I just don’t see Kedon being great. I’m not even seeing a dominant win.

Judging by the look on his face while standing on the sidelines last week, I expect to see something much more like what we saw his freshman year on Saturday.

This becomes one of the keys to the game and one of the most interesting storylines of the week, IMO.

The practice report sounded very lackluster. Maybe we can ask OSU to play 7 on 7?

When are you people gunna wake up and smell the stinch....I understand rooting for the good guys, but there comes a point and time where reality must sink in...The Trojans are not good, The D can't tackle, Can't defend the pass, Cant get to the QB..
.the Offense is so predictable it isn't funny....

The judges are considering a new rule for the future. No coming on the board after the game to say “I told you so” when you didn’t have the stones to go out on a limb and make a pick during the week that could be judged by all after the fact. There are plenty of other threads for that behavior. Calling a result after the fact is not genius…or even particularly good sportsmanship.

That said, and despite all good hopes and thoughts, I think we all saw the depths of what the Trojans are capable of last night. Perhaps we’ve just seen the downside of firing a head coach early in the season as a 60 year record falls. And unless something drastically turns around, Mr Slovis is now in severe danger of losing his starting position.

Still, I like to make lemonade out of lemons. Maybe Jonathan Smith needs to be added to our list of coaching prospects. I had commented at the beginning of the week that it was somewhat uncharacteristic of OSU team to come out of the gates so strong. He really does seem to be turning that program around.

Regardless of the outcome, we still have hotly contested season long contest going here on this board. Though the majority of us were pretty much stumped on this game, this is a long season and it is about consistency over the long haul.

We had a very rare occurrence this week considering the unexpected outcome. We had a clear winner instead of a mixed result.

The Official Game Prediction Winner of the Week Award this week goes to:
@Shrapper who boldly and correctly identified the winning team and did pretty well on the final score as well, picking USC 24 and OSU 31. Regardless of how disappointing the outcome was, that is what this game is all about, so good job there.

The Extremely Coveted Most Wrong Title was hotly contested this week…and not necessarily on purpose! However, the winner of this contest is a familiar name to us all:
@The Lizard King, with a pick of USC 70 OSU 67. I am impressed by your dedication to stick with this, and I am a little surprised we don’t have more people purposely challenging you for the title.

We will post the preliminary standings in The Race for the Season Long Prediction Czar later in the day.

The Race for the Season Long Prediction Czar is well underway. Remember, in order to be eligible, you must have participated in at least 2/3 of the games played – that means this week you must have participated in three of the four games played so far and at least 4 out of 5 next week.

Early in the season we see large swings in the leaderboard as players come in and out of eligibility. And this has been an uncharacteristically difficult season to predict so far.

Our Season Long Prediction Czar leader after Game 4 is

So many people were SO close in the exact opposite scoring! I love this game more than the actual games.
I had originally and begrudgingly picked Oregon St. by 3 pts but that 60 year dry spell at the Coliseum swayed me in the end. DOH!
