USC is 4-1 at The Coliseum This Year

[IrishMike409]

They'd love nothing more than to ruin our season. And Lincoln Riley needs a win to save face and and salvage the year.

Saturday is gonna be a dog-fight and full of ups and downs.

The D has to come out and play like they have all season. Hoping Cross is able it go. I trust Golden to have the boys ready.

Offense, hopefully simple: Ground and Pound. Get the OL into a rhythm, and leverage our 3 elite runners- Love, Price, Leonard. We should eventually wear them down, then really put up some points.

Can't wait for Saturday. I'm nervous, but I trust Freeman at this point. He's proven to have us ready in "big games". Well, this one is as big as it gets. USC, in LA.....playoff birth and home game in Rd 1 are on the line.

Saturday is gong to be awesome.

I never take playing USC at the coliseum for granted. As usual, they have really talented guys in the skill positions, so contain)ng their offense will be a challenge. The fact they have led every game into the fourth qtr is an amazing stat; and the fact they have not lost by more than seven points is another interesting stat. They will be super competitive tomorrow.
I do worry about the level of attrition we’ve experienced in our front seven. We better hope that Cross can play, and plays well. I really appreciate what Hinish brings to every play, but he’s a significant downgrade from Cross. Losing KVA is yet another hit. Our depth of talent has been one of the most impressive aspects of our success this year, but damn we’re getting thin.
Love this game above all others. Nerves and anxiety building. Can’t wait.

Agree on the attrition. I would love to have Cross, KVA and B'Mo in this game......

Typically this is a game that launches USC QBs into post season accolades and the NFL.

Does Riley Leonard have the grit to flip that narrative? Does he have Tony Rice-Joe Montana stones to get us a tough win and keep this special run going...?

I say yes.

The 4 home wins should be wins....Utah State, Wisky, Rutgers and Nebraska.....

Still does not mean this game does not scare me.....I'm interested to see if our two CB's can keep up with these speedy receivers.....

USC will be reminded about last year's beatdown. That....and destroying ND's tournament chances are motivators we can expect to see on display. ND cannot commit stupid penalties or give up big plays downfield. I am still not sold on RL in crunch time. I think he has has more than his fair share of help this year. I hope he proves me wrong.
