Now that was a pleasant surprise. Like that they ate a bunch of clock too.

Broussard in on 4th and inches. 7-7. That drive is what Bloomgrem probably dreams of. And it had a run/pass balance that I much prefer. Offensive line looks shaky, but no more shaky than USC's secondary. Still, I wince every time Green's first option isn't open and he has to go through his reads.

Who kidnapped Bloomgren’s offense?
I need to send them a thank you note.

The thing I found most impressive about that drive was no backward toss!
Nice drive overall, decent accuracy from Green and some nice plays from McCaffrey!

We're looking for positives in this game. Really good push there by Enechukwu on that first down.

Awful call on Fresch, who played that really well. Can't ask a DB to defend the best WR in football without being physical.

Just can't get off the field on 3rd down. Really good block by a USC HB on a DB blitz that I thought was gonna get home.
7-7 end of 1Q. Defense unsurprisingly looked outgunned. Admittedly, I'm not sure how you stop this USC offense without having an awesome DLine. Have to give both Williams and Addison an extra man.

14-7 USC. Very easy again. Doesn't even really feel like the defense is close to getting off the field.

Just don't understand the heavy formations. When you know you're outmatched athletically, I don't know why you'd allow the opponent to stack the box.

McMahon into the game for some reason. Just pick a QB and stick with him.

Saved by a pass interference.
Well now USC is challenging it.
Edit: challenge successful, 4th down

...I'm confused. I get the tipped ball rule, but that was interference before the ball was tipped.

RE: Rice Football vs USC in 2022
The defense was always going to get gashed but they just don't look prepared, which is unacceptable. Three throws from Williams to the middle of the field where there hasn't been a Rice DB in sight.
