    SC has two conference losses, if they can beat Oregon they should be in drivers seat for #2 spot and another shot at UW. TSIO as far as playoffs for them but there is still a conference championship and alot of foosball left.

    I just don't see USC beating Oregon on the road. The offenses are comparable but USC's D isn't very good and they've lost 3 of their last 4. Junior Seau and Ronnie Lott ain't coming through the door anytime soon.
    Oregon might win something like 77-49. The best thing to come out of that game for UW will be that Irving and James are going to rack up some mileage on their legs.
    The only chance USC has (besides Lanning screwing things up and some lucky bounces) is doing whatever they can to stop the run. It seemed like their secondary is pretty talented but had communication issues so if they can shore that up with a change in coaching, they might rise to the occasion.

    I don't know if that means running a true 3-3-5 or even a 3-4 at times but their light front is a disaster.
    Depending on their depth, USC should run a 5-2-4. I don't think USC prepared for the run against UW, which is why it gashed them so badly. For Oregon, they should be expecting it and preparing their DL

    On the GIF rewatch, I was shocked how many times there was no one for our° to block.

    It won’t matter. Oregon in a boat race.

    I tend to agree. Specific schemes aside, if your defense sucks and is going to give up many touchdown drives and you have a really good offense of your own, then just be aggressive and try and make something happen. Just need a couple of plays to go your way to have a chance as we saw last weekend. Don't be scared about giving up big plays and instead just get gashed 8 play drives that end with the same result.
    I don't think they have the talent and depth to consistently run with 5 DL.

    They can't change their roster at their point and it feels like rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic.

    I was talking more general aggressiveness. A couple of key sacks and maybe a fumble or a pick could be enough here. Sitting back with three lineman and 8 cover guys is just gonna get the slowly carved up all game. Go down swinging on d, they are scoring 40 regardless.

    UW D made two plays on SC and that was the difference.

    Only way SC can win is to create as many turns (possessions) as possible and try to outscore the Ducks, so I'd also go boom/bust with blitzes, stack los, etc and try to get a turnover, sack, holding penalty etc.

    If they allow UO to control top they will lose fugly

    Wish Seattle reporters had fucking standards like the USC reporters.

    I wish I could do a whole podcast on how big of cowards they are
    If only you were a member of a Husky Football podcast that could do an episode on it.
