3 minutes left, 2 possession lead, with the ball, opponent has 0 timeouts and fails two on-sides kick attempts & STILL comes out with the W... I was surprised. I thought it was mathematically impossible.
I just thought for whatever reason ASU wouldn't execute.3 minutes left, 2 possession lead, with the ball, opponent has 0 timeouts and fails two on-sides kick attempts & STILL comes out with the W... I was surprised. I thought it was mathematically impossible.
I'm surprised you were surprised. Sark is a magician in situations like this.

ASU had to let them score. That was the only way.

There are many times when it is acceptable, even encouraged, to let someone else score, like playing basketball with your younger brother or sister. Letting your opponent score in the NCAA almost never happens. If anything, losing teams complain about their opponents running up the score during a game that had already been decided. The argument for the winners in that scenario: stop us, if you can. It’s hard to prevent another team from scoring, but almost no one ever simply allows the other team to score.

If Buck Allen falls down after getting the first down, USC wins.

Time to fire up the USC Troojan bored Derek....
Open them gates wide for our fellow Sarkisian sufferers....
Truthfully, I just want to be right for Thanksgiving and Christmas with my brother in law (USC starting fullback during the PC and Reggie Bush glory years, played 6 years in the show and thinks Sark is great because he turned John David Booty into something competent). The Troojan bored would have all the screen shots I'll ever need....

[Everyone relax!] 5 reasons Sarkisian will right this ship
Fellow alumni, fans, and supporters of Trojan football...losses like tonight in the first year of a new coach are an extremely painful, but arguably necessary evil as he tries to establish his culture and get the boys to buy into the system. Nick Saban lost to Louisiana-Monroe in Year 1 -- would you have fired him then? Of course not.
1. Justin Wilcox -- He is the best DC in the Pac-12. Enough said on that. He turned UW from the 110th defense to 20th in just 1 year. Do you really think he suddenly forgot how to coach? He now has many years under his belt and will do everything possible to help our guys win games.
2. Offensive Line- They average a weight of 332 lbs across the line. They are young but have shown glimpses at how potentially they'll be ready to dominate the line of scrimmage. Tuerk, Mama, Banner, Lobendahn, Wheeler Ossai etc. These boys have the attitude and are ready to rumble.
3. Sarkisian- New high-tempo offensive scheme and new attitude. Every player has spoken about the difference between Sark and Coach O. We will see a much improved offense as we progress.
4. Depth, Depth, Depth- This is the shallowest USC team in a long time. The newbies will be inexperienced but will eventually bring something we haven't had in the past seasons, experience and depth with Sark's great recruiting.
5. Time of possession- I think USC can dominate the time of possession stat as we continue to buy in to Sark's offense. The more we can shorten the game and keep our defense off the field, the better chance we have to win the conference moving forward.
I think we turn this adrift ship rather easily, say in three years tops?

Someone should poast this on the SC bored as real and see what their genuine reaction is.
