Let me be clear...I'm not making any excuses, but traveling coast to coast this season hasn't fared well for many teams. I'm seriously wondering if there might be something to that.

The obvious.
1. Two FGs in the red zone doesn't cut it. got to score TDs.
2. USC has a big speed advantage at the skill positions. Their killing us on the edges and in space.
3. Nick and Katron need some vision, and a jump cut.
4. Our WRs are so out classed in this game.
5, And last but not least. we're getting out coached, what's new.

The biggest issue with the defense is they're not creating turnovers or negative plays--we'll see how we adapt but they were overly aggressive in the first half that hurt them

DL getting washed away on runs. LBs not playing downhill. Their OL is doing just enough and they have schemed their yards.

Definitely need turnovers.
 
I am so ready for the Franklin era to be over with let’s face it he will never get us where we want to be

Always has been, it is amusing how the board idiots get excited about every year and then explaining away the Bowling Green game, and blind to the fact that we cannot run for anything when it matters, have no receivers, and an average defense,
Is any team good using your logic?
Texas and Ohio State?
 
playoffs come down to this half.
Lose this game and the playoffs are likely done. Pencil in Big Game James’ annual loss to Ohio State as well as a trip to Wisconsin and it would take a lot of things to fall right for PSU to get a playoff spot.
 
Why does everyone think with a loss at USC we're out of the playoffs?
The top 3 in the Big Ten will get in--unless we lose a third game we're safe
 
Bc we look like we'll lose again besides OSU
Based on what? Stop--relax
It was a difficult half. No worse than the BGSU half.
We get the ball to start the quarter but even if we lose this we're still in good shape to make the playoff
This is why USC losing last week was bad though--this game only helps them

They are doing it today.
But this team has equal talent, which is what I was saying. They definitely have a history of playing down to the level of teams with less depth and overall talent, though the last couple of seasons have been better.
