Josh On USC
“Matt Ants won multiple national championships at North Dakota State before he made a brief stop at USC.”
“Oregon wins by four touchdowns and then Lincoln Riley's gone by Halloween?”
“If USC is bad enough to get drugged by four touchdowns at home, that's probably not the only game they're losing before Halloween.”
“I hope it happens in the playoffs, but it's not going to happen in the regular season.”
