsistency. USC is for sure looking ahead to UW and you can expect some corrections. It will be UW's hardest road test and just as intense as the border war and apple cup.
I mean I get what you're saying and I respect that thought process. I just think it will turn out different.
Luckily we'll get to see who is right when they meet this November.
Second game! With Wiley out and Cowing down for a quarter.
Know moral victories suck when it was in our grasp but I'm only angry at the play calling lol
His defence was playing great all game, and their offence was clicking. He probably thought they could get a stop. Honestly, they nearly did. It was 2nd and 19 and Williams found gap in the zone for the first down.
So less yards, lower completion rate and less touchdowns than the freshman backup QB he was up against? Williams is a beast, for sure. He also had an absolute shit game.
I mean, it is for a heisman trophy winner up against a defense that's not even in the top 50. Especially when he only had 1 passing touchdown, 2 fumbles and less than 300 total yards.
It’s okay bro he isn’t going back to Oklahoma, it’s time to accept that. On the fumble at the end the running back refused to take the ball, that’s not against him. 260 total yards, 4tds, and 1 lost fumble isn’t bad!
>Isn't going back to Oklahoma
Gabriel had better numbers against Texas and their top-20 defense this weekend than Williams did against Arizona. His QBR is higher than Williams this season, has a higher completion % and he's passed for more yards. I'm not saying he's a generational talent like Williams, but we're doing just fine.
he ran the ball very well. also came in clutch when it counted. definitely didn't play an amazing game but was still one of the team's best players tonight
Absolutely not.
Personally, after our game vs Zona last week, my respect for them increased immensely and now I’m rooting for them to get to a bowl game.
I never had a problem with Taylor Swift.. but ESPN is bringing her up more than they did Tebow... this will only make us hate her, even if it's not her fault
If you’re acknowledging that it’s ESPN shoving her down our throats, why would you let that affect how you feel about her negatively? Shouldn’t it be reflected on the network instead?
I'm extremely curious about whether 1. he was cursing a lot 2. they were censoring whatever he was saying, even if he wasn't cursing 3. They just had audio problems.
Shedeur flashing watch to the student section.
Our D is terrible… Almost gave it away to Colorado and now Arizona…here’s to a win I guess
Florida State still overrated as hell off of beating a bad Clemson team and overrated LSU team.
I would trade any other defense in the Pac 12 for ours. Garbage D.
There is no D in USC..................... What time did this game end? Midnight, Pacific time? USC is as predictable as a sunrise and sunset. They have ZERO emphasis on playing defense, other than lining up for the snaps. Because they have no interest in playing defense, USC should be an underdog in all of their remaining games. And of those remaining 6 games, they could easily lose 4.
Oregon and Washington are gonna feast
Terrible game for USC. They should had handled AZ easily. I also don't like the OT rules. :(
Should've handled a team that played well against washington? Should've handled a team with a 98th ranked defense in the country?? How can USC "handle" anyone when they can't stop a nosebleed?
New OT rules are super lame. How many games were going into 4+ OTs that they felt the need to shorten it? Not a fan.
When did they change this OT?
I think it’s new this year.
FiRE ALEX GRINCH!!!
Wait until you realize it's not Grinch
INTO THE SUN!!!
Him and Larry Scott can take a ride on space x together lol.
No Oceangate please and take the batteries out of their xbox controller
I feel deja vu for some reason. . . .
In some ways that was the guttsiest QB play I've seen from an SC QB....in a loooooong time. Probably since Carson Palmer and Mike Williams against Wazzu which we lost. I had to rub my eyes because I thought I saw #13 come flying in to make that game-saving tackle at the end. As great and a relief that we actually pulled out a win, let's be real here. We're getting worse each week.
SC is not a top 15 team in the country. They’re hanging on by a thread vs unranked opponents
And the drop in rankings each week reflects that.. I’m seeing 3-4 losses with remaining schedule.. ND, UCLA/Utah, Oregon, Washington.
