Game Thread: USC vs Utah

[BoiseStateFan27]

He was a god when he was a junior. Then Todd Graham convinced him to try to play at 305 lbs instead of 280, and he got too fat. Still good, but he was the best defensive tackle I've ever seen at ASU when he was 280 as a junior. The statline is obscene for an inline guy. Something like 12.5 sacks and 25 TFL's. Didn't help that he got hurt as a senior forcing a fumble/TO against Oregon on the first play from scrimmage.

Graham switched it to a 3-4 defense I think? Wanted Sutton to be a nose tackle when he didn't fit there I'm guessing

On the 2nd kick. Was it off setting penalties?

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I'm stunned at how bad Utah's defense was

95% sure it wasn’t

 

[dennis580]

Wow and now the run game comes alive after being totally dead the whole night

USC was offsides with contact, meaning the play was called dead

 

[Sgt Brutus]

stop here utes, don’t bend at home

Graham always ran a 4-2-5 with the 5th DB normally a hybrid LB/S. They ran a 4 man DL, but fattened Sutton up for some reason. Presumably to make him more attractive for the NFL, not knowing Aaron Donald would become a thing. Sutton and Donald were the same era, and Sutton was better when they were juniors.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Weak. Get that #10 ranking the fuck outta here

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I find it absolutely hilarious that USC has faced the toughest opening 4 game stretch of anyone, Clay Helton has coached them so poorly and they've taken a frustrating loss to BYU

Yet somehow by the skin of his dick they're 3-1

lulz utah.

That turned out to be such horrible advice LOL, it's amazing that Graham made it as far as he did

Until it fell apart he did bring in good players to Arizona State but you guys always looked like you could break through and have a great season under his watch and somehow it would always fall apart down the stretch

why the heck was USC kneeling down so early

Wow there is a bunch of ways we can go with that.

 

[WizardHawk]

and lulz at all the assholes that bought into Utah that this was their year.

Utah is Utah.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Well I guess the Pac-12 can try to make the playoff next year

[Inquisitor95]

Damn I had to watch three field goal attempts to get me the over.

But he made it all three times.
