[@Privateers1-g1q]

Not really surprised that Pregnon was the only OL strong enough to play with Michigan but deeply disappointed with Jonah and Mason because they’re both veterans who said that their goal was to get stronger in the offseason. I could understand why Paige and Tobias aren’t there yet but hopefully this is a learning opportunity for them

[@TheTrojanBlade]

Agree with everything you said

[@ScumLxrd1993]

I disagree, I feel like Tobias definitely showed that he belonged out there as a starter. Going forward the starters should be LT-Paige LG-Pregnon C-Monheim RG-Murphy RT-Raymond. Alani is not there yet and should still be a rotational guy at best for the 2024 season.

[@Privateers1-g1q]

@@ScumLxrd1993 that actually makes more sense to move Murphy inside and keep Tobias in the lineup. Maybe that would light a fire under Alani Noa who’s been playing like he’s half asleep so far this season

[@fredtheveteran4623]

We are proud of our team! We just have a ton of things to fix! Still dropping passes, still giving up too many big plays, O-Line has work to do, and our play calling must get better. Can we please throw the ball to the big "Duce Duce"

[@fivefour5514]

Great and fair analysis of the game Gabe. Always look forward to your new videos.

[@TheTrojanBlade]

Much appreciated! ✌🏻

[@lawrencesmith9059]

Agree 100% with you on this analysis, Miller is NOT the problem. And yes, I agree 100% that we must stretch the defense before we can run the ball. I keep hearing so many fans say that we need to run the ball, but that simply is not working without the passing game. I am questioning all of the coaching on the offensive side of the ball. Henson has not developed a solid o-line, Simmons has not developed all the talented receivers and they are not being used for their unique talents (why have Branch in when you need a possession receiver who can fight for the ball?). You mentioned that Duce needs to be more involved, well so does Jakobi. Easton actually was right there and unblocked for two of the three long runs and on the third long run, Easton was unblocked, but maybe a little out of position to make a play. He seems to have the same feet of glue or hesitation that I saw with Mason last year. The defense has made adjustments at halftime to really clamp down, why is this not happening earlier? I think this is more about Riley not allowing D'Anton to come out with a higher risk strategy early in the game (such as committing to stopping the run game vs Michigan or giving too much cushion in the pass game vs LSU) One more point I would make is that this is 100% about Riley playing from fear, trying to not lose the game, instead of inspiring his team and trusting them to win the game. The coaching on the defensive side is so much better, I hope Lincoln is willing to look in the mirror and realize that the offensive coaching staff needs the same scrutiny as the defensive staff got last year.

[@5555emerson]

Riley needs to call the offense with the same attitude & precision in which Lynn does with our defense. A high level of belief & conviction in our play calls is a must.

[@mavrick6088]

I will say. I'm a born and raised Michigan fan but SC has been my second favorite team to watch going back to when I started 6th grade and my elementary middle and highschool were all the same district and I played football from my 6th through 12th grades. We were or are the Trojans and so that got me as a child watching usc. Plus the colors and helmets are amazing so yeah I just really love SC as long as it's not vs Michigan. I happen to think sc will learn and grow from this game. The have been battle tested and wind face anyone as physical as Michigan so the fact they held their own despite a lot going against them I believe shows a ton of grit and character. I believe SC will make the playoffs if they can just get that Oline tightened up a bit

[@chriswicecarver3715]

I'm a Michigan fan. Good game. Actually, very fun. Competitive. To address the referee thing...I am going to admit that (on replay) there were a couple facemasks and other calls that should have gone against us. But I will also say that what we (as fans) have is replay and slow-motion. None (or at least most) of these were in live gameplay at full speed with all of the other things you have to look at. In other words, if you had a referee and told him "the only thing I want you to do is watch #55 on defense against the Guard/Tackle on USC"...and then slow the play down a bit...if you do that, then 90% of those calls would (or should) have been made. But when you have a referee looking at 6--10 different people, all in motion, all at full-speed...on a facemask that was there for 1.5 seconds...I think an objective person could concede where it was missed. Problem is, we're all fans and there is no objectivity here. We've had that go against us in games against ohio and others and I can empathize with the outrage from your side.

[@williamcaseywells604]

I certainly don’t love this take. But I recognize that you’re giving it your best effort to be diplomatic and I respect you for it.

[@RickyTubes]

Calls get missed all the time the problem is that a lot of those calls were literally right in front of a ref. The horse collar tackle and blindside were right in front of refs and didn’t get called. I could understand the face mask can get missed when miller ducks and the ref is on the opposite side

[@trekranger]

Our weakness is at both tackles. Hopefully we really learn from this.

All I ever ask is progress. If that game isn't progress, progress doesn't exist. Michigan would've scored 60 points on a Grinch defense. We were out sized on the line, period. That will come with recruiting and player development. We suffered sucky recruiting for the last ten years before LR and he made up for that using NIL and the Transfer Portal. It just takes time. Not a National Title contender yet, but definitely top ten. We could go the rest of the year without a loss, and that is a definite possibility.

