Good for Jonathan Smith and Oregon State. But holy Moses USC is terrible.

Usc has given up 87 points in their last two home games. That is embarrassing. Going to be a long long season. Zero pride.

When did the offense become so abysmal.

USC's performance tonight, and vs Stanford, are entirely the result of lack of accountability and discipline that has festered for years, combined with a style of offense that allows programs w/out 7 national titles to compete with USC in the trenches

If there ever was a game where Kedon needed to show leadership and execution to prove he was the guy moving forward… it would be this game. It’s up to the offense to keep us in this one #fighton
