Speaker 1: reaction on a thrilling Penn State thirty three point thirty
Speaker 1: win over USC and the Coliseum on a beautiful, beautiful
Speaker 1: day in Los Angeles. College Football Reactions presented by j

Speaker 1: Blue Box. We were at COSM. The volume staff and
Speaker 1: myself were a Cosm LA Dallas. These are just incredible
Speaker 1: places to watch games. So we had a lot of
Speaker 1: fun today and I want to thank the people. COOSM
Speaker 1: dot com get your tickets. An incredible place to watch
Speaker 1: college football. My favorite environment I've ever been outside of
Speaker 1: going to the Rose Bowl or stadiums. So first of all,
Speaker 1: let's tuck Penn State. So seventeen catches for tight end
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren tied for the most ever for a tight
Speaker 1: end in college football. Tremendous day. And you know, Drew Aller,
Speaker 1: you know there's something there. He basically targeted one guy.
Speaker 1: But that's okay. I mean, if you've got a great mismatch,
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. But they had twenty four second
Speaker 1: half points, they had five hundred and eighteen yards dominant
Speaker 1: first down advantage over USC. And I think it's very
Speaker 1: hard to ask a team of college kids to travel
Speaker 1: three thousand miles plus and win a football game. Many
Speaker 1: of them had probably never been to the state of California.
Speaker 1: So I think at any time you go on the
Speaker 1: road and you beat talented players, it matters. I mean,
Speaker 1: USC couldn't beat Minnesota last week. Penn State deserves a
Speaker 1: lot of credit for that. That that's and they were
Speaker 1: down and in the fourth quarter it looked like, you know,
Speaker 1: there were a couple of times you're like they're down
Speaker 1: and out. They fought back. James Franklin, Drew Aller, Ty Warren.
Speaker 1: Really nice win for Penn State. A very good football
Speaker 1: team and a team that has a has a shot
Speaker 1: to get into the playoff. And I think, you know,
Speaker 1: they've got some elite players on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: And again, Drew Aller by College Comps, a very steady quarterback.
Speaker 1: So I think Penn States are a really good football team,
Speaker 1: not great. I don't think they're going to be Texas
Speaker 1: or Ohio State or Georgia. But I mean, we've seen
Speaker 1: how vulnerable Alabama is defensively you know, it's a good
Speaker 1: football team, and that's a really nice win. Traveling cross
Speaker 1: country in terms of USC, you know they're there. You know,
Speaker 1: I have conversations all the time in Los Angeles about USC,
Speaker 1: and you know, I think some of you, you know,
Speaker 1: think I'm I. You know, I literally don't sleep. I
Speaker 1: toss and turn when USC loses. But you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of this is it's fun. I love college football,
Speaker 1: it's theater. I thought the team would be better, but
Speaker 1: my concern about USC coming into the season was they've
Speaker 1: got two seniors in the offense, a center and a
Speaker 1: running back, Woody Marx and increasingly Monheim. The center and
Speaker 1: Woody Marx looked like the entire offense on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1: Wood He's today is a great example. He had twenty
Speaker 1: carries for five and a half yards carry. No other
Speaker 1: running back had more than three carries, and Miller Moss
Speaker 1: is not mobile. If they were going to run the football,
Speaker 1: there was one person and if you watch the game,
Speaker 1: he's just significantly better than the other young running backs
Speaker 1: on USC's roster. But there's no excuses. They were outplayed
Speaker 1: in the second half. And I think one of the
Speaker 1: things that's very clear about Lincoln Riley. So I think
Speaker 1: counted just off two minutes ago before I started this.
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley is six and seven in his last thirteen
Speaker 1: games and has beaten the bad teams. And LSU is
Speaker 1: a nice w but they've mostly lost to the better teams,
Speaker 1: the Penn States, you know, Notre Dames, Oregon's, they've lost
Speaker 1: to those teams. And you know, beating Louisville and Utah
Speaker 1: State is just those are gimmes. Those are layups. They're
Speaker 1: not winning the slam dunks. They're not winning above the
Speaker 1: iron very often. And I think you have to be
Speaker 1: honest about Miller Moss. He is a pocket quarterback, and
Speaker 1: whether it's college or pro football, there is a huge advantage.
Speaker 1: You get another third of the playbook when you have
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can move. And that was Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: and that was Kyler Murray. Those are quarterbacks. Spencer Rattler
Speaker 1: for Lincoln in Oklahoma can move a little bit. Miller
Speaker 1: Moss is he's Jared Goff, but not that good of
Speaker 1: a pocket passer, so there's limitations on what he can do.
Speaker 1: They can't move the pocket, and so I don't think
Speaker 1: this is a perfect quarterback. I think he's a really
Speaker 1: good college quarterback. Not great, but he's a good college quarterback.
Speaker 1: But when you have a young offensive line, a one
Speaker 1: dimensional run game with one player what he marks, and
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can't move, and there's about thirty five
Speaker 1: forty percent of the playbook that you couldn't use if
Speaker 1: you had somebody that was able to, you know, off script,
Speaker 1: make plays happen. So it's a pretty predictable offense with
Speaker 1: their best players on the perimeter, Adduce, Robinson, Hudson, branch Lemon.
