Here’s an interesting trend for USC this season: Look at the quarterbacks the Trojans faced.
Jon Wassink (Western Michigan): First career start
Keller Chryst (Stanford): Regular starter
Sam Ehlinger (Texas): Second career start
Ross Bowers (California): Fourth career start
Luke Falk (Washington State): Regular starter
Darrell Garretson (Oregon State): Second start of season
Troy Williams (Utah): Demoted starter
W-L record of teams USC has faced is 20-13. W-L record of teams Alabama has faced 16 -15
Wolf doesn’t look at positive USC stats
Bama scores less than the ruins vs TA&M.
Points per game, SC 35, opponents 23. Looks SC defense has kept opposing offenses in check
You would have to be actively looking for negative information to come up with this and then print it. Why?
Batteries died on his vibrator?
I know what I’ll get him for Xmas then.
He says he needs a larger size vibe.
I checked with Santa and he is insisting it will be a lump of coal and nothing else.
All the more reason for USC to upgrade its DB recruiting. We need more talent back there because USC has made some of these opposing QBs look pretty good.
All hail the Winning Ugly Bunch. 5-1 now, #13 in the country and gearing up to beat the Utes on Saturday. Fight On!
Scott didn’t happen to mention that the Texas qb just beat out the original starter last week did he? Shoo ger started last week vs K st.
We played Utah already?
I hope we won!
It was close, FBI has not released the score yet, they are still investigating.
Ha! [Such a lovely set up line, steveg —-but, given how things are, I’m not touching it with, as Dan Aykrod puts it in Ghostbusters, ” a 10 meter cattle prod”].
Okay, now apply that same logic to the SC OL in the 2nd quarter of the Washington ST. game… 3 true freshmen.
I suppose one could also point out how meaningless all this is when you see that Sam Darnold threw 3 TD’s in his second start and 5 in his fourth.
It was only two true freshmen, but point we’ll taken. It would’ve been different with a week to practice, but suddenly thrusting three new starters into a line is tough for any team to overcome. Not an excuse, just reality.
Was it two true and one red-shirt?
Yeah, Wolf doesn’t seem too get the difference between an excuse and an explanation.
I believe this is an appropriate time to ask.
To my Trojan family, could you suggest sites that offer meaningful statistics, insight, and opinions? I’ve reached the point where these posts by insider SW are no longer funny. Thank you in advance. Fight On!
Bleacher report, Reign of Troy, Orange County Register anywhere else
So these guys weren’t division 1 scholarship players?
Injuries happen??
Tonight on I hate USC Athletics, your host Scott Wolf will discuss credentials of the quarterbacks USC has faced so far.
But will ignore USC’s strength of schedule, which is 11th out of all 130 teams…
Look at the QB;’s Alabama faced for their first 3 National Titles
1. After knocking out Colt McCoy early (Gale Gilbert- Texas Freshman)
2. Jordan Jefferson – LSU Sophomore
3. Everett Golson – Notre Dame Freshman
None of these playing on Sundays………..
Also faced a Clemson team
Missing 6 starters in 2016 .. their titles are so BS especially that repeat vs freaking LSU
Kind of typical in college football. Never has USC gone up against all junior or senior QB through the entire schedule. Point is Wolf is pointless.
So what’s the point of this list??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Are we 0-6??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Gomer’s luck is running out
This blog is so weak.
That’s college football. What a stupid article. You are not going to face a Luke Falk every week.
