Lincoln Riley to USC

Me and mdleast are going to the USC-UCLA game at the Rose Bowl in 3 weeks. Both teams might be under .500. UCLA for sure unless they can beat Iowa and Wasington. USC has Nebraska so maybe?

I haven't watched USC much at all this year, but I'm guessing their demise is due to:

 

1) poor defense (always been Riley's weakness)

2) opposing defenses have adjusted to his offense and he has no answer

3) No all-world QB to save the day

I was at the UW-USC game yesterday and would attribute it mostly to number 3. The defense wasn't great or anything but they kept UW in the 20's despite being -3 in the turnover margin. USC started a little slow but moved the ball well. Outganied UW by a healthy margin. I thought their QB missed several open WRs for big plays in the first half (they probably should have emphasized the running game sooner) and of course there were the three INTs. One was a tip if I recall - shit happens - but the other two were not good.

Riley strikes me as an un-serious head football coach, good for him I guess.   I hate OU as much as anyone, but when you leave OU for LA and USC, that tells me it  was a money grab and lifestyle (for all its issues, Southern California offers a lot) and not about legacy and performing at the highest level.  I get that USC is a blue blood and he figured he'd spend 100% of his time in the West when he made the move...but a grinder, a serious coach stays at OU to continue what had been a solid multi-year run.  He's young, he's a finesse guy and he does not have what it takes to be elite.  Look at Kirby, Sark to a degree, Oregon's coach, even Day, Franklin (I know I know big games) ,but Riley looks like the pussy compared to those guys.

Going to be interesting to see if Missouri pulls up their skirt for the Sooners the way they have historically this weekend.  If they can maybe not do that then there's a very real possibility of year one in SEC going 1-7 for OU which would be absolutely fucking amazing.

I care far less about USC but they will proably win the N is for nowledge & crosstown slapfight games and be bowl eligible baby!

I dunno about the kNowledge v Rubbers game going the way of Trojan Man. I think corn could very well pull that off. Not that I am or ever will pull for them.

Corn lost to UCLA at home. Losing in LA to condom seems likely to me

If he does get fired, I wouldn’t mind him joining our staff as OC. He and Sark together would be insane.

What's wrong with you? Sark owns the offense. He wants to own the offense. Why would you want that bitch-made,  belly-tatted twat in Austin?

The brisket.  He would bring his brisket prowess to Austin.

Riley built his reputation on 4 NFL QBs in Mayfield, Murray, Hurts, and CW. Malachi Nelson being a colossal bust was a huge setback. Assuming SC and Michigan will pay whatever it takes to buy themselves back into relevance with a portal QB this offseason.

Maddux Madsen is only a RS soph. Nelson may never see any real playing time in Boise cause Madsen's not going to the league.

When the Caleb Williams moment happened back in 2021 I knew in my fucking SOUL that was the very very last drop of QB miracle magic both Riley and those boomer bumfucks had left in the chamber.  

They were both due for the biggest mean regression and this season is proof that's happening for both brisket boy and the stoops brigade.

Indiana is now in position to reach the Big Ten title game and, likely a playoff bid, despite finishing 3-9 last year, starting a QB who transferred from the MAC and a head coach who brought a handful of starters from a Sun Belt team, which begs the question of why Big Ten football looks so hard for Lincoln Riley.
