A team’s lack of fundamentals and discipline is a reflection of the HC. USCHusbandUCLAWife likes this.

It was blatantly evident that Herm and his assistants out-prepared, out-schemed and out-coached Helton and Harrell. We were getting beaten on both lines with our OL looking completely confused and physically weak. Then a streak of luck. Bru McCoy standing in the right place. A fortuitous bounce on an onside kick and finally a pass that narrowly missed being knocked down. I'll take the win, but this should not excuse or obscure the weaknesses, especially in the middle of the OL. On the positive side Slovis is a battler and leader and Drake London is a fabulous competitor (much less so is Tyler V). But for a few plays and getting fatigued late, I don't think the defense was all that bad; the secondary seems much improved as seen in ASU's final possession. We have to face reality: USC is not likely to become a viable championship contender against the likes of Oregon, but Helton is going nowhere. Cyrus likes this.

Rodgarnay51 Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 4,366 Likes Received: 4,242 Nov 7, 2020 #1010 This is the kind of game SC hasn't won since McKay. In the PC years they either blew out teams due to superior talent (which was almost all the time), or they lost. Other than Bush Push and a few others, they seldom had to win in the clutch. Since then with the obvious exception of the great Rose Bowl win with Darnold, they still haven't been winning the tight ones. This is up there with the biggest Trojan miracles. I think you can say we were lucky without fear of contradiction. I must be getting soft. I know the game hasn't started yet, but I kind of wouldn't mind seeing the Domers beat Clemson. Shame on me, I know. Peete2Affholter and Cyrus like this.

Ultimately with plenty of time left they chose to pass instead of run and handed us the game We never stopped Daniels running all day. We win one we should not have. Haven’t seen that in years. Our team looks good but not great. in2nation likes this.