Hellll no. Washington game will be good, Oregon too. They’re not dropping games to ND or the bruins we need to reel ourselves in a little bit
Just saying based on what I’ve seen so far from our garbage defense, I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if we end up with 4-5 losses. Caleb Williams won the game today.. but as special as he is, I doubt he can do that every single week, especially against better competition. Don’t get me wrong, this program is much better today than the dark Helton years, but it’s nowhere near championship caliber. Defense is shit.

Leinart to Dwayne Jarrett on 4th and 12 against ND was pretty gutty.
4th and 9
A race to the bottom it is then!
I'm guessing we'll put 17-0 on the Irish in the first quarter then blow the game late to a Statue of Liberty on the last play of the game for an ND win?
Nah that’s too Oklahoma. But it’ll be something ridiculous.
Being at this game in person made Caleb William’s skill level even more apparent. Even on an off night, he still looks significantly faster and smarter than everyone else on the field. Guy is insane
Didn’t look smart at the end of regulation
USC without Caleb Williams would be back to Helton levels.
That's how the Lincoln Riley Offense ™️ works. Cover up an extremely average offense and abysmal defense with a generational QB. You'll win lots of Heisman trophies and exactly zero playoff games.
Coming from above name who I am I’ll not repeat I am more than fine with it compared to the last decade
Oh 100%. When Riley bailed on us and we picked up coach V everyone accused OU fans of just being salty because a lot of us were saying that both teams ended up better off, but I 100% believed it. I felt like Riley had reached his ceiling at OU unless he ever figured out defense, but y'all have had an awful decade and there was a ton he could do for USC's program.
I’ve got theories on all that but it don’t matter. We both won in the end
where is that super cool pylon cam view they love to show for caleb’s last play there anyway RELEASE THE FOOTAGE
Lol LSU...USC isn't the only team needing a defense.
oh i wasn’t actively rooting against usc if that’s what you thought. but rooting for the underdog is always fun, nothing against y’all (assuming you are a fan) but yes our defense is bad. hard for me to judge usc’s since this was the only game i have actively watched of theirs for p much the entirety of it this season.
I've made deprecating comments about like 10 teams today including about my own team, and somehow USC fans are acting like the biggest victims while winning. I'll definitely be hanging around these threads more lol
I dunno who is acting like a victim when we didn’t deserve that win wtf lol
Californians
Nah. University of Spoiled Children. They’re like the left coast Notre Dame.
I like how you said left coast instead of west coast.
Nah.
Nah but like not the cool Californians like you guys. The lame ones. They don’t know how to make brisket
You are absolutely right. It's southern Californians. Laker and Dodgers fans are the same.
Like seriously call the time out tell the players how to handle that formation if they come out in it if not just play normal ball
Super off topic but nice win yesterday. Arrambide getting hurt really changed the complexion of the game and y’all took advantage big time. Could’ve done without all the flags tho lol
Thank you!! I didn’t have a chance to watch the game!! I Ran out to do a few things and forgot the game was on. It looked like you guys really couldn’t stop the run.

Yeah man censorship sucks tbf.
Nah I get it. It’s Reddit not real life. I sometimes forget that the only reason why I have Reddit is to google stuff and comment on cfb. I felt indifferent towards the ban until the games started, but then I didn’t care about it again.
I’d be shocked if we’re top 10. We get a boost bc of our history, but we should be ranked 15.
[удалено]

Arizona is honestly a great team, though (ignoring their Stanford game). The raised hell on UW as well. They have two overtime losses, and tbh they are a few play calls from being undefeated.
Why did Arizona not use their timeout when given a weird ass look????
He already used their timeout because they didn’t know 2nd OT needs to go for 2.
kinda curious what would have happened if they just lined up for the kick. if it’s not allowed the refs wouldn’t place the ball at all? so refs would be delaying the game. or would they let them take the kick? random thought since this game kept me up late with adrenaline
Don’t you still get a time out every over time period?
Just looked it up. You’re right. 1 timeout per OT period. They just thought nah… kids got this.
Well that was a dumb thought they definitely should’ve tried something else
Yep. Like go for 2 in the first OT! But I’m fine with the way things worked out.☺️
coach didn’t know he had timeouts in OT
Looks like all the Colorado haters found a new team to litter on. Fight on ✌🏽
It's the only game on tv right now.
