Best answer of Pac-12 Media Day goes to Utah DE Bradlee Anae. Asked about what it's like to play BYU in Provo:
"There's nothing worse than playing in front of 60,000 sober white people."

Lincoln Riley retaining Alex Grinch after the 2022 season is going to go down as the worst coaching personnel decision in

And this is after USC hired and then retained Clay Helton after the 2018/2019/2020 seasons.

I'm not one for midseason firings, but the Utah game was a fireable offense. The Cal game was a fireable offense. What Washington did to USC was a fireable offense. Lincoln Riley is actively eroding the faith of his fanbase every minute that Alex Grinch remains on staff.

USC’s first ever All-American was Brice Union Taylor in 1925, a full 46 years before Georgia played a season with a black player on their roster.

We probably need to spend more time talking about how Austin Jones was basically in the doghouse behind Travis Dye before the injury. For him to take over and act like he was the No. 1 all along is incredible.

Next day thoughts:
- Miller Moss has the poise to take USC places
- D’Anton Lynn is a miracle worker (or somehow Alex Grimch was even worse than we thought)
- USC’s WR corps and Moss’s trust in them from top to bottom is going to be a problem for opposition all year

Caleb Williams isn't finished. You can just see it in him, he wants so much more than the Heisman. He wants a title...and another Heisman.

's defense is so bad, they basically need Caleb Williams to be perfect in every game. He hasn't been and it's not fair to him to expect that anyways.
It's just really demoralizing going into halftime down seven with UW getting the ball and feeling like it's probably over.

Not so gentle reminder that Johnny Manziel openly admits to accepting illegal benefits and is welcomed on the Heisman stage every year.
Reggie Bush is not.

Johnny Manziel documentary… so ‘his family is crazy rich’ was just a lie to cover up him making under the table money? 😂
How terrible was media in 2012 - no one fact-checked ANYTHING about Manziel or Manti Te’o? Dudes went 1-2 in the Heisman.
Ridiculous.

The funniest part of the

QB drama is people acting like Miller Moss is some scrub, not the Top 100 recruit he was.
Trojans either get a really good QB via the portal or turn to a guy compared to Drew Brees coming out of high school.
There are worse positions to be in.

This was an extremely winnable game. Washington's defense got ripped apart by USC but they at least made it hard at times.

Lincoln Riley is an incredible OC but he's falling into the same trap we've seen time and time again with the best USC OCs. He REFUSES to just run the ball until the other team proves they can stop it.

It comes down to this:

2. The defense gave up 3 big plays. Take any of the three away and USC wins the game.

USC didn't have a single player make the Pac-12 All-Academic first or second team. And only Arizona had less honorable mentions.
If you're going to be 5-7, at least have players succeeding in the classroom...

I understood

giving Helton another chance in 2018 (even if I disagreed). But doing it again this year with another swath of staff changes is just comical.
Only delays the inevitable. Anyone watching the playoffs can see just how far away the Trojans are under this regime.

USC fans remember the Pac-12 dancing on their grave during sanctions, Larry Scott's lack of any support, plus constant reminders of how much more money all the other major powers were making in other conferences by comparison.
Something interesting: I haven't seen one USC fan upset about the move to Big Ten. I've seen lots of UCLA fans very concerned. It shows USC fans are focused on football. UCLA fans care more about basketball and other sports.
