USC coach questions refs after Minnesota loss; best player on D may be out for year

So I didn't watch the game, but apparently Minnesota's late TD to win it was awarded by replay officials after the call on the field was that the Gophers had been stopped short of the goal line on a 4th and 1.

Ironic as hell, given how Minnesota was jobbed in similar fashion the week before against Michigan. I guess maybe the USC game served as the league's version of Minnesota's make-up call...a week later.

Anyway, at his press conference Tuesday, Riley said there were a number of officiating "misses" in the 4th quarter with the decisive booth reversal being the biggest. The latter occurred after a lengthy review -- sound familiar? -- but when the coach questioned the conference office this week, they appeared to (verbally) agree that the evidence to overturn the call on the field had not met the criterion of "indisputable." Unfortunately, it still goes down as an L on USC's record.

I mean, when you hear that the video review was "lengthy," you know that the evidence can't be "indisputable." It doesn't take that long to see something "indisputable."

Poor Trojans. They're beginning to find out how things work in this conference.

Meanwhile, word is that Eric Gentry, the linebacker who's arguably been their best player on D this season may be gone for the year.

Lincoln Riley says officials reversed late call without video evidence in loss to Minnesota

USC coach Lincoln Riley says the Big Ten said there was no indisputable evidence to overturn a goal-line stand vs. Minnesota. Eric Gentry out 'indefinitely."

He was clearly over the goal line. Should have been called a TD initially. But since it wasn't, I'd agree that there was no way to definitely see where the ball was at so by their rule, there wasn't indisputable evidence.

We couldn't see the ball in that scrum but the only way the ball didn't reach the white line is if Minny's QB was holding it down below his waist which is hard to believe.

I've seen a still photo that makes it look like the ball was actually fumbled but impossible to know (from the still) if it happened before or after he crossed the goal line.
Super close call. Not convinced it should have be overturned.
This also speaks to the downside of the "Tush Push" -- it's super hard for the refs to actually see where the ball is (both live and on replay) due to the mass of humanity around the ball. So unless you make the line to gain pretty easily, there's a potential for a bad call.

It was called the Journeymen Classic, and yeah, looks like we aren’t doing it this year.

Journeymen Duals is the one in December:

By the way, @ItalianLion I think they flipped from Rokfin to Flo last year for the duals, if memory serves.

Harris: From Unqualified to Disqualified

M
Another good read as to why Harris should not become president. "I hate Trump" is not a good reason to vote for her. It might work for @fbh1 , but it is still a very poor reason.

The author cites 5 reasons.

https://tomklingenstein.com/from-unqualified-to-disqualified/

Kamala Harris is not just totally unqualified to be president but disqualified. Here’s why:

First, the obvious disqualification: she enthusiastically allowed and enabled millions of foreigners to enter the United States with no legal permission. We don’t know the real number — it could be as low as three million or as high as 11, just for the last four years. She oversaw a “broken” system that actually worked great, at least for her party: the system is so “broken” that somehow millions of future loyal Democrat voters from around the world managed to board flights into the interior of the country and fill small towns in the Midwest, in swing states, and in our formerly great cities.

For a broken system, it sure seems to be working pretty well! Under her Border Czarina oversight, even naturalization times have been reduced from years to just a few months — just in time for the election, coincidentally. Amazing that a system this broken can operate this efficiently! Illegals even get phones loaded with a Customs app that lets them right in, no questions asked.

But encouraging, even celebrating, the mockery and degradation of our national sovereignty by foreign actors for years is in fact a serious crime she has committed — against her own citizens, the constitution, and the laws she swore to protect and defend. Remember her oath? To protect us against threats foreign and domestic?

Kamala personally turned grave foreign threats into domestic ones by opening the door to 425,000 convicted criminals, over 13,000 murderers, and almost 16,000 rapists and those convicted of sexual assault. Not all entered under her watch, but these men are today “roaming the U.S. as part of ICE’s non-detained docket.” None have been deported! Every single rape and murder and robbery and DUI crash they commit was 100% preventable.

Worse, Border Patrol agents routinely warn that known terrorists have entered illegally, along with nine surface-to-air missiles that entered the border into New Mexico.

Disqualified!

Second: She has looked the other way as a catastrophic and preventable drug epidemic continues to ravage young, mostly white, Americans. In just a few days in September at a single point-of-entry in Nogales, Border Patrol found 1.5 million fentanyl pills hidden in cars. The poison China is sending is being driven right through the open doors she’s keeping propped open. Around 110,000 Americans overdose each year, many by using the pills stashed in cars driving up from Mexico.

These numbers are approaching a genocide being inflicted on us by foreign countries such as China and Mexico, and allowing this to continue constitutes giving aid and support to our enemies.