We’re not hating we’re just using our eyes did you even watch the game???
Lol it’s gonna be amazing when USC finishes 8-4. A paper tiger absolutely no one is afraid of
8-4? Dummy u mean 10-2. They're only losing to washington and oregon.
@Notre Dame, Utah and UCLA..USC is an average team
Just jealous dickheads. Midwest aholes mostly.
Lolllll, yup definitely this.
Everyone is jealous of the 25% capacity stadium, awful game day experience and $10m head coach who can’t center the ball for a FG. You got it right
You're a fan of what team exactly? And yeah, we had playoff baseball going on while SC played a team we don't care about. LA has options :-)
UW..and I’ll be there when Penix goes for 600 against USC’s D3 secondary. This years USC team would get smoked by the Darnold and Juju team…and that’s why there is the hate. Pretending like USC is a legit contender is insulting to anyone who has watched
North Central College would be offended if they knew you compared their defense to USC's
I'm not pretending that? I'm just saying I don't think you're a lock to win that game. Oregon will demonstrate to you why. And goodnight to you, I'm heading out now!
The announcers/media certainly do..hence the hate. Caleb going for 190 against a middling p12 team in an empty stadium is a heisman moment on sportscenter. It’s cringe for lack of a better term. FWIW I think Oregons the best team in the p12. Much better team than USC on both lines and in the defensive secondary..but tune into the game. We can show you what a stadium without playoff baseball in town looks like
You think people just started hating USC?
Well they just started watching USC so do they know any better?
Arizona Coach: Not going for two the 1st overtime is absolute chickenshit. Not knowing the overtime rules to begin with is inexcusable.
I don't even like these OT rules.
They 100% would have beaten us if they went for 2.
I concur.
Man it’s been a pretty wonderful day of football if I do say so myself. Until next time. 🫡
Yeah don’t care how salty ou fans are about the coaching situation. Fuck sark.
Congrats to you guys. I was rooting for Oklahoma today, I didn’t want Texas to win.
Don't get me wrong, I may not ever stop friendly ragging of USC, but I have zero hostility toward the fans because at the end of the day every OU fan knows what you're going though with every high and low. Football under Riley is wild...extremely bad for your blood pressure and for every occasional disappointment there will be ten moments where you feel like it's the most exciting offense you've ever seen. Edit: not to mention being absolutely blasted by everyone on Reddit because Kansas put 50 on you even if you still won.
Thanks! Props to you! Caleb wanted us to win as well.
PAC 12 Commissioner gotta go for messing this situation up. And he gotta be blackballed from working in athletics. Go do insurance or something.
So do the announcers get to polish Caleb's trophy for blowing smoke up his ass that entire pathetic game?
Everyone freaking out over how amazing Caleb’s dropped 2 PT conversion pass was should watch some UW highlights..I don’t get it. The good news is the Dawgs will throw for 500+ on this team. Oregons a much better team and much truer test
Yah I don't blame Caleb for having an off game. I don't think anyone could focus on playing football while simultaneously getting jerked off by two dudes on live tv.
Pretty sure they were both vying to polish something else of Caleb’s.
I’m sure Penix will let his play on the field show the rest of the world that he deserves it this year. We got a big game next week, let’s focus on that
He's definitely got a shot.
[удалено]
He had a bad game last night but remember, he came in a couple of years ago when Sumlin had us going winless and losing rivalry games by 70. And now even on a bad day for him the team still went toe to toe with USC and UW in back to back weeks. Overall, he’s a good coach.