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are all more than capable. They
Speaker 1: all feel like twos instead of ones, but they're all capable,
Speaker 1: different body types. But it's a very limited offense that
Speaker 1: is incredibly young on the offensive line. But this is
Speaker 1: really my big and I said this last week. USC
Speaker 1: has two playable offensive tackles in the program, and that's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I mean, dating back to the early seventies, I mean
Speaker 1: there was a time USC was the home of the
Speaker 1: best left tackles in college football. Tony Busselli, Anthony Munnos.
Speaker 1: They really struggle to recruit the interior defensive line, and
Speaker 1: USC really struggles to land elite tackles. Michigan gets some,
Speaker 1: Ohio State gets some. You know, LSU get some, Texas gets,
Speaker 1: Oklahoma get some. USC doesn't, and Lincoln Riley's an offensive coach.
Speaker 1: They just do not recruit elite offensive tackles on a
Speaker 1: regular basis. They settle for guys that other programs have
Speaker 1: moved off of. They arm wrestle away an occasional tackle
Speaker 1: from a Wisconsin They're not beaten out. They're not beaten
Speaker 1: out Ohio State for those tackles, or Michigan for those tackles.
Speaker 1: They pried away Elijah Page from Notre Dame. He'll be
Speaker 1: good eventually. He's not there yet. He's a red shirt freshman.
Speaker 1: But that's a failing of this program. They have not
Speaker 1: recruited the two positions that are so valuable in college
Speaker 1: football and in the NFL. Left tackles, an interior, great
Speaker 1: defensive linemen. They don't have them. Three years in. They
Speaker 1: don't have any, not one, and you're not going to
Speaker 1: beat the top six or seven programs in the country
Speaker 1: when you're at B or C level. At those positions,
Speaker 1: you can have an egg at tight end. You don't
Speaker 1: have to have a superstar running back or great safeties,
Speaker 1: better be good at quarterback, left tackle, defensive interior alignment
Speaker 1: and corner and a weapon or too weapons. I don't
Speaker 1: worry about USC, so you know, I think last thirteen games,
Speaker 1: this is basically a five hundred team and struggling with
Speaker 1: teams that are physical. I do think offensively, next year
Speaker 1: they'll be better. I also think last year's recruiting class
Speaker 1: they did land a couple of nice defensive linemen. It's
Speaker 1: it's called the transfer portal, and USC's got about thirteen
Speaker 1: million dollars a year in NIL money. But that's going
Speaker 1: to vanish very quickly if they don't start winning games.
Speaker 1: LA is a big distracted market. People do not follow losers.
Speaker 1: They don't. This is not Norman, Oklahoma. It's not the
Speaker 1: only game in town. I mean the Dodgers or in
Speaker 1: the National League Championship Series. You've got Rams and Chargers.
Speaker 1: You've got the Lakers and the Clippers. Clippers have a
Speaker 1: new arena, there's thirty one music venues, the Beats the Mountains.
Speaker 1: Vegas is nearby. People aren't going to sit around here.
Speaker 1: You go to a lot of these small college towns
Speaker 1: they have a college football program. People will go on
Speaker 1: a Friday night to you know, the college baseball game,
Speaker 1: and you know that's the biggest thing in town. This
Speaker 1: is not la money crowd doesn't support losers, and right
Speaker 1: now this is just an average program. I do think
Speaker 1: offensively their future is brighter than defensively, but you know,
Speaker 1: I can't. I thought they would be a better football
Speaker 1: team than this, and I thought after the LSU win,
Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, they're a good program. Now they're not
Speaker 1: a national championship team, but they could sneak into the
Speaker 1: playoff tenth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelve seed. Nah, they're going
Speaker 1: to finish middle of the pack in the Big Ten.
Speaker 1: And they're very lucky. They're not play playing Oregon this
Speaker 1: year and they're not playing Ohio State this year. So
Speaker 1: us he got Notre Dame and Penn State at home,
Speaker 1: and Michigan in a rebuild, and they'll probably end up.
Speaker 1: Vegas was right six or seven win team, and that's
Speaker 1: not good enough. They've They've had plenty of time. I mean,
Speaker 1: it'd be one thing if you didn't have the transfer
Speaker 1: portal or nil you had to literally rebuild a program
Speaker 1: that Clay Hilton handed them was strictly high school players.
Speaker 1: You can go buy players now, and they just don't
Speaker 1: have enough good players. Kamari Ramsey's very good in the
Speaker 1: defensive side. Wood He marks at running back is exceptional.
Speaker 1: That's about it. That's your special players. Instant reaction. Congrats
Speaker 1: to Penn State thirty three to thirty. That's a really
Speaker 1: nice win for that program and good for young guys
Speaker 1: to go on the road trail in LA long way
Speaker 1: from home. A lot of you know, adversity in that game,
Speaker 1: came back and won in overtime and totally impressive. I've
Speaker 1: never I don't remember the last time I saw it.
Speaker 1: Night End that dominant in the game. But you know what,
Speaker 1: if he's got matchup advantages, go to him. I mean,
Speaker 1: USC was running Woody Marks, that's the only guy they
Speaker 1: were running. Penn State said, tight End, Throw to him.
Speaker 1: I get it. Thirty three to thirty Penn State. Way
Speaker 1: to go the volume. Thanks so much for listening. If
