‘Ol Mule Shoe doesn’t want to have to deal with coaches that have big personalities, who are brash, opinionated, who are hard nose and demanding. The reason ‘Ol Mule Shoe keeps those clowns Grinch, Nua and Donte Williams around is because he can control them rather easily. Good thing for Riley that Fisch was the brain trust across the field Saturday night. Meanwhile, Jedd the Fisch doesn’t even know the overtime rules and had to burn a timeout before going for 2.You know how bad this game was? Riley made Johnny Nansen look like a good defensive coordinator.Who is getting better? Why is USC so uninspired? Can you envision this team in the College Football Playoff? Defense is what got us going and closed it with a huge TFL to win the game.” “When you go down 17-0, you get tested internally. “I thought we took some great steps,” Riley said. Arizona’s backup QB passed for 302 yards and 5 TDs. Riley is coaching so poorly this season and he just relies on Williams to bail him out.It couldn’t protect Williams or pick up blitzesĪll of the above have been sticking points for me since the end of last season while the rosy media fanboys tried to say how improved everyone is. But the front 7 allowed Arizona to rush for 203 yards so how much better are they? You what else is awful? The offensive line. I don’t know how you fix the secondary, which is awful.Riley ran a weird formation but the play backfired and it was only Williams’ athleticism that turned it into a successful conversion. The game-winning 2-point conversion was more arrogance. Did we mention USC has no special teams coach? That was followed by the Keystone Cops field-goal attempt that was blocked. Williams then panicked and tried to set up a play to spike the ball but Riley called timeout. Then he compounds the error with a running play as Caleb Williams and MarShawn Lloyd fumbled the exchange. Instead, he tries an ill-advised pass that could have been intercepted. All Riley has to do is kick a field goal. The final series in regulation was pathetic by Riley. Where to begin? I’ll start at the top because Lincoln Riley has become so lost in his arrogance, he thinks he has all the answers. If he were blowing the coaches away, he would be at corner.Īsk yourself this: USC’s high-end aspirations are to be make the College Football Playoff.It’s just too much to ask for USC to play to its expectations. But I said from Day 1 he was not a savior and we are seeing that with the move to nickel. He has more experience than all the other corners combined. Roland-Wallace is reluctantly playing nickel. Covington might start but he has three career starts so he’s also a little bit of a question mark. Frankly, Wright is inconsistent while Jackson is completely unproven and has yet to play a full season. This is a downgrade from a year ago when Mekhi Blackmon was the top corner. The nickel back is Christian Roland-Wallace. The other spot is being contested by Domani Jackson and Jacobe Covington. It’s the cornerback position that has been a bigger point of contention. The safeties are basically the same trio from last season: Caleb Bullock, Bryson Shaw and Max Williams. “They have good days and not-so-good days,” a source said. I identified the offensive line as an area of inconsistency during training camp.
