http://wearesc.com/forum/index.php?threads/fire-tee.46453/Christ!Trying to be objective without using excuses:1. Wa St fifth straight home game2. Wa St at home 3. Multiple injuries for USC the past few months....... both starting OL tackles during or just prior to the game which provided little time to ready replacements or adjust game plan. 4. Three physical teams in a row prior to this game5. Second travel game in a row for USC6. Six days rest after a tough game7. Refs were less than balanced8. Wa St was rated #16 and could be under rated. Their Offense is good. 9. Late night game on Friday in a place very few SC fans visited due to lack of other interests. What??????Did our play calling suck....yes......Does Darnold need another year.....probably......are our receivers good.......not yet.......is the team still young due to sanctions.......yes......is USC a dominant team and similar to teams fielded by CPC that was shocked by Wa St.......no........we are an above average team given everything else is balanced that was beaten by all the factors above. Bottom line.....this team was just tired and beaten up. No surprise. Lets go home and win next week.
There is no excuse to losing to wazzu Always.

Cal, still with an Air Raid roster, is a "physical" team?
The whole team was discombobulated. Not a good night. I hardly recognized USC's lineup by the 4th quarter - and yet, we still had a chance!Da fuq?
