Christ!
Trying to be objective without using excuses:
1. Wa St fifth straight home game
2. Wa St at home
3. Multiple injuries for USC the past few months....... both starting OL tackles during or just prior to the game which provided little time to ready replacements or adjust game plan.
4. Three physical teams in a row prior to this game
5. Second travel game in a row for USC
6. Six days rest after a tough game
7. Refs were less than balanced
8. Wa St was rated #16 and could be under rated. Their Offense is good.
9. Late night game on Friday in a place very few SC fans visited due to lack of other interests. What??????
Did our play calling suck....yes......Does Darnold need another year.....probably......are our receivers good.......not yet.......is the team still young due to sanctions.......yes......is USC a dominant team and similar to teams fielded by CPC that was shocked by Wa St.......no........we are an above average team given everything else is balanced that was beaten by all the factors above.
Bottom line.....this team was just tired and beaten up. No surprise. Lets go home and win next week.
There is no excuse to losing to wazzu
Always.

Cal, still with an Air Raid roster, is a "physical" team?
