USC Morning Buzz: Don’t Forget The Propoganda That Got Us Here
It’s easy to forget some aspects of USC that the paid propogandists pushed all offseason and have conveniently forgotten as the season heads south.
Remember we were constantly told how USC returned the most starters and the most returning production?
A prime example of this was the offensive line. I never understood this. If players are not getting it done as juniors, what makes you think they will have a sudden transformation as seniors? It happens with coaching but who is coaching at USC?
- Remember the bragging about what the strength coach was doing? There was a whole thing from the paid propogandists about players losing or gaining weight on the eve of training camp.
At the time, I wrote, “I don’t care about weight. I care about performance.” We were told defensive tackle Jamaal Jarrett went from 375 pounds to 360. What happened to him? Does he play?
- Here’s another indictment of Lincoln Riley. He has whined about the schedule, the travel, teams coming off byes, etc.
But has USC played a good team yet? It has two losses and still hasn’t played anyone of note. Oregon has three losses. Dylan Raiola has looked terrible in every game except USC. But the Ducks were literally the only team USC played that could pass and run the ball.
Who else did USC play? Wisconsin? Penn State? Washington? Could any of them pass the ball proficiently?
This schedule was tailor made for a good coach to mow down a bunch of one-dimensional teams. And Lincoln Riley bungled it.
This might go down as a generational miss for having an opportunity to really do something in the playoffs. Of course, if USC beats Ohio State, Indiana and UCLA . . .
