Far from the worst loss USC has taken under Riley, but it’s the most embarrassed they should be. Absolute malicious, dogshit culture after knocking Moore out of the game.

If Desmen Stephens is still with the team next week after that targeting pimp job, Lincoln Riley shouldn’t be

Lincoln Riley shouldn't be a head coach regardless. It's been so obvious for years he's a snake oil salesman who just cares about scoring points and not about winning games.

When you have defenses that are consistently this bad despite the level of athletes and talent that they recruit, it just means that it's completely intentional.

The bad defense aspect honestly adds another layer to the whole situation with the hit

It's like his team culture values throwing cheap shots than actually playing defense lol

I mean, it's literally that. Their defense gave up like 20 yards and celebrated the play.

Not necessarily cheap shots but when he was at OU one of the most frustrating things to watch was how often we'd have guys go for these huge hits and just completely whiff instead of actually trying to bring guys down

I have yelled "Stop Diving" at my TV many times. They just through themselves around hoping for a tackle.
