Not having watched this on film(which I’m not sure I can bear) I think the biggest factor in this game was a vanilla playbook.
I don’t think we got last page 2. In years past we just kept them at arms length but they played fabulous amd it didn’t work this time around.
But I bet a lot of the issues are mitigated by a playbook that isn’t predicated on what we want on film for USC.
I’m actually still optimistic. A good team got by us in a tight one where they played perfect and threw the sink at us while we played for the film room. What does that tell you?
That said, I wish we coulda generated pressure with 4.
I wish we were cleaner with blitz pickup.(but really really think we coulda torched them with any creativity)
That was a bummer. I’m grumpy. I freaking wanted 10!
Usc took the L. Lets put the damn checkers board away, get the chess board out and Let’s go win the freaking south.