[@beckmanchilds756]

we were really rock bottom for many years. I feel the same positivity. WE HAVE A TEAM AND GREAT COACHING STAFF

[@VersionBest]

Yeah the sanctions ruined USC. Most if not all the good players that used to want to play for USC prior to the sanctions, are now playing for Oregon and other schools. Mason Graham is from Anaheim California, but he chose to play for Michigan. Imagine had the sanctions not happened, USC could have had all those players. I trust in the process. Our time will come. Before it's said and done, Lincoln Riley will bring at least one national championship to USC.

The childish hatred towards bear is getting out of control now on this channel.

[@trekranger]

It was one of those games where one play here or there could of changed the game. Defense bad in the first half but played great in the second half other than that big run by Michigan

[@eujr4SC]

Literally any one of those long runs stopped or Branch not stepping back 2-3 yards and instead jumping into the ball instead of letting a pick 6 happen, or holding on 4th and goal were the difference makers. Way different from past years where any of 100 plays could be bad you didn’t really know what needed to be fixed. I’d take a loss like this than losing 52-42 to Washington.

[@sikhlion5325]

Lincoln told Caleb to stick to the BASICS, resulting in 378 yards passing. LR should stick to the BASICS ALSO, such as good blocking & tackling (Head Coach has to hold his Coaches ACCOUNTABLE/ Henson). Deep down I feel the Coaching Staff will succeed. Only disappointed that the EXTRA WEEK did not translate into doing the basics well. 3 bad defensive snaps undid massive defensive effort, especially "tackles for loss", great job guys. Oh yeah; As Gabe said use those tall strong receivers more. They'll reward you. Lets go Trojans.

[@wishihadavette2392]

I wish more of our players were fans. Players that show true grit like Miller would want nothing but revenge for the sanction years and would act like it.

I'm a MIchigan fan and I will 100% admit that Michigan benefited from refs that let play go on both sides. That type of refereeing absolutely favors Michigan. Though you have to admit that those facemasks were impossible to see in real time. This is exactly what people were talking about with USC needing some time to adjust to B10 football. It's a dogfight out there every week in the B10. There will be offensive holding on most plays if you slow it down and really watch. USC is going to have to accept that reality in order to win B10 championships. They certainly have the talent and coaching to do so.

[@ainsworthpools6539]

Great breakdown

[@jojowhite9296]

This was a very winnable game and USC blew it. Why Riley didn't run it that final series is beyond me. Zero threat of a pass and 90 yards w/o any timeouts? USC blew this game, and they blew it because they were scared of the Michigan myth.

Two weeks for the offensive genius to perfect a unique ground game. A creative way to team run block. Maybe out of 12 or even 13 personnel at times. I was expecting Branch involved in that run game in a non trick play! I was expecting an offense that could control the time of possession being patient with the run and 3 to 5 yard gains being what you are setting your identity as. Was I wrong in expecting this from the offensive guru? Hmmmmm

And who calls 2 idiotic pass plays when you have a 4 point lead and the ball with 4 minutes left? WHO? Expect 2-4 more losses. We stink. This is our 16th straight year of being COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.

Insanity... keep doing the same thing expecting different results

Miava should have been put in the game. It would have negated the rush and Miava could have run for 150yds. If Riley is an offensive genius he would have a package for Miava for games like this.

The problem is there was so much penetration from the Michigan interior guys, there weren’t any running lanes open. Even if we showed that look I don’t know if we could’ve had any success with it

[@chadwilcox6910]

[@anthonyhamilton7671]

It was clear to me that the Michigan defender purposefully rode Lemon into that blind side block (watch it again). It was a tag team blindside block that refs should get fired for missing. Not to mention the 2 missed face masks and missed horse collar. This is not even a matter of a lost game, but we are missing several players due to injury as a result of these egregious and dangerous plays. Miller, Lane, and Lemon were all tweaked/injured from those plays. Also, if you can’t “chop” block anymore, why do they let players “chop” tackle. That tackle on Lake was a shot directly to his knees and no where near a thigh shot. Big guys have to deal with this all the time. I saw a lot of dirty plays out there by Michigan.

