Congrats bruins. Last night was the first time I can remember ever seeing ucla being bigger, stronger and faster that USC almost across the board. The SC WRs were noticeably smaller, weaker and slower than the ucla DBs. It was like high school WR vs. D1 dbs. The WRs could not get separation in man coverage. ucla dbs were reaching over the heads and around the SC WR's bodies to deflect passes. The drop off from Drake London to the next guy was like a jump off Mudd tower.
The SC OL looked shorter, fatter, and slower than the ucla DL. The ucla lbs were taller, faster, stronger that the SC lbs - by a lot. They also had been coached on how to tackle and were not afraid to hit and wrap up. The SC OL looks like the least talented squad on the team and has been for over a decade. This group must be the first priority in recruiting to protect the 5* QBs that seem to keep coming to SC, but also to establish a dominant run game and therefore offensive balance. Ingram had to do all the hard work, and show consistent patience in waiting for holes to open up. It's revealing to SC's current talent level that he was discarded from the bottom of the deck at Texas, only to show up and be the best running back at SC. Vavae is serviceable, but not a feature back. Here, again, SC has a long drop off from #1 to #2.
The roster needs to be restocked with 4/5 stars across the board. This will take 2-3 years to build up enough experienced talent before SC can earn it's next Pac-12 Championship.
Gomer doesn’t know a football player from the glazed doughnuts he shoves in his fat stupid face. The USC teams, since Pete recruits that ran out in 2012 or so , were the last football players. Kiffy, Suck, and Gomer recruited wide outs and qbs. They think football is 7 on 7 and that is what SC football looks and plays like.
I noticed that right off the size difference. The UCLA O-line towers over the SC D-line. Alec Anderson and Sean Rhyan had a big advantage.
And your DC should never be allowed to coach football again. EVER. ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET. He makes Azzinaro look like a rocket scientist.
You're giving way too much credit to the UCLA defense. They're not good. USC scored 33 points and should have scored well into the 40s. That's almost always good enough to win.
Not to take anything away from DTR and the rest of the offense, but the biggest factor in the game was USC's terrible defense, the worst in memory. Yes, the secondary got torched, but there were so many blown assignments it looked more like prep and coaching than lack of talent, and then demoralization compounded the issue. But the front 7 is really weak, particularly the DL. Man, those guys need work.
100% true. Rodney Peete raised the alarm on his radio show after the Stanford game. He knew.
We have no size and very few freak athletesZ
No Drake London, Bru McCoy or Michael Trigg.....there's where our size was.
