    I appreciate the general feelings that HH's want the Beavs to win this game because Seven; it's not going to happen and here's why:

    - Mannion has not and cannot win a big game.

    - The game has progressed beyond Riley's capabilities. The downward trend is real and Riley can't compete at the top level of the Pac-12 with 2 star recruits and a pro-style offense. Forget "4 loss Riley" he's now "5+ loss Riley."

    - Depth has always been an issue at OSEwe ("lol"). The losses of Bolden and Semualo are huge for this game.

    - ?????????

    - Profit. (take the trojans and lay the points)

    And we saw it a year ago with Washington coming to the Coliseum and beating USC

    Jesus ... now he is delusional and trying to rewrite history.

    This, but to put it simply. USC's defensive line is going to gang rape OSU's O-line, making the OSU run game nonexistent. This will cripple play-action which Mannion is dependent on. I credit Boston College's big running performance to the typical big win road hangover Sark has every single season.

    I credit BC's big running performance with Sark's proven inability to make adjustments.

    Sark is not a game day coach. He was woefully unprepared for what BC laid on him. And because he is unprepared his coaching staff is unprepared.

    Riley won't beat him, but it won't be based on coaching ... it'll be pure talent, much like last year's beat down by Washington.

    Above average roster and a below average coach vs. a below average roster and an above average coach.
