One week after USC found a spark under interim head coach Donte Williams, Oregon State splashed water all over it Saturday night, in a 45-27 win.

It was even more embarrassing being at the game watching this mess. We were awful on offense and defense. I am not sure how you could get any worse. This game was not even close. Had it not been for some stupid penalties by OSU the score would have been worse.TRAMPLED by the real thundering herd...I see 4 more losses at least. That hellton cancer has rotted this team for 6 yrs ,it will take a 'real' head coach to fix this over at least 2 years---oh well this is what happens when people ignore the truth, how many people will now tolerate a 1/2 assed search?
Look you can blame CH or anyone you want but the truth is anyone with half a brain could tell before the season we were screwed because we had no NT or DT'S . Everyone is going to run up the middle from here till the end of the season. You look at teams like Alabama or Notre Dame and USC the difference is they keep their draft eligible players in school , USC does not . In Alabama they pay more than the NFL , What would USC look like if we kept all our players in school for 4 or 5 years ? The first thing is our DL would have Jay T and Marlon T as 4 year starter .and our OL would have 2 # 1 draft picks starting in Austin Jackson and ATV . Our WR'S would all be draft picks and our RB would be the starter from Super Bowl Champions . I do not blame CH or anyone else , until we recruit to the level of PC and have the depth we had during that period we are always going to have problems...TRAMPLED by the real thundering herd...I see 4 more losses at least.

In some instances, the Trojans signed players who were simply overrated by the recruiting services.
“They’re over-ranked,” the parent of the former Trojan and current NFL player said. “And then the machine perpetuates it because they go, ‘Hey, who has the most five-stars?’ Everybody wants to have the most five-star athletes. It doesn’t matter if a guy is a five-star or not. … So they get all these guys on their team but they’re not good football players.”
“USC always is gonna be ranked top 10 in recruiting but that’s because when you commit to USC you’re all of a sudden ‘a great’ recruit,’” one of the former assistants said. “We had coaches in the building who knew the guys at (the recruiting sites) and they’d call them, ‘Hey I need you to rate this kid as a 4-star before I take his commitment.’ That’s the way that stuff works.
“If we signed 25 kids there were 10 of them that were that way. We had so many (four and five-star guys) who were just terrible. We signed one five-star linebacker and he would’ve been a really good player 30 years ago when it was just going from A-gap to A-gap but not these days when you gotta go tackle perimeter screens now and go sideline to sideline. Look at all those cats that Alabama is running around with. Saban turns down 10 five-stars a year because he knows they’re not good enough.”
wow just nailed it….these coaches get to pick and their evaluations have been off…that those ranking services would just bump kids, not go and actually rate them fairly is why some of the star system sucks…Here was their section on player evaluation:
They have to fire that whole staff and bring in everyone fresh they need a new head coach with a new staff of his own.TRAMPLED by the real thundering herd...I see 4 more losses at least.

He’s trolling the USC fans."We just have to find a way to be better."

Does he know what that means? He has resorted to using his former boss' platitudes after an epic meltdown.
This might be worse than Monte Kiffins record setting home debacle against the zeros because they were supposed to be a good team
and we played toe-to-toe with them on offense. Yes, it's unfortunate that our Dart of lightning in a bottle was extinguished, but to have
no game plan like this was pathetic and stupid. I think we all knew that air raid BS was not a fit for us. It appeared to be a Claydough gimmick
to keep the paychecks coming another year. Perhaps we'll have coaching auditions on campus this week....

Under hellton sc was not getting the linemen , and Ore St had lower ranked recruits by a large margin, and they demolished sc...COACHING MATTERS, and it starts at the topLook you can blame CH or anyone you want but the truth is anyone with half a brain could tell before the season we were screwed because we had no NT or DT'S .
