Lost the Texas game by half a point, but i was pulling for KState. They should have won that game.

I think Oregon going to be in the playoffs.

Anyone remember when OU and Texas Tech were playing games just like this USC and Washington game? Bama and LSU not far off.

I don't know how that hit on Daniels wasn't reviewed for targeting

Both of these defenses can’t stop a soul. USC holding them to 3 was huge

Looked like targeting but no review at all is sketchy

 

[bksballer89]

that's a first down

Not his fault Lincoln Riley doesn't realize there's other phases of the game besides offense

Some of this is on Lincoln and some of this is bad coordinators (which ultimately is his call) It's remarkable when he have that kind of offensive execution (save the ND game) and the D gives you almost nothing.

But I've seen it in OSU too. In 2018 and 2020. Both situations were bad coordinators though. And even that is a perfect example where Schiano is an above average college head coach but below average DC

I say all that to say that Riley is a hell of an offensive mind but he needs someone to handle that defense

He can't do it.

Lincoln Riley is a glorified OC. He can’t even begin to understand how to evaluate the defensive side of the ball.

He can't do it.

My argument is that he can’t even hire that guy.

It’s not just that. Offense is prioritized every step of the way including recruiting. Plus he doesn’t let his teams hit and tackle in practice for fear of injuries to his offensive stars. This will follow him everywhere unless he changes his overall philosophy. I don’t miss it.

A ton of teams at all levels don’t hit at practice and they have success. That’s a small piece of his failure. Like Charlie Weis and other offensive guys before him he doesn’t even know what he should be looking for in making a defensive hire.

I’m telling you I know about this, it’s very fundamental with him and his teams will never be tough because of it. OU has Jerry Schmidt as strength coach, one of the most respected guys in the country. He ended up leaving because Riley wouldn’t let him push guys too hard. Just one example.

You can challenge guys and prepare guys without going live in practice. It happens all the time. For me the only time it’s paramount to hit is bowl prep because of the layoff. Alabama Georgia etc…don’t hit in practice during the regular season.

USC fans are seeing it first hand now, soft soft soft.