Disqualified!

Third: She has completely ignored the impoverishing of her own citizens under the crushing inflation she caused. The Inflation Reduction Act, naturally, spiked prices and she personally cast the tie-breaking vote. She did this to us. She drove millions out of the middle class, made the struggle out of the pandemic a thousand times worse, and has never once acknowledged it or apologized for it. And then, she delivered the final coup de grâce and abject humiliation to the citizens she is supposed to care about: she helped send $100 billion of our money to the most corrupt foreign government on Earth (outside our own).

Ukrainian officials have fully funded pensions and giant, brand-new mansions have proliferated in the suburbs around Kyiv. We all built Ukraine back better, and had no say in it. Kamala Harris owes us a lot of money and an apology. We’ll never see either. But the least we can do is disqualify her from continuing to feed Americans into the poverty machine for four more years.

Fourth: Kamala covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline for years and hoodwinked the people she is asking to trust her. Trust her? She pretended Joe was fine and to this day acts like the only reason Nancy booted him off the ticket was because he had an off-night at the debate. She has known about Joe’s mental decline and delicate medical condition for years and did everything in her power to hide it from us. Predictably, not a single member of the press has ever asked her about this. She has gotten away with the biggest, most insane cover up since…well, this is way worse than Watergate. This is extreme deception, and maybe the greatest national security scandal since they had to cover up Obama’s sketchy origin story.

And finally, fifth: the recent historic and devastating flood in North Carolina has left hundreds dead and thousands without food, water, power, or their homes. There was little warning. Facebook is full of desperate posts of people begging to be rescued off roofs and out of flooded areas. One woman posted a photo of her parents and 6-year-old clinging to the roof of their house outside Asheville as a 15-foot-deep ocean of turbulent water swept past. Seconds later, the roof collapsed and her parents and child drowned in front of her eyes. And where was Kamala while citizens were begging for her help? She was busy doing a podcast with two former NBA players, and an episode of an X-rated sex advice podcast called Call Her Daddy.

Call her disqualified!

USC is going to get some big plays. Miller Moss is averaging 280 yds per game passing and a lot of that has come against ranked opponents. He probably won't panic because he's battle tested against good teams (LSU, Mich, Wisc, Minn).

PSU likes to bring a safety (Reed) up to blitz the QB or provide run support. That leaves a lot of open space in the middle of the field. Possibly only Wheatly or Lane back. I expect USC to take advantage of that with quick release passes to their TEs and WRs on slants. Also trying to beat man coverage by our CBs.

Best case scenario IMO is we hold Moss to 260 yds passing with a 62% completion percentage. Hopefully none of them are break away for TDs. Hold their running game to 110 yds. That would be 370 total yds compared to their average of 440. Hopefully hold them to FGs and win the turnover battle. USC is averaging 31 pts per game. PSU has to hold them to 24 or less.

On offense PSU would have to score more than 24. Let's say 27. PSU is averaging 28 pts vs all teams not named Kent State. USC gave up 27 to Michigan, 21 to Wisconsin, and 24 to Minnesota. Our offense has to perform as good or better than those teams.

Yep...a couple of turnovers would be nice as well.

Half of the Quarterback's torso crossed the goal line, so the only "issue" was that he was holding the ball tight against his chest, making it hard to see. But I feel it should have been ruled a TD on the field, and then "stands as called" after review.

Riley is a clown. The Minnesota QB was in by a mile. The referee's had their head up their ass missing that call.
Riley has done nothing since leaving Oklahoma. I guess it's harder when you have to play more than one game a year.

Oh yeah, that play. It was one of those where it was obviously a TD given how the QB went well over the goal line before being down; the issue in saying it was "indisputable" is that the ball isn't really visible the whole time so it is possible that he fumbled it before crossing the goal. Extremely unlikely given how the play evolved, but I suppose it cannot be claimed to be an absolute certainty. I don't really have a problem with the call being overturned as it was obvious they got the TD but I do think it is one of those situations where needing something to be "indisputable" is an issue.

Seriously, they were not good last year, and if Williams had not bailed them out in several games, they would have had more losses.

And then they had 7 guys drafted and 4 others invited to camp, and have the predictable growing pains of adjusting to Big 10 football to deal with.

I just hope we get a few weeks after Saturday where the pussies on this board refrain from trying to pump up every opponent just to see themselves type.

I think this is a challenging game. We're rightly favored to win it...but not by a lot.

It's pretty bizarre this notion of vicarious manhood where anyone who thinks the game may not be a walk-over must be a "pussy." Good grief.

Fortunately, the fans aren't the ones playing. But if some of them revel in showing how tough they are from their armchairs, well, to each his own.
