Pate is a SEC homer that freely admits he grew up hating USC.
He’s evolved as a CFB analyst, and I make it a point to follow his X account and podcast.
He must read this board, because his question/statement at 13:15 is obviously directed at a couple of the board geniuses .
Good listen, enjoy.
Really insightful, more honest than usual for him.
Funny comments about TV Trojans at the 4 minute mark or so
and yeah, at 13:15 the idea they are playing a video game and can push a new button every week is laughable.
I thought it was interesting to see him acknowledge that while they wanted to do a reset and shock the system in year 1, and they did, that going to the portal again hard the second time may not have been the greatest choice. I get it because he has Caleb coming back. But overall it probably cost them in 2024 because they went all out in 2023 and flopped.
Hard to believe it's only been a year since they opted to overhaul the D staff and personnel. Lot happens in a year. Now they have to find an offense lol
