USC game. What did we learn

We wanted the true freshman 5 star.  We got him. We have to take the lumps. He can hit the portal if he wants to. That doesn’t make him a better player. Reps and work make him better. He’ll only get those here cuz he sucks right now. 

 
I have zero faith in Rhule. His clock management is atrocious. His play calling is questionable. Our offensive line can't provide protection for Raiola. Donovan should be fired. I thought with Holgorsen as our OC we would go deep more often. I guess not. I have serious doubts with the entire staff.

It was great opportunity to see what HH could do since DR was injured, but we still didn’t try to take advantage of it. We still preserve his reputation since it was injury not a benching. If we just pulled him and say it was his back “injury”

I think its time to scrap it all.  Go find. a first year coach from somewhere, anywhere!   Fresh face.  No more hiring rejects.  Actually, I don't care.  With this new playoff scheme, only a few teams will actually have a chance and we are not one of them.  The rich will get richer, and the others will just contend for bowl games.

Seriously, the 12 team playoff is for the SEC to get 4 or 5 teams and the Big 10 might get 3, and were not in that 3.  Frustrated with the whole thing.  When the SEC gets 8 preseason rated teams in the Top 20 its easy for them to get 2 loss teams into the playoffs.  So in other words, the failures for the last 20 years have sealed the fate.  The game is all about money now, and no one really cares how much we have because were no longer relevant. Wasted to many years when we should have been getting this thing going.  I think its to late now

 
B1G Front Office simply changed “OSU” to “USC” and mailed another apology letter.

Foley is still dead weight. ST blocked a fg and accounted for 8pts, while the offense scored 6 and defense 6, too.

Tony White’s defense just can’t do enough. They are the reason why we have a chance to win the game, but too many busted plays - primarily by the secondary. IIRC, there was a stretch of years where I desired more blitzing, now I’m watching a lot of blitz packages with little success.
 

Raiola is playing scared. OL takes more heat than they should due to scheme/playcalling, RBs, and QB play.

We literally have 32 defensive backs on the roster, but apparently can only play a guy who has apparently been hurt for two months and a guy who's been routinely beaten for the past year-and-a-half.

 
1. I don’t wanna hear we have a top 10, much less top 25 defense. House of cards- folded immediately when we took a lead and always crumbles when we need a stop. Nothing like giving up 30+ yards on a 4th and 1

2.  The upperclassmen have earned no right to play out the rest of the season.  There is zero point in playing banks and neyor most plays together, they are too slow and we don’t use their height as well as we should

3.  Matt Rhule needs to hire an assistant that is only in charge of clock management. My god, find anyone who’s played real football and madden since they were a kid and they’d be better at decisions than we are.

4. we absolutely need to beat Wisconsin or we will finish 5-7 and Matt rhules seat will be hot, justifiably so.  To go from 5-1 to 5-7 is simply inexcusable and grounds for a reevaluation