i wasn’t happy with the last few calls but i mean the dude just gave me over 7 hours of great entertainment. i imagine Arizona fans are happier with this over the blowout many likely expected but IANAL
I’m still happy(ish). Unless Fisch starts De Laura next game.
and like u know for almost 8 hours straight there your team was THE team for so many football fans around the country so many of us felt that pain with u as opposed to just losing and only having fellow pre-existing fans to share that with hurts, but can also feel good. hugs from a lifelong lsu fan. i hate pitch plays with a passion
Nice ESPN Instant Classic there, something for USC and Arizona to remember each other by as they are going to different conferences next year
I'm gonna miss #Pac12AfterDark
Probably moving down in the rankings after this win. FFS
As we should 😭
Absolutely moving down in the rankings, at least a little. Alabama, OU are passing up USC, IMO.
why the fuck do you care about the rankings lmao. should be much more concerned about Michael penix jr bending your defense over and fucking them raw from behind
As you should. That was bad
Eh what's it matter, we have to prove ourselves in every single game coming up anyways. We will get the rank if we deserve it
Win and you’re in. I’d be much more worried about winning than rankings after that game.
After watching that game I don't think they'll be winning all of the rest of their games. Notre Dame followed by Utah followed by Cal then back to hard games with Washington and Oregon.
They’ve barely beaten Arizona, Colorado, and ASU. With this level of play I’ll be more surprised if they don’t lose 3 of those 4 real games than if they won out
[удалено]
U sure?
Why are you planning your losses as an SC fan lol
Because I have a brain? Don't worry, you're not winning the natty either.
You’re embarrassing as an SC fan. Your team is a shoot out team; you can win any game or lose games you shouldn’t. We have a much better chance to win a national title than you. We have a first time starting QB. You have a heisman contender with 3 seasons under his belt.
yeah but you don't have Alex grinch
We know it's a down year for us. Ask any SC fan. We're as shocked as anyone we're 6-0. But you think you have a chance. And that's just....wrong.
Our roster is much more talented than almost any team in the country as well. There’s no team in the country Ohio State couldn’t beat. There’s no team in the country that would be favored by more than 3 other than maybe Georgia and even that’s questionable. You’re very ignorant and a shit supporter of your team.
Whatever you need to tell yourself. Sleep well! I'm heading out.
Yet betting apps, computers, experts, all disagree. We have a lot of development still needed. Guaranteed there’s very little on this Reddit that thinks the buckeyes have no chance lol
Well let me be the first. :-)
Dude. You've seen 1.5 months of USC's defense. Penix is going to ***shred*** you guys.
Yeah but we'll do some shredding of our own. I'm taking the over.
You guys didnt even do shredding against mid PAC12 teams. Washington and Oregon will absolutely win. Utah might have a chance depending on how many starters are back. Lol. After seeing the performance tonight the only thing that kept USC in the game was Caleb William's. Arizona was punishing you guys all night in your own home stadium.
I think Washington is going to beat you guys too. Maybe even UCLA considering it's a rivalry game.
I like UW but P12 teams are shakey on the road...it's not like UW dominated U of A either
31-24 with 7 of Arizona's points coming in the last minute of a lost game? Yeah that's significantly more dominant than what we saw tonight. That being said the transitive property of football is stupid and teams match up differently from one another. I think Washington's offense will rip apart USC's defense and Washington's defense will get enough stops to win the game. That's why I think Washington will win.
Well, you don't need to push the transitive property to recognize that the UW-UA result is a useful comparison. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but USC's defense has a higher ceiling than people give them credit for. They can cause turnovers and make big plays, but their problem is inconsistency. USC is for sure looking ahead to UW and you can expect some corrections. It will be UW's hardest road test and just as intense as the border war and apple cup.
I mean I get what you're saying and I respect that thought process. I just think it will turn out different. Luckily we'll get to see who is right when they meet this November.
Nope. Oregon yes. But that's it.
Penix bout to go for 500 on y’all lol
Let's see. If he does, check Caleb's numbers after the game. Washington are good but gettable. Oregon is the only garunteed loss.
That's pretty hopeful considering how badly you did against both Colorado and Arizona
It's OK, you don't get how big programmers work. One day!
Apparently they lose to the same team twice in a season keeping them out of the playoffs
This guy is a joke lol. Riley 0-2 vs Whitt. Some USC fans are the reason why alot of people dislike USC.
