GameDay Open Thread - USC @ Oregon

USC Trojans at Oregon Ducks, Oct 31, 2009 5:00 PM PDT


Well...It is the game of the century for this week.

It is simple really, control and protect the ball. Stop Oregon's running game and don't for get the Tight End!

I will be off and on thread during the first half...It's Halloween and we have a lot of kids in our neighborhood who also tend to come late.

I am going to put the thread up early if you want to comment on any of the games in progress. Leave your questions, comments and rants here. Make you score predictions here as well.

FIGHT ON!

Good luck USC from Duck country

Hope its a good game (and that Oregon wins of course). Lets have a clean one without any ref controversies, decided by the players.

I feel the same way (well maybe not about the Ducks winning) – let’s hope we show the rest of the country a good game settled by the players.

I really hate halloween – but it just started raining so with any luck my kids will be back soon, my wife can take over with the candy, and I can get back to what any right-thinking individual should be doing – i.e., watching the game.

Oh and SC by one is fine with me… Just win.

Pass/Run Ratio

I don’t have a TV so I only see the play by play online.

After Allen Bradord’s 4yd run, USC’s has thrown 19 passes and only 9 rushes. Is this by design or is Oregon stacking the line of scrimmage?

You are absolutely right – and it’s not like I think I could do a better job, but that seemed like and odd selection given the likely field position after the punt, the time left in the half, and Oregon still having 2 time outs.

Mind you, if they had fucked something up and given Oregon a short field or an easy 7 points, I’d have been even more incensed. Maybe I’ll stick to watching the game.

If SC wins this I’ll be thrilled / amazed. We’re chasing the Ducks and I don’t see where we’re going to overtake if the best we can do on defense is hold them to three and the best we can do is score three.

I wish we had a different broadcasting team doing this

I’d like some actual analysis and decent replays to at least see what the breakdowns are

Bench Taylor Mays

hire a defensive coordinator.

No he hasnt

he can’t cover for shit, he’s a lousy line backer playing safety and he’s killed us this year by playing 10 yards or more deep every play. He goes for the kill shot on any play he’s in instead of trying to play pass defense. He’s awful.

Playing 10 yards deeper is how PC wants him to play...

More importantly where was all this criticism of Mays been…this is the first season that ANYONE has questioned it here. I don’t recall a whole lot of complaints before this season…

Not true

There were doubts in past years but the rest of the defense was good enough to hide him. He’s been exposed this year.

Spread offense is here to stay

SC normally looks it’s worse against this kinda offense. But now they have to play them every year.

by TrojanInAtlanta on Oct 31, 2009 7:54 PM PDT reply actions  

I don't think there's much to figure out

It’s looking to me like mental mistakes. Overpursuing, not holding your assignment. That’s not really a scheme problem, although positional coaching can help to avoid and correct it.

by Boy Howdy on Oct 31, 2009 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

On the bright side

The almost vertical punts are marginally harder to block.

by Boy Howdy on Oct 31, 2009 7:56 PM PDT reply actions  

This is new

I’ve never seen SC getting manhandled under PC. This can get into upper 50’s.

by TrojanInAtlanta on Oct 31, 2009 7:57 PM PDT reply actions  

At this rate it would be an achievement to keep them under 60.

Don't lie Brent

Even if that TD stands, it’s not going to make a difference at this point.

by DC Trojan on Oct 31, 2009 8:03 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

Well, at least the defense were able to catch their breath during the review.

by DC Trojan on Oct 31, 2009 8:05 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

For the sake of argument

If SC was to play the ducks next week again, do you think Defense can slow them down then?

by TrojanInAtlanta on Oct 31, 2009 8:06 PM PDT reply actions  

No

Me neither

those small ones are now huge

we can no longer lose to lesser opponent, now that someone has risen to challenge us for years to come. it’s good for pac-10 though. SC is being unseated by a genuinely good team in the pac-10.

by TrojanInAtlanta on Oct 31, 2009 8:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

Now Oregon's picking up penalties to challenge themselves

Because our defense sure isn’t!

(rimshot)

try the shrimp, they’re on special!

by DC Trojan on Oct 31, 2009 8:14 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

I'm more upset at the lack of defensive adjustments

than the actual loss. Just embarrassing.

by bluemax on Oct 31, 2009 8:15 PM PDT reply actions  

there are none available

i don’t think PC has it in his playbook to stop a spread offense.

by TrojanInAtlanta on Oct 31, 2009 8:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

He'd better find it soon.

UW, WSU, Oregon, Cal, Arizona all run spread type offenses.

I can’t see him leaving Lane on his lonesome in Knoxville somehow ;)

by DC Trojan on Oct 31, 2009 8:24 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

We’re just getting beat. End of.

by DC Trojan on Oct 31, 2009 8:23 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

what about the offense

have they picked up a first down this half?

by TrojanInAtlanta on Oct 31, 2009 8:26 PM PDT reply actions  

Wow

should have done this running thing all game.

by Ericppk on Oct 31, 2009 8:35 PM PDT reply actions  

Right...

0-5 in the Pac-10 nice showing.

It is a tough loss but I will take our accomplishments over yours any day of the week.

by Paragon SC on Oct 31, 2009 8:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

Rocky

Can this be laid on him? We need a DC that knows how to defend the spread. Offense is on a good track, they’re just not built to put up pinball numbers.

I stated as much earlier

The problem is that PC seems to be clueless against the spread. This is not a pattern anymore it’s a stone cold fact. Rocky is PC junior. We need an infusion of new blood from the outside to change things.

I remeber this feeling well

it’s been almost 10 years. The big question is what this will do to recruiting, this probably means Lache Seastrunk is headed to Oregon.
