After a painful loss to the Minnesota Gophers, the USC Trojans tumbled out of the AP Top 25 rankings. They have a pivotal matchup with the Penn State Nittany Lions that will make or break their season.

Yes season over.
Jamal you sound like a Nebraska fan on the playoff take, there is no way they run the table. i wish they would.
look on the bright side… USC doesn't play Oregon
Notre Lame is ranked 11th even though their loss to NIU is far worse than USC's loss against Minnesota and they have a the 69th strength of schedule while USC has the 28th. Make no mistake, there is bias against USC.
With the O line as bad as it at Pass protection and I not much of Miller Moss fan I see the possibility of another 2023 season . I see 4 game that could and will probably lose Penn State Washington Nebraska Notre Dame and maybe Rutgers. Even when run is working Riley drop the run and go back to passing
The Penn St game is a must win. The Portal is the way college football is done and the good teams also fine players in the portal. USC will have to pay a premium for high school and portal trench talent if this school wants to be elite. Also, don’t sleep on Nebraska
Sc winning Saturday. We should not be unranked. The funny oart will be when we beat Penn state we will just make the top 25. Haters
Usc has 2 loses in 5 games. Barely above .500 and y'all are wondering why your not above 5-0 and 4-1 teams? Wat fantasy world are USC people living in? Seriously?
I am a realistic USC fan, and I see us lose at least 2 more games. We are an average to below average team. That LSU win gave us all false hope. New subscriber, good content
Thanks, guys, for a “sensible” show. I can’t help but think the WAY we lost the two ROAD games (second half collapse) was because travel day was THE FREAKING DAY BEFORE THE GAME!!!
And, I think since they put Michigan at 24 they had to put us at 26.
My conspiracy thinking says the B1G conference couldn’t let “the new guys” come in an make a big splash, so they used the officiating to put their thumb on the scale (you KNOW which two games I’m talking about).🤔
Great point on how big the McCree loss is…changes everything on how successful our offense is. LR’s ego is definitely in play here.
We got booted because they want to use that to the recruits. Yes, they hate USC.
We need to admit this isn't a good team
Everyone hates USC because we have it all. Great weather, Beautiful girls, beaches championships, Heisman trophies, super stars jealousy is a powerful emotion
USC is a mid B1G team im sorry but you are who your record says you are😢✌🏾
I feel bad for Penn State fans cuz USC actually plays well in the Coliseum. They're averaging 43 points in the Coliseum and holding opponents to 10.5 points. I wont be surprised if USC wins this game honestly. 🤷🏻♂️ Just like I knew Minnesota had a chance to beat SC last week.
Coach Row you don't know football, if you think Miller Moss is going in the first round in the draft, makes me Laugh. Just Look at Miller's numbers this year it's below average, he has thrown multiple interceptions this year in games. The problem Lincoln runs his offense out of the ROP and Miller is not a Mobil quarter back he gets sacked so much cause he can't move and Lincoln has just had mobile quarter backs, Baker, Murrey, Hurts, Lincoln has had all these years and his offense has been only ROP offense. You don't know football I don't know how you say your a coach. You don't know quarter backs. Just keep receipts this year will see how Miller turns out, he's a below average quarter back and that's a facts.
Coach Row I meant Lincoln offense is made for the RPO not pass protection & that's why Miller is not the right quarter back for his system that's made for only stars he's had that have one the hiesman that can run & run out of structure. Miller numbers this year are below average & he has thrown to many interceptions this year in games, so how is he going as a number one draft pick. So your the one that does not know football & I don't know why you call your call yourself a coach. Caleb had a bad offense & defense Last year at USC & he still kept us in games, if his offensive Line & defense were just average we would of won all are games. He would throw nearly in every game 35 to 40 points a game, but it was the defense Last year that Let all these teams back in games that we should of won. Same thing for all the 3 other quarter backs Lincoln had that were duel threat quarter backs at Oklahoma. You make absolutely no sense? I have been a USC fan sense the 80s.
USC aint rank because they lost 2 games. And stop saying people hating on USC when they ain't been relevant in 15+ years. Yall was in the pac 12 and couldnt win yall no yall aint finna win in the big 10. When the last time someone on the west Coast won a national championship period. And yall bout to have three losses because penn state gonna beat yall. The south and the north run coklege football. Nonl disrespect but nobody looks at the west coast teams as a threat to win national championships
Travis Hunter will win the Heisman 🤷🏾♂️
You two are extremely solid on this back & forth.
The whole program is lost and irrelevant. Might as well fold the program and focus on women’s basketball instead. Fight on!
Hi coach, I really miss Candice. Would it be out of place to request an update on her wellbeing? Now, to address your question on why USC fell out. The reason is as plain as day, Lincoln Riley! Riley calls plays which challenge his players, but never the defense which is front of him. He behaves like someone playing Maden, but not a real, physical defense in front of him. Look at Vandy vs Alabama, and tell me you were not impressed with the shifts and misdirections Vandy used. I was like, why does their offense look better than the supposed Guru, Lincoln Rily? Lincoln Riley is a choke artist, just like Candace kept repeating. I loved listening to her!! I hope she is doing well. Lincoln Riley is punching above his expertise. This guy does not realize that offenses can be used as a weapon, and can dictate, can dictate the game just as well as a defense can. Lincoln Riley is overhyped, and is on the same level as the loser Clay Helton and the inept Graham Harrell. As the saying goes, show me a weak team and I will show you a weak head coach.
I'm not surprised at the ranking of USC out of the top 25. A win for USC against #4 Penn State and SC runs the table at 10-2 they're relevant and play off bound. Great Podcast 👍 I agree 💯 with both of your perspectives!