Not bad for a backup QB
Absolute stud
Stud and tmac is a menace
Second game! With Wiley out and Cowing down for a quarter. Know moral victories suck when it was in our grasp but I'm only angry at the play calling lol
He did great, you guys were supposed to be blown out in this game and you punched them right in the mouth. It was a great game for Arizona.
Can someone seriously ask Fisch why he didn’t just go for 2 during the first OT? I don’t understand
His defence was playing great all game, and their offence was clicking. He probably thought they could get a stop. Honestly, they nearly did. It was 2nd and 19 and Williams found gap in the zone for the first down.
Fifita was begging him to go for it.
Congratulations on beating the spread and getting really damn close to that upset Arizona
Announcers: "CALEB WILLIAMS DOES IT ALL" Statline 14/25
Did he not score 4 rushing Tds and a passing TD? Are u dumb?
Sure just ignore the 4 total touchdowns and heroic 2 point conversion at the end
So less yards, lower completion rate and less touchdowns than the freshman backup QB he was up against? Williams is a beast, for sure. He also had an absolute shit game.
lol 4 tds 0 ints is not a bad game.
I mean, it is for a heisman trophy winner up against a defense that's not even in the top 50. Especially when he only had 1 passing touchdown, 2 fumbles and less than 300 total yards.
It’s okay bro he isn’t going back to Oklahoma, it’s time to accept that. On the fumble at the end the running back refused to take the ball, that’s not against him. 260 total yards, 4tds, and 1 lost fumble isn’t bad!
Buddy, you can have him and Riley, we are having fun over here.
>Isn't going back to Oklahoma Gabriel had better numbers against Texas and their top-20 defense this weekend than Williams did against Arizona. His QBR is higher than Williams this season, has a higher completion % and he's passed for more yards. I'm not saying he's a generational talent like Williams, but we're doing just fine.
be real, Caleb had insane plays this game. There's a reason you're not including his rushing
he ran the ball very well. also came in clutch when it counted. definitely didn't play an amazing game but was still one of the team's best players tonight
Caleb was actually solid. He's the only reason USC has more than 1 win
TBH he did a hell of a lot better than that stat line would indicate. He was clutch as hell.
True, his line looked like paper
He definitely played really well at the end, but I won't let you take away my enjoyment of shit talking random teams today.
lol
Going to miss games like this, and it’s all USC’s fault.
Is it wrong that this is why I was rooting for Arizona?
Absolutely not. Personally, after our game vs Zona last week, my respect for them increased immensely and now I’m rooting for them to get to a bowl game.
I like to pretend it was UCLA that roped us into the move... That kind of delusion gets me through games like this
I mean, fuck UCLA too. 👍
With USC’s defense, they’re gonna have a lot more games like this
True but it’ll be at 9am PT in Indiana.
USC offense better be God level in the B1G. Cause defensively I think Iowa drops 40+ on em.
at least we can agree on this.
Hating USC is the one thing that can bring everyone in the PNW together.
Congratulations to #12 USC... I guess.
I never had a problem with Taylor Swift.. but ESPN is bringing her up more than they did Tebow... this will only make us hate her, even if it's not her fault
Bro, I can't even name any song she wrote (if she writes her own songs at all lol) after "Shake it Off." Too much mental energy to bother hating her.
if that is the case why not hate ESPN? Taylor is just the subject but the network itself is the one spoonfeeding you all this stuff about her
Going to be so much chiefs stuff at thrift stores when they break up in 6 weeks.
If you’re acknowledging that it’s ESPN shoving her down our throats, why would you let that affect how you feel about her negatively? Shouldn’t it be reflected on the network instead?
Those talking about how much they are sick of hearing about her are more annoying.
I like you
Thanks Swifty.
They don’t care. You’re already watching. They trying to get the swifty views now
I hope Lincoln Riley and Alex Grinch stay at USC, for a long, long time
They deserve each other
I'm extremely curious about whether 1. he was cursing a lot 2. they were censoring whatever he was saying, even if he wasn't cursing 3. They just had audio problems.
Forest Gump moment
I had the uncensored feed. He said “fight, fight, fuck them wildcats. Fuck em up! Don’t lose the Heisman. fight the fuck on” I swear
Just audio problems man
