We need some serious adjustments. I watch Texas, OSU, Clemson, Penn St, Alabama, and then us. We get pushed around more than any team. Our LB's and safeties get run over consistently.
What are these other programs doing that we aren't?
Strength and conditioning. Other teams have it, we don't.
No reason why USC can't field 5 strong capable DL. 5 strong capable LB's. 5 strong capable OL. 3 strong capable TE's.
i think its a two-factor problem. i remember Chris Carslisle once saying that he doesnt train his players to be professional bodybuilders-he trains them for the position. that doesnt seem to have been happening as of late. secondly, o-line coaching. ever notice (most of) our guys just bump/push opponents once, stand up, and look around confused? happens a lot. they need to be training in how to use their legs, gain leverage, and drill the opponent until the whistle stops.
They should put the replay of this game on repeat in the weight room until we play them next year.

Helton.
Lucky for him Darnold's not going to get Helton an extension before he leaves, so he'll probably be fired on the tarmac sometime next year.
New bored motto?
