Hope the best for the kid. I still feel he is a very good QB that has a lot of character. If he finds the right system be ready to see him put up some great games.

Can be coaching, organizational, roster construction strategy, etc.

One answer I expect to see a lot of is replacing Josh Henson. The o-line does look improved from earlier in the year. Hes also scored some recruiting wins in Aaron Dunn and Alex Payne. Whether those are enough to save his job is TBD. The wide receivers have underperformed relative to talent level, but I doubt Riley would replace Dennis Simmons.

The team lacks toughness and discipline. On past Bama and Georgia teams, the strength and conditioning staff led by coaches such as Scott Cochran were often given the credit for establishing the blue collar attitude and culture of the team. I’m not necessarily calling for Bennie Wylie’s job here, but this team could certainly use more “culture”.

Other things that come to mind are coaching changes to improve place kicking and in game coaching decisions. A fairly obvious logistical change would be traveling on Thursdays instead of Fridays for road games. Lastly, we need to be extremely aggressive in the transfer portal. Obviously you can never have enough talent, but our defense is losing a lot of older players and we need impact replacements. No waiting around for our younger guys to develop while Oregon and SEC teams load up on portal talent, especially along the lines.

Fight On!

Let me know how much you want to pay. Section 211. Last minute deal.

Student section! PM if interest :)

I’m going up to the game from Orange County on Saturday morning for my first visit to USC. We will have a 4 and 5 year old and will be getting there around 10:30 (2 hours before kickoff). Any recommendations for parking? I don’t mind paying if it makes it an easier trek for the kids. Parking far away and public transit is not a realistic option.

So far my research has led me to the Downey and McCarthy lots but it sounds like those may be filled up by 10:30… thanks!!

Headed to the Coliseum tomorrow for the Notre Dame game, anybody have a tailgate with room for two more? Thanks in advance! ✌️

First off, congrats to u/Fine_Tree_2031 for winning last week. The Fight On Funds went to St Jude’s Cancer fund.

The USC Trojans are taking on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in one of college football’s most iconic rivalries. Here’s everything you need to know about the big game:

📅 Date: Saturday, November 30, 2024 🕒 Time: 7:30 PM PT / 10:30 PM ET 📍 Place: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA 📺 Channel: ABC

Odds: Notre Dame is currently favored by 7.5 points with an over/under set at 51.5 points.

The problem with predicting this matchup is who the hell has Notre Dame even played!! Like oh cool you destroyed Navy, Army, Miami of Ohio, Stanford, and Purdue. Cool dude. Right on.

This is why I think SC has the upper hand even though they might not have the same talent as ND.

USC will rely on Jayden Maiava and their explosive offense to outscore the Fighting Irish, while Notre Dame’s stout defense hopes to dominate the line of scrimmage and control the game.

I think SC needs to hold ND to under 30 points at least or they are toast. They could be toast even if they do, just depends on SC’s offense and if they can have a night where a wide receiver has a career game.

What are your predictions? Will the Trojans pull off the upset at home, or will Notre Dame leave LA with the Jeweled Shillelagh? Let’s hear your takes!

Fight On ✌️

Feel free to add your thoughts.

I’m going with USC 30 - ND 28

2013 was the last time i believe

Flying into LA early Saturday morning. Huge college football fan. Was thinking of buying tickets last minute, do you know where I can look for tickets? Is there tickets in person I can get from scalpers? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Watching Bears v Vikings and got my wondering what you’re top 5 QB list is. I’ll put mine

1. Matt Leinhart

2. Caleb Williams

3. Carson Palmer

4. Sam Darnold

5. Matt Barkley

I think the first 3 are pretty agreed upon, order might be different but there’s not much to separate. I have Darnold at 4 because he did win a RoseBowl, went 2nd overall and carried the program through the first half of the Helton era. Barkley at 5 because he came in as a true freshman and beat Ohio State at the shoe and stayed his senior year to try to win a natty when he would’ve probably went number 1 overall.

Interested to hear other peoples list. Mine is all recent but I think the game has become so much more passing oriented that it’s harder for me to put anyone pre 1990s on there

My doctor said the only solution to my ulcers, hypertension, blood pressure, and depression is to stop watching SC this season 😤🙈

They didn't sell on Seat Geek might as well transfer them to someone. Anyone interested? Or even to upgrade?