[@princea5886]

The Lemon hit was the only dirty play. A low hit is legal. It's on the QB and the receiver to protect themselves from them. If you can't hit a guy high (Which is good. CTE is very real), then you have to be able to go low. It sucks to see a guy get hurt, but his QB hung him out to dry and the defender made the play. It's just part of the game. The facemasks were accidental and inconsequential to the plays. Yes, they were fouls, but there's no way the refs could have seen them. Those guys were already wrapped up and going down, and the tackler immediately let go of the facemask, which is why the refs didn't see it. The Lemon hit is indefensible. This is exactly what people were talking about with USC needing time to adjust to B10 play and officiating. It's a dogfight every week, and you're probably not going to get the same calls you got in the PAC12

[@TheForgottenMan270]

Just to be fair Michigan at least committed 3 face masks, 1 blindside tackle, 1 horse collar, and 4 holds. They should have been called for 13 to 14 penalties instead just the 3. Not saying that USC would have won, but those things do play a roll. What helped on the 3rd quarter was that Riley attcked that defense. He finally opened that pass offense and Michigan couldn't really stop it. Adjustments were made to do so, but in the 4th Riley did the exact same thing he's always done, run it like a bumbling idiot. All he had to do was keep that killer instinct and take that game, but instead he made aweful play calls that allowed the Michigan defense time to reset. Im tired of him making apologies for bad play calls when it's always his mindset that leads to those play calls. Sorry, but apology not accepted. Until he can pass the eye test and show the results of playing all 4 quarters to win the game, I don't believe things will simply get better. Pete Carroll would ask his players if they can win in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters and that players would yell no. Riley sure thinks he can. Winning the game means winning in the 4th quarter just as much as the other quarters. Our guys did really well. I'm proud with the lengths they've gone to be where they're at. Still plenty of room for improvement, but they are improving from game to game.

Spot on Gabe! You are the best. These Michigan homers continue to discount the shitty and egregious refereeing in the game. It’s ok, I like out chances this year much more than Michigan’s. Fight on!

[@TheTrojanBlade]

Thank you so much Tony! Fight On my friend ✌🏻

[@jamietwigg5152]

University of Spoiled Children fits. Refs were bad for both sides.

[@princea5886]

Welcome to the B10. What you see as horrible officiating is called B10 football. There will be holding on every play. It won't get called. You're going to have to adjust.

[@Jaime-u5m]

With demanded raises come higher expectations and greater scrutiny. Papa Bear and baby Bear that's how reality works. Terrible decision brother Jones, we failed our youth Black man/brother. Damn!

[@bigblak8941]

You forgot to talk about how Bad #1 choked that game!!! As a special team player & Wr!++ drops. Not coming back to compete against passes etc. HE LAYED IT DOWN!! NEVER SEEN HIM THAT SCARED!!! HMMMMM GOTTA FIND HIM SOME HEART!!!!

[@TheTrojanBlade]

I think you’re forgetting some of the great plays he made as a wideout. Return game has to improve but he was a net positive in the game IMO

[@mavrick6088]

Dude why do you care what people say in your comments? It's great for your channel either way

[@HUbbaBubba-s6y]

If Bear can't play defense - move him to offensive guard.

[@Talkinsports91]

Bruh this ain't a video game.

[@aidanvazquez1688]

Am I the only one that’s upset with the Michigan fans in the stadium for starting a let’s go blue chant while one of our players was down near the end of the game ?

[@mozizsupposes]

LINCOLN HAD TWO WEEKS TO PREPARE!

[@hanko8357]

Gave how did Tobias do at right tackle in the second half?

[@TheTrojanBlade]

Some good, some bad. There’s a good player in there

[@hanko8357]

@@TheTrojanBlade thanks…. I didn’t see any huge misses but I haven’t rewatched the game either. I don’t really want to right now. Lol

[@donniereiter3646]

USC should fire their Offensive lineman coach because they were trash

[@ReysBoomBoomRoom11]

Bro love the channel but your Bear takes starting to feel like a vendetta, considering you said he got blown 5 yard down field when Bear was only moved 2 yards, the line of scrimmage was the 20, he's at the 22 and about to shed #71 and throw him to the ground. AND it was a double team #71 and #17 both 6'6 330lbs and 250lbs respectively, almost 600lbs of human beings blocked him. We appreciate your channel and critiques but to be honest it comes off as a personal dig instead of analysis after a while. FightOn ✌🏾 Beat Wisconsin

[@fredosantana6827]

What do you think about J. Lane?

[@mavrick6088]

All the Trojan fans are talking about the officials and that's fine but I challenge them to rewatch the game in detail like your a Michigan fan and tell me how many penalties could have been called on sc . Especially line holding. Just saying it's the eye of the beholder. Calls could and probably should have gone both ways but than the game would have just been dumb with all the laundry

[@ChristopherBishop-w1b]

Yeah I guess you guys are used to putting players in the hospital with cheap shots and acting like it’s normal. Just have the offensive line bear hug everyone because you won’t be getting called. I watched it all day and it was despicable. And USC still should have won with nothing at all being called against Michigan.

[@JoseRivera-wk4eg]

...Yeah, lets us not ... entirely blame that L on the (gambling) refs....

[@chrislandry9051]

Somewhat disappointed because SC should have "totally" keyed on Michigan's run game. Should have stopped the run better, Michigan can't pass the rock. 🏈
