USC remains a 43-point favorite over Idaho. But here’s a real question: How harder is it for the coaches to measure improvement when even plays that did not work against Arkansas State will probably be successful against the Vandals.
Inside USC with Scott Wolf
USC football, Trojans basketball and other sports news
Calling out a Cupcake is fair. But will you be bending over to praise USC on Notre Dame week if they’re a top 10 team. Scott: “Wow, USC is truly gutsy for scheduling Notre Dame every year. I must give them their due. Very few other teams in this country will schedule a non-conference opponent with their history and their greatness EVERY year like USC does.” Nah. Doubt it. But your image just made me hungry – so I guess it was good for something.
Exactly… love it! It’s just a given that SC plays a brutal schedule year in and year out. Which is why it’s shocking when Sun Belt teams pop op. Full credit to A&M for hiding under their lockers.
A & M opened against Arizona St (a top 25 team) and won 38 – 17.
Klown U opened against Ozark ABC & D winning 55 – 6.
Who indeed is hiding under their lockers?
Turns out it was A & M this time.
“USA Today. They have UNLV at 121 and Idaho 127. Arky St. is nineteen spots ahead of Virginia.”
You should wipe the that filling off your mouth before comment about others cupcake schedules.

How “harder” is it to write a sentence in english, when writing professionally for a newspaper? Please note that questions end in question marks. Weren’t you the one calling Matt Leinart lazy? Again, note the question mark.
USC’s non-conference schedule is weaker this year than in years past, but come on … Enough with the snarky posts about it.
I don’t see you going after anyone else — for example, Oregon (who will play Eastern Washington and Georgia State in non-conference), Alabama (who will play Middle Tennessee and U of Louisiana Monroe) or Ohio State (who will play Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and Hawaii).
Give it a rest, Comic Book Guy Wolf.
Not to mention the SEC schools.
does every one of your posts come with WHINE
You are to type, TROLL.
CowPolyFan3.0, how is your wife the REAL SC grad?
He appointed himself board monitor. Remember the old days when Garry Bleauz thought he was board monitor?
Best blog….ever.
I bet Scrub fainted when he saw that blog.
Hey, that’s Passenger 57 you’re talking to.
He says he’s out of prison now!
Every team with chance for final four sees this as the schedule model.Its become part play on field, part lobbying, and a whole lot of schedule.
Strong conference games, couple much lesser non conference, and a mid to strong ranked team…
Playing to the committee..
Look at Ohio State, they have Michigan st. And that’s it, Big Ten, is big Two.
How harder indeed.
I’ll try again. (Was deleted for saying W looked like the smiling cupcake) was harmless…Somebody not getting the pub, but getting team recognition is red shirt freshman Jalen Greene.. His play has been excellent. He’s getting better and better at receiver. Coach’s want him on field.He’s been playing like a born receiver. Talk is that next year with only two QBs back, and that he continues to prove he should play, to give him QB reps also.
I think we will hear his name a lot this year… We did last game.
POWER HUNGRY mods have banned people for less….
The good thing, USC is not here to make Scott wolf happy.. so cupcakes or not.. Worry about measuring improvements throughout the year. Its a long year..
Idaho has played Florida State and has Auburn and LSU on the future schedule so get off SC’s back about scheduling easier opponents.
Cupcakes….(chortle))
How many boxes did you eat? (chortle)
I think Wolf’s blog is actually quite fascinating and you’re all too hard on him! I mean, we get to see what happens when a guy who hates the USC program loses out to his buddy Wang on what he perceives to be the “plum” job of covering UCLA (apparently due to the fact that Wang proofreads and has a brain). Our daring adventurer then gets relegated to covering his arch nemesis as a last step toward unemployment! And so far, we’ve learned that, no matter how hard he tries, Wolf’s ability to suppress his bitterness is as limited as his writing ability. Oh, but some of us are rooting for you, oh protagonist Wolfie! Fight On and rise above your circumstances!!!
Wang, a brain?
Wang attempts to use highfalutin language then falls flat by incorporating terms he doesn’t even comprehend, making for awkward sentences.
*theBerzerkleyChipOnTheShoulderIsHeavy*
Wang appears to be a nerd pretending to like sports so he can hang out with the cool kids.
Why would a member of the Trojan Family like Scott Wolf hate USC? Perhaps as a graduate of USC he feels he has the right to criticize the hired help like Kffin and Cutty Sark.
You don’t measure improvement with cupcakes after the first quarter, because teams like that have no quality depth, but you can build your ego, and maybe pretend your something that your not . And of course , get your players some playing experience .
The only poll I’ve seen that rates all teams (1-128) is USA Today. They have UNLV at 121 and Idaho 127. Arky St. is nineteen spots ahead of Virginia. BYU is at 23 and ND is in their top ten for this week. I’m sure my fellow UCLA fans won’t give much credibility to this poll. Don’t miss Washington vs Sacramento State and Arizona State vs Cal Poly SLO this Saturday. Just readin.
No Wolf, the real question is why you’re obsessed with SC playing 2 soft non-conference games when everyone else in the nation does it too.
Because USC is suppose to be better than those other schools?
Opponents of Pac 12 & SEC teams this week include Utah State, Sacramento State, UMass, Nevada, UNLV, San Diego State, Cal Poly, Jacksonville State, Middle Tennessee, Toledo, Ball State, Arkansas State and East Carolina. But yes, clearly Idaho stands out.
Scottie, maybe you should mention your boy Chris Petersen at UW plays mighty Sacramento State this week. Will UW start out 0-2?
Klown U tomato can FB schedule rational:” Wool, we’re doing it, ’cause they’re doing it,” – what a clever excuse.
How does Klown U get away with charging 60K year for a UnIv. Edgumacation.
oooooooooooh, your so angry, your han-gry. Feel better now.
Wan, consider an ESL class.
He disposed of his Good Twin in Laurel Canyon.
In my world ESL stands for Excellent Super LaLALAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
On topic, I would guess coaches measure improvement by correct blocking assignments, correct pass routes. A play may still work even with missed assignments. The coaches will find plenty to critique.
I would think “Inside USC” would be a place where USC fans could chat about USC sports. BUT not really. The TROLLS have infested this place and don’t let any normal conversation happen between USC fans.
Ray, if that’s what you believe, why don’t you do something about it?
Like what? I’m open to suggestions.
wearesc is perfect for your kind. Go check it out.
Why are you HERE, TROLL?
Why are you in VEGAS, CowPolyFan3.0?
Ray, you’re a grown man. You should be able to figure something out instead of whining.
Yes, but this forum is so frustrating I lose myself.
Yes, like go to wearesc where brainless rah rahs can chat among themselves.
Were there plays that didn’t work against Arkansas St.? And USC beat the SEC Arkansas Razorbacks by 20 more than Akry St. when they played a few years ago in the coliseum. So What.
