You know what? Chicken butt.
The comp I always pine for in many ways…..USC at its peak under Pete Carroll. They never took their foot off
the gas. They wanted to throttle the shit out of everyone and played that way. They had an identity. It was fast. It was aggressive. It was cocky. It was fucking lethal. They didn’t seem obsessed with maintaining a 50/50 run pass split. They were just obsessed with scoring 70 whenever they wanted. Didn’t matter how it happened. Day is to heavy on analytics and way too light on swagger. And his teams follow that vibe.
USC just knew they were going to go
out there and kick your ass.
They knew it.
Like Mike Tyson knew it.
Carroll didn’t say “we know it’s going to be a close game that comes down to the last play.”. That’s what I like about Cignetti. He has some Carroll in him.
The both fully expect to dominate. And most importantly both of their teams embody
their coaches attitudes.
It’s an attitude that Day just doesn’t convey to his teams. We have the players. We just don’t have that attitude. We are miles from having it.
I’d argue the Will Howard and that squad forged that attitude themselves and drug Day with them. They just didn’t give a shit at that point and played loose and aggressive and Day followed suit. Not the other way around. That was a player lead identitiy.

I know. Just saying we do have the heritage.
3 yards and a cloud of dust....
I agree we should play to our strengths, and never say its going to be a quarter game. Just blow everyone the fuck out.
Just need Sayin to start being a gamer and a NC isn't out of the question.

I implore you to go look at the game summaries of USC outside of their 34-game winning streak. You are romanticizing them wayyyyyy too much
