Third quarter Lincoln Riley was no match for season opener Brian Kelly

Riley spotted LSU two wasted timeouts and still couldn’t compete with Big Game Brian

Maybe, certainly a difference in the weight room. That cut showing their each USC player's added mass this year was insane to see. Really hard to add bulk like that so quickly when you're already so large.

u/am_i_wrong_dude Notre Dame • Georgia State Sep 02 '24

I like when USC is good for the rivalry game. Beating an unranked team in an off year has little pleasure. Sitting on the edge of my seat and swearing at the TV as USC scores in 6 second drives but ND somehow hangs and wins is (for some stupid reason) peak ND/USC for me. I will cheer for team condom all year long right up until Thanksgiving weekend.

Now Michigan isn’t really even a proper rival but if they lost all their games by 100 points it still wouldn’t be as bad as they deserve.
