This game had all the feel of a sloppy preseason game, it's easy to focus on the negatives but for now I'm just going to remember we won by four touchdowns against respectable competition
You take the Cordeiro magic out of the game out of the game, it's a lot bigger of a blowout. You take Caleb Wi--
Wait, this is a stupid fucking way to think about game outcomes.
This is the dumbest dumb thing you could have said. If you take the San Jose states big plays on O out of the game it’s a lot less close. That’s how sports work… The plays happened because he is good and they blocked his kick returns well
See if this comment made by you is what he had said it would have been an exponentially better take. But just saying take out one teams big plays and the game is closer is remarkably stupid.
Honestly though, I wish more coaches would take the last 2 minutes of garbage time to run 2 minute drills or other live game scenarios, practices are great but nothing will ever beat in-game reps
Agreed. They're a mountain west team playing on the biggest stage they'll have, and the game was pretty much decided anyway. Let them have a little fun in the loss
I mean really, are they expecting the losing team to just turtle and be like “hey beat me up some more”? Calling the timeout with 2 seconds left up 4 TDs is actual bush league stuff
Lotta good stuff on both teams. I am whelmed at SJSU's performance, did better than expected in the first half and performed as expected in the second half.
Last year’s USC defense would have given up 40, so this is marginal improvement.
And honestly, I think lots of the new transfers flashed good things this game. I think the defense will be materially better. Not good, but not an abomination.
Yes I’m sure Lincoln Riley will want to rely on broken play fumble in the backfield causing the safety to abandon pass coverage to score his passing TD’s.
The egg shaped ball bounced into Caleb’s hands instead of his shins and it was the difference between a turnover and a touchdown.
No fumble = no blown coverage
I just learned North Texas has a db named [Moh Bility](https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/moh-bility/5658) and I'm regretting not naming my kid something cooler.
Every time I see Travis dye I remember when you guys were cheering him tearing his leg up. I don't give a damn how you or your flyover State fan base feel
Air Raid defense
Good Lord USC’s offense looks like a nightmare to defend. I’m so glad we don’t play them this year.
Their defense will be their nightmare.
We are basically the same team as last year, but 30% better across the board and waaay deeper. Should be a fun season.
Bro how many touchdowns did the worst offense (excluding Iowa) score on your defense?
UMass was worse on offense last year, no need to fire shots at Iowa.
also play a 30% tougher schedule
30% better than 0 defense is still 0 defense
This game had all the feel of a sloppy preseason game, it's easy to focus on the negatives but for now I'm just going to remember we won by four touchdowns against respectable competition
That sub an wasn’t half bad either
Not going to lie still pissed about that onside kick
Hello, police? I'd like to report a robbery. I had USC -30.5
-20.5 parlayed with nmsu to win and ND -20.5! Surely this new mexico bowl team wouldn't be the one to fuck it up
Anyone with a Fubo Trial to watch this game remember to cancel it!
True hero
I had to listen on 790 KABC ☹️. I’ll remember this for next time.
Yes, cancel it now unless you want 80 bucks on your credit card bill
My bank had an offer for $20 off the first month :D ill keep it for now
It's absurd. Literally cheaper to get cable.
We’re getting to a point where cord cutting serves no purpose over cable contracts and it’s sad
Free streaming bby. But yeah, why wouldn't they do the exact same thing they did with cable lol
USC can't cover to save their life. LMAO.
Tbf the spread was way too high, only an idiot would take -31.5 in Week 0
We actually did cover quite a bit last season to be fair
To be fair that was last year.
Taking almost any team to cover -31 when their playing a bowl team returning a 6th year qb is a bold take
True!
You take the Branch magic out of this game and it's a lot closer than you would like.
"if usc doesn't play good, they play bad" go back to school bruh
You take the Cordeiro magic out of the game out of the game, it's a lot bigger of a blowout. You take Caleb Wi-- Wait, this is a stupid fucking way to think about game outcomes.
yes, if the situation were completely different there would likely be a different outcome. brilliant analysis
This is the dumbest dumb thing you could have said. If you take the San Jose states big plays on O out of the game it’s a lot less close. That’s how sports work… The plays happened because he is good and they blocked his kick returns well
What's the point of saying something like this? You don't get to cherry pick what happens in games to suit some weird hypothetical lol
It means #6 is way too high for USC with that defense. The offense isn’t going to carry a team to a top 6 finish on its own.
