USC is favoured by 4
• Just a note, our QB’s seem to have a lot of difficulty completing screens……it’s very frustrating for a coach
• Woodall fumbles again…he recovers it, but i'm getting scared to run the ball with this guy
• The drive keeps going, and Zach Woodall runs it in from the 1….7-0
• USC stalls in the redzone, and settles for a field goal…7-3
• USC is running at will on me….we cant slow down the run at all
• They run for 80+ yards in the quarter
2nd Quarter
• Penalties force USC to move from 1st and goal at the 6, to 4th and goal from the 23…they hit the field goal….7-6
• Our offense stalls again…haven’t done anything sense the 1st drive
• Suhey throws an interception to the DT!!!!....he’s completed 3 of 13 passes
• Our D seems to be bending today, but it hasn’t been broken yet
