Jeeeeeeez. So, Brian Kelly is out, right?

I think his buyout is too big right now for ND to straight fire him. Also I think they give him another year if he doesn't "choose" to leave. He's won at least 8 games since 2010 taking them to a NCG and a NY6 bowl last season. I don't think you can fire him for having 1 horrible season. ND needs to pony up the cash for a new DC. Their defense hasn't been the same since Bob Diaco left for the Uconn job

Is Darnold already on the verge of being an A-A caliber QB as a redshirt freshman?     Wonder how that Alabama/USC game would look now, vs having Browne at QB and the defense not being on the same page back then vs being on it now?    Ronald Jones II has been outstanding as well in the 7 game winning streak (110 carries for 761 yards - about 7 yds/carry).

USC has outscored the opposition in the 7 game winning streak, 261-122.

Go Utah!   If only the USC defense hadn't collapsed in SLC two months ago.   The PAC-12 title game spot would be clinched by now.

USC up 1 to #12 in cfp rankings.

they're dominating the discussion. Can't hurt in the long run 

[gotbeer]

Wow.  #99 on Notre Dame is a complete dick.  First the unseen foot to the helmet when the guy was down.  Then stepping on the foot of a guy down. 

[nando714]

USC dominates once again .. rooting for UW in ccg. Most likely will slide into rose bowl if UW beats cu next week if not they'll be playing in a ny6 bowl somewhere else

SC predicted for Alamo Bowl?

Yes if cu wins ...cu to either playoff or rose...UW to rose or Alamo? USC to Alamo or another bowl?

if UW wins...they'll be in playoff and I'd be surprised if cu went to rose over USC. Usc beat both UW and cu plus USC has been the talk of the town ...Michigan vs usc rose bowl sounds very attractive 

gotta let it all play out. We'll know a week from now

[Angel Oracle]

So, either Roses or Alamo Bowl then?   A lot better than the staid Sun Bowl, in El Paso where people go to Ciudad Juarez for entertainment!

Next season could be a lot of fun, with a lot of returning players.

Joe McKnight was shot and killed in his hometown in Louisiana today. He was 28. Damn... What a talent too. Sad.

[Angel Oracle]

Sad news on McKnight, he arrived at USC just after the USC/Texas Rose Bowl showdown.   R.I.P.

USC is now rumored for one of the following:  Roses, Alamo Bowl, Cotton Bowl.

Road rage.  RIP.

That said, he was my least favorite Trojan.  I hated watching him.  Probably because I was still living off the high of seeing Reggie, but also because he tried to be Reggie on every play, instead of being Joe.  Drove me absolutely bonkers

Except on that drive in the horseshoe.  Probably his best drive ever

The current guy at Penn State sure isn't the answer.

The Penn St job isn't and I believe will never be what it once was.  Unless they bring in a Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, etc I can't see them being able to resuscitate the program, and those guys would never touch that job.  The Sandusky/Paterno scandal wasn't your run of the mill cheating on tests, drunk driving, guns and weed kind of issue.  Boys were being raped for decades and the man in charge as well as the school admin covered it up.  That's a stink that may never go away.  Paterno was a real piece of shit and he is Penn State football.

 

i agree

USC back home in the rose bowl 

like peanut butter & jelly. 

Never would have thought that after 1-3

90% of his post was accurate.

[Angel Oracle]

Congrats to USC on reversing the 1-3 start and coming up Roses!

Now, complete the comeback with a win on January 2!

Probably 2nd round to late 1st imo

How the hell did Adorable win DPOY?  Dude is a mediocre at best DB, his value is just as a kick/punt returner.

also a consensus AA 

[nate]

Yeah, he won a ton of stuff, and he is bad.  He even got burned by UCLA receivers.

All world kick returner though.

Adoree, the next Devin Hester?
