After letting it marinate

That's really where we are at this point. It's too early to know much about either team other than they looked about evenly matched and they made the clutch plays down the stretch when we faltered on offense.

Halfway through the second quarter I knew it would come down to last possession.

USC Qb made the plays.

Oline was great in pass protection but left much to be desired in the run game. That will get better.

After UCLA game, we should have a better gauge of 10-2 or 8-4

LSU coaching shot itself in the foot when they played not to lose in the second half.

Some of these leaders that were chosen need a come to Jesus talk with mistakes and taking plays off.

USC made more big plays and got some help from the refs with both calls and swallowing their whistles.

I said it earlier. Assuming they improve, 10-2 isn’t out of the question. I wouldn’t bet on it but I wouldn’t think someone was insane for saying it.

I think it’s more likely they go 9-3, maybe win a meh bowl game and continue to beat the “10 wins every year” drum which is frustrating.

BK runs a fine program, but I’m starting to doubt whether he can take it from good to great. Hope he can cause he’s going to be the guy for at least a few more years.

And the USC WR made two outstanding catches that certainly helped their team. They might lose without them, probably do

Also a missed holding call on the first catch.

To use the music of E40s song Choices

“ Maybe USC is better than expected” - NOPE

“Maybe LSU is worse than expected” - YUP

Finally a thread that gets it.

Yes it sucks losing 5 openers in a row, that's seriously the worst part of it all. Other than that, this team has shown under Kelly that they can do great things despite it.

Who knows, maybe USC rolls the rest of the year like Fla St last year. Nobody knows yet.