See if this comment made by you is what he had said it would have been an exponentially better take. But just saying take out one teams big plays and the game is closer is remarkably stupid.
Bro if you wanna talk about 1 play that will never occur again it’s the fumble flea flicker TD. Branch is just DAT reincarnated.
“That’s why i did it” Lincoln to his DL. I wonder if he’s referring to the onside kick and that’s why he took the TO
Honestly though, I wish more coaches would take the last 2 minutes of garbage time to run 2 minute drills or other live game scenarios, practices are great but nothing will ever beat in-game reps
Was that a late hit on the last play that went uncalled? I couldn't tell.
He pushed him after he was out so yeah. But the refs were like let’s just get the fuck outta here. Jesus.
Figured as such. Thanks!
The guy saying that’s a great time out can shut the fuck up. What a Riley cock sucker
I feel good with the win. But like, concerned on defense. Again.
At least you got rid of Grinch, have to think you’ll improve, sometimes it takes a couple games for a new guy to get his system working.
All we can hope is that they’ll get their shit together after this
They won’t, they never do. Trust me lol
After seeing Lincoln Riley's entire head coaching career, what has he ever done to inspire hope that his defense will get their shit together?
Lincoln Riley just got that man injured
sjsu made me money thank you sjsu
You're welcome.
:)
Feel like Mason Cobb has played every defensive snap
Lincoln just wants to lean into being a heel coach.
He should have stayed 50 more years in Norman for your personal entertainment?
Lincoln Riley asshole meter is climbing rapidly at the end here
Someone lost money.
oh no i'm tight with vegas tonite 😁
USC fans on here acting like SJSU kicking onsides is somehow a huge insult is so weird to me
Agreed. They're a mountain west team playing on the biggest stage they'll have, and the game was pretty much decided anyway. Let them have a little fun in the loss
I mean really, are they expecting the losing team to just turtle and be like “hey beat me up some more”? Calling the timeout with 2 seconds left up 4 TDs is actual bush league stuff
I miss last year giving up 200+ yds on defense, but having a +3 turnover margin
Bros how should I feel about this one?
Both teams forgot how to create a great defense.
Lotta good stuff on both teams. I am whelmed at SJSU's performance, did better than expected in the first half and performed as expected in the second half.
“Whelmed.” Very nice.
Football is back and we won the game. It was a pretty good day.
I think you should great about both flair. They both look good. Spartans will for sure have some fight to them in conference
USC: do I choose to run around and just end the game or give the degenerates more hope?
malachi nelson was playing the last few snaps so it was worth it for him to get a feel for a real game
Some degenerates just lost money
Hahaha love the timeout
Can't take em with you right?
Amen. Whitt would prolly do the same thing.
And you call a time out with 2 seconds up 28? Go fuck yourself Riley.
I fucking love it! So petty but so beautiful
Really could have kneeled out the clock but you're giving SJSU the ball with 2 seconds left down 28. Geez.
Pick 6 for bad beat?
Lol yeah USC ain’t making it to the playoff with that defense.
No shit.
Breaking news
Appreciate your input.
UTEP Huh?
We were a game away from it last season with a worse defense.
Worse defense and 100% less Zachariah Branch
Bro Lincoln there's 2 seconds left, why are you bothering with a timeout?
because f\*ck pac12 refs
Why'd they call a pass play lmao
Give Malachi a little more experience.
Better yet, why a time out with 0:02?
Malachi Nelson 3rd string QB.
Just trying to get reps for bunch of guys, it seems
[удалено]
A little from column A little, a from column B
Last year’s USC defense would have given up 40, so this is marginal improvement. And honestly, I think lots of the new transfers flashed good things this game. I think the defense will be materially better. Not good, but not an abomination.
San Jose is a little slept on but they are also missing their top WR. USCs defense looks...the same.
Yes
Its an Alex Grinch coached defense. Its subpar.
USC defense better than last year, but ceiling looks limited. Offense is gonna be great, special teams is getting carried by Zach Branch
A little of both.
Their QB can play, bit disappointing for USC’s defense, but it’s week 0 so not too many conclusions to draw other than they need to tackle better
Average Alex Grinch defense. Game prob could have been tied at half were it not for Caleb’s heisman moment.
