Game Thread 2017 Cotton Bowl: OSU vs. USC - 12/29/17 @ 8:30 ET (ESPN)

USCs D is average AT BEST, and this 2009 scheme is infuriating to watch.

Even an average D can look great when they don't have to defend the pass.

Up 17 going into the fourth. Had you told me that three hours ago I would've gladly taken it...

 

[TooTall]

BB is fire tonight. They cant keep up with him.

He sees what’s coming in at DT, and knows it’s now or never for him to shine.

Nope...turn the sound off on both of them.....

USC's defense allows 405 yards per game. Bucks have 249 through 3 quarters.

Clemson allows 283. It would've looked a lot like last year.

Why is everyone in panic mode? The only way theyve been able to score is we muffed a punt deep in our territory. It's ok to breathe folks, this defense isnt giving up 3 TDs in the fourth.

As long as the Offense doesnt give one up we're good.

Hell an arm punt would be a good play.,

Agree. It's easy to overact after adjusting our expectations with all that happened before the muffed punt.

If I told you about the turnovers and defensive stats you'd be pretty pissed.

 

[TooTall]

Out of bounds.

I don't think it's panic, just annoyance at this pathetic excuse of offense we've been seeing for a while now.

 

[Systems_id]

Darnold is a monster goddamn.
