Game Thread: #5 USC @ Cal Right now on ABC

[DJ]

Spitball stories? For real?

These Cal uni's are worse than the Boise State field.

Well that puts things in more perspective.

Watching Cal power up the middle on USC is very very strange.

SC is short handed in the D line and LB. Gustin tried to tough it out last week but added a bicep injury to the shoulder injury and screws he had inserted in his toe. Nwosu was also injured at LB. and Green was added to the injury list off the D line last week. Their defense is stretched really thin atm. No Ronald Jones is a big hit. I'm not fond of Ware and Mal. Still no Bebe. For SC to have a chance. They're going to need the freshman Carr and some WR's to step up. Wasn't liking this game coming in. Liking it even less without Rojo

This Bowers kid is pretty effective.

Can't say I'm surprised SC has a lot of starters out on defense. What's more concerning is Rojo was listed as questionable. And I don't remember seeing him on the field once. He's been their best offensive player all season imo. Well looks like he's out that's a big hit for SC

 

[DJ]

USC got the fumble....

 

[TheRobotDevil]

lol at that PAT.

Walk on kicker is a walk on kicker.

Great kick last week but still not sold in the kicking game. The competition before the season. Was almost like deciding which one was the lesser of two evils

Johnson didn't even make the trip. Carr is good too though.

USC gives it right back.

Carr is explosive but as we just saw he's still young. Gotta protect the ball

Holy shit they gave it right back. Good god, this team is undisciplined.

 

[WizardHawk]

Just when you thought it was safe to say Cal is going back to being Cal, they come up with a quick turnover back and a momentum swing.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

What a series of events LOL

 

[WizardHawk]

Carried that ball way too loosely.

Ya, that was a shame. This team is very undisciplined.

 

[WizardHawk]

"playing against one of the best teams in the country" he says...

 

[Montalban]

# 17 on Call is really fast.

 

[WizardHawk]

Highest rank =/= best team

 

[TheRobotDevil]

That's where Jones injury hurts. He's the power runner with burst. Carr needs a hole opened for him. Or to get the ball in space. To be at his most effective.

Darnold is garbage.