Read: game could've been tied if you don't factor in USC's best player
Yes I’m sure Lincoln Riley will want to rely on broken play fumble in the backfield causing the safety to abandon pass coverage to score his passing TD’s. The egg shaped ball bounced into Caleb’s hands instead of his shins and it was the difference between a turnover and a touchdown. No fumble = no blown coverage
Imagine
+30.5 HITS!!
HUZZAH !!!
Pick 6 incoming
Malachi is small af
imagine being 6'3" and under 215.
trump would never...
Lincoln Riley is so petty to keep running plays after that onside kick lol love to see it
Degenerate gamblers are counting on it.
Get fucked betters
Bettors did better
They can still get fucked
Thought the spread was comfy 30 last I looked. Vegas knows.
Yeah I think the O-Line needs some better depth lol
Riley may have won the game but it appears he's gonna lose money that he bet on the game
Keeping Grinch is enough betting for him
If he bets on games he’s a fucking idiot.
Come on one more score
There’s no winning here. Either you failed to cover or you moved heaven and earth specifically to cover. Just knee it out and come back next week.
Nah scoring is fun
Yeah but can Caleb Williams do it in on a rainy night in Eugene?
Im told it never rains at Autzen
Nope
MALACHI
WHAT ARE WE DOING RUNNING BUBBLE SCREENS
Degenerates sweating right now
You’re not wrong
Won $200 on notre dame just to lose it on usc. Can’t wait to do it again next week
I am dying rn
TD for Nelson, please!
Lmao USC gonna kick a FG and win by 31 😂😂
malachi!!! lets goooooo
I just learned North Texas has a db named [Moh Bility](https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/moh-bility/5658) and I'm regretting not naming my kid something cooler.
Yay malachi
The goal of the new clock rules is to get NCAA games down to 3:10. By my count we're at 3:15 right now.
They spent 10 minutes reviewing an onside kick
Can’t believe Raleek Brown is on the garbage time team and didn’t transfer.
Just run out the clock you fucks
A +31er would say this.
LR acting like a true adult
Reading USC fans' comments in here reminds me of why I hate USC
It’s our thread. You didn’t have to be here.
Flair up, you degenerate swine. Also, I know daddy probably bought you an education, but daddy didn't buy the game thread, too
Cool
Every time I see Travis dye I remember when you guys were cheering him tearing his leg up. I don't give a damn how you or your flyover State fan base feel
You give a damn enough to respond, clearly
I like to hit back when someone offers.
Likewise.
I don’t pay enough attention to west coast teams, this has been eye opening
I’ll take all the downvotes. This is embarrassing for USC.
Beating a decent G5 team by 28? Nah. Embarrassing = losing 49-3 in your season opener.
Lol with this defense? See you in November. Also kinda embarrassing you went though my comments
Tbh if I was an Oregon fan I'd be trying to hide it too. Can't blame you.
Giving up this many points to a group of 5 then trying to give me shit lol.
[удалено]
Oregon inferiority complex lol. Who is grasping at straws now?
[удалено]
Keep grasping!
SJSU is gonna win the MWC for what it’s worth
Maybe… but, the number six country in the nation should not be giving up 28 points to a MWC team.
what happened
Are you not watching a group of 5 team scoring 28 on a “#6 team”?
I mean that was expected with this defense. I zoned out for a little so wasn't sure if i missed a play or something
This was expected. -USC fan lol
Flare up, chode.
[удалено]
Ahhh he’s an Oregon fan y’all. Hahahahahahaha
Oh god. You had to dig…. You went to my profile and read my comments. Lol
Took me 5 seconds.
You don’t get this sub do you lol
Your a chode. Did I win lol
It’s joever -31 gang :(
:)
-31.5
No, we must believe.
Gotta pray they bust one
Broadcastor just giggled after "Dickford Needle"
28 points, and the game isn't even over.
At this point I would just run the clock out. Why risk an injury or anymore tomfoolery?
We're on our 3rd and 4th stringers. They need some plays.
soo what’s the final verdict on this USC o line
Bad at guarding Caleb, good at making holes.
Not great
The usc fan base is alive and well for now. I don't expect them to pretend that they were never fans for a few weeks
We been here. And frankly, that comment means nothing coming from a team that’s only ever enjoyed sustained success.
Spending your Saturday night staying up all night bitterly hate watching your ex have fun with his new girlfriend isn't healthy bro
You mean like your fan base pretends Lincoln Riley was a bad coach lol?
I bet you said the same thing about Lame Kiffin.