Section L:4 Row 34 • Seats 3-4

Visitors side

For those who can't be in person, gone are the tons of "watch free" scams as this year the game is being streamed on Peacock.

Verified students can get a promo code with their usc.edu (doesn't work for alumni.usc.edu sorry) at https://www.peacocktv.com/student can watch for only 1.99 a month. Highly recommend as it beats the 80 on fubo lmao

FUCLA. Go USC! ;)

Who is going to be at the fugly Bruins' Rose Bowl home?

Yall have been great with tips so far. I usually park on Atlantic station and train into the stadium.

What are the costs of the lots and how available is it? Also what are alternative options?

If you listen to Composite 2 star they talked about how USC knew Lewis was out for a while and at the end was only have contact with Riley. They also make mention that as much as they swore it wasn't about NIL that behind the scenes they cared very much about NIL. So you think Riley said ok take X money ear marked for him and go get me some guys.

Just a thought but it's too convenient this all happens at the same time.

Where are we sitting for the upcoming UCLA game? I want to be close to the Trojan fans. Thanks!

According to On3’s rankings and recruiting watch (2026 On3 CA Recruiting) USC is on good pace to keep a lot of local talent in state come the 2026 cycle. I am excited to see this!

I understand this is some time away, but to see our staff fighting and competing (and winning!) for local recruits is a very welcome sign. Any thoughts from you all?

Just bought tickets for the ND game. This will be my 2nd home game I’ve been to (first one was 2019 vs Stanford, Slovis’s first start). Wondering what the best things to do pregame are. I know there’s the official tailgate, the Trojan Walk and the TMB walk to the Coli. Then obviously Heritage Hall, Tommy Trojan etc. Any one of those you guys prefer over the other? Anything I’m missing?

Congrats to r/AggressiveSuccess352 for their win last week! It was their first time participating so I think we might have a new loyal member of this contest! He or she donated the Fight On Funds to the LA Food Bank. Can he or she go two for two!!??

My Thoughts:

Here is the deal. Whenever USC has a season that does not meet expectations and becomes a real bummer, the only thing that matters is that they defeat UCLA. If they can also defeat Notre Dame in that same season, one can argue that it was a good year.

I am going to borrow the words of my current favorite USC sportswriter Chris Arledge to set some expectations for ya'll: "UCLA is not underestimated; they are estimated correctly by just about everybody. Everybody knows they're not any good."

You should expect what one should expect which is that USC is a 4.5 favorite because they are higher up on the spectrum of mediocrity.

The reason USC is a more powerful mediocre team is that we have Jayden Maiava who demonstrated that he can make things happen when it counts. However, he also demonstrated that he is not dialed in with his receiving core yet and is capable of making the same type of mistakes as Miller Moss. That said, there was something about his gameplay that made me feel like his mistakes would be corrected and his bonus attributes improved upon each game. I still think he needs to prove his worth and whether he is THE GUY.

Second, UCLA's mediocre team has one and only one thing in mind this weekend: ruin USC's season. They have proven that they can hang in there with the big boys for the first two quarters and make teams like Penn State and LSU look beatable. But they don't have what it takes to finish games nor do they have the gunpower to turn games around in a single play. USC's defense, however, does have that special knack to allow teams to make big plays in a single snap of the football.

Game Preview:

The much anticipated USC Trojans vs. UCLA Bruins football game is set for this Saturday, November 23, 2024 at 7:30 PM! As we all know, rivalry games can be wild and tough to predict but throw in the fact that it is a late night game and you are dealing with Pandora's Box.

Here's what you need to know:

• Kickoff Time: 7:30 PM PT
• Location: Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA
• TV Channel: NBC

Both teams have had challenging seasons to say the least, with USC holding a 5-5 record and UCLA at 4-6. The Trojans are currently favored by 4.5 points, and the over/under is set at 51.5 points.

Score Prediction:

Considering the teams' performances and current odds, I'm predicting a close game with USC edging out UCLA with a final score of USC 28 to UCLA's 24. What's your prediction?
