Totally shut down Vaughns and Amon. He would check all of the boxes at USC jjg4sc and Cardinal&Gold like this.

I'm willing to bet we'll see other coaches make adjustments and figure out how to score with ease against ASU. Why? Because we've seen this before. Our coaching staff making another team look like world-beaters because we don't know how to adjust. The announcers were repeatedly saying throw to the seams, stop running into the middle on 4th and short, etc. But not our coaching staff, nope. jjg4sc, USC1988 and 3rd Slide like this.

Plus we had two turnovers two in the red zone ( one on the 6 inch line). Should have put up 38 -42 points. That's not lights out. AMLTrojan, jjg4sc, USC1988 and 3 others like this.

With proper use of tempo, I thought there were plays to be made, but I have these same feelings often with Air Raid. Our play calling made ASU look better defensively than they are, imo.

It took a lucky bounce and lucky botch on the onside kick for USC to even have a shot. If ASU had a WR that could catch it would've been a blow out loss. Looks like Darby is it. USC1988 likes this.
