OFFICIAL 2021-2022 COLLEGE FOOTBALL THREAD

The argument for that USC team being the greatest Pete had:




1. statistically they’re probably the best defense in college football history. They gave up 93 total points in the regular season. In their wins, they beat opponents by a margin of 429 to 66.

“Their 3.4 yards-per-play average is miles ahead of the field. To put this figure into perspective: The 1997 Michigan defense, the Charles Woodson group generally regarded as the most dominating defense of recent years, allowed 3.7 yards per play. And that predated the spread of the spread offense.”

They gave up 2 passing TDs in the Oregon State game on September 25. They didn’t give up another passing TD until November 15 against Stanford and that came against SC’s 3rd string and with 0:00 on the clock in what was a 30 point blowout at that point (revenge for the 2007 upset.) I think they gave up 4 passing TDs in the entire regular season. The 4th coming in the final game of the season, again in garbage time.

2. The media at the time in 2008 was literally calling USC the best team in the country, so it’s not like 08 was some random scrub squad:

3. And for the record while it was an embarrassing loss, that Oregon State team finished 9-4 and also beat #18 Pittsburgh. So **** off with “best at losing to Oregon state” when you were cheering for a TAm team that played in what bowl that year? tmay407 tmay407

But I get it. **** post away and hope MVP MVP or Bobby Layne Bobby Layne like it for validation.


That USC team was great. I would have liked their chances against Florida or Oklahoma that year. In the 8 years of the CFP, the three or four seed has won the title three times. Those are three teams that wouldn't have even had a shot under the old system.
 
Yep.

And the dude was absolute trash in the playoffs. Hate to break it to him but as an NFL QB you are the scapegoat when your team loses
 
I remember there being a weird triangle of tension between him Kyle Allen and Sumlin that resulted in both QBs leaving CS.
Expected to start - no questions asked. Caused all sorts of issues in the locker room because he's just a divisive dude. Say one thing to your face, then do the opposite behind your back kinda guy.

Just immature.
 
Jake ain’t go far enough with all that.

All of that was created by a hell of a lot of problems behind the scenes with the Murrays and Sumlin and the boosters.

Kevin and Kyler played the booster game like a couple of champs. Sumlin had no idea how to handle it and Kyle Allen just got stuck in the middle.

Sumlin had pressure from EVERY SIDE to play Kyler.
 
Bored off-season discussion topic:

Who do you think is the top QB in the 2023 class and who would you choose for your team if you could? Presented in order of composite ranking:







I see it with Arch, but I also feel like his competition always looks smaller and more inferior than his team's? And like he's the biggest player on the field (as seen when he's trucking tiny safeties and LBs.) I get DJ U vibes from him.

I haven't heard much about Dante Moore which is surprising because his highlight reel looks really good. I'm surprised he's not more hyped.
