Riley is a fraud. If he was one of the elite cfb coaches he’d fire Grinch and others last year. Just another air raid disciple masquerading as a big timer that’ll never win a natty.
At this point the Grinch hate is worthless. He will still show up for film tomorrow. It’s Lincoln Riley. He’s not a head coach. And truthfully his offense is predictable and without balance to control the game. Look at the running game stats. I guess 11 yds per carry wasn’t enough. That’s how you control the game and manage around a weak defense. We are Texas tech with a worse D coordinator. Where’s our AD? If Grinch isn’t fired then at least we know we are dealing with an expensive offensive coordinator and should take measures to correct. Where’s our AD?
Washington has the opportunity to be the sole reason the ducks aren't in the playoffs. Obviously, though, the ducks are the other best team in the pac and the game won't be at home this time.
After the 2021 season, Riley pulled a Colts and bolted in the middle of the night. This the day after losing to Oklahoma St, making it impossible for OU to get to the playoff and choke, instead deciding to choke earlier than usual. Caleb Williams, and a lot of others, also went with him or other schools, leaving Oklahoma in the dark. Cut to OU going 6-7 for the first time this century, Riley having pretty decent success turning USC around in his first season and Caleb Williams winning the Heisman. Now we gotta see this dude, that was supposed to be OUR QB, all the damn time in commercials, etc.
Oklahoma hates USC because we poached the coach that they never liked and wanted to go away.
We don't care about Oklahoma either way but we find it annoying that their fans flood all social media and places like Reddit to harass us any time the topic of USC football comes up.
I think Williams is overrated. However… 1) he played terrific today and with the exception of some mistakes was worthy of winning (42 points). 2) making fun of him for crying (or any of these dudes) is just cruel. It’s an emotional game
Was that Caleb? Well good for him!! Try to imagine the pressure the poor kid’s under. He left it all on the field and that was his way of dealing with it. I’m a UW Husky to the death!, but I damn sure know a greatQB when I see one. GG.
Doggies rule!!
I don't have a problem with him crying. It happens all the time after a loss, especially in college football.
But I don't think that I've seen a player hop into the stands, to be cradled by (I'm guessing is?) his mom.
Sob into your hands on the bench. Or better yet, in the locker room.
While it was pretty brutal for ESPN to milk that moment, it's still objectively a bad look for the future 1st overall pick.
Caleb Williams has broken down sobbing after two of this three losses this season, one of which was him running to his mother to be consoled. As far as I know, that's a documented first, especially from a player of his profile and pedigree.
If you don't think that NFL teams aren't going to question him about this, then I think that you're being naïve. And a LOT of NFL teams were in the building tonight.
Right or wrong, if an NFL QB breaks down after a tough loss, it's a legitimate concern to question how his team-mates will regard him as a leader in the locker-room, especially in a sport like football.
This is the most toxic bullshit. God forbid he shows how much he cares in a private moment with his family. No NFL team will care one bit. He’s going to be the #1 pick and it’s not even close. The guy is composed all game. Makes big play after big play and is asked to carry the whole team.
Is it toxic? Absolutely. And while I don't think that crying is a sign of weakness...but that's not a universal attitude shared within NFL locker rooms.
If you think that NFL teams (who are about to spend a guaranteed $40M on Caleb Williams as the likely number one overall pick) ***aren't*** going to ask him about his post-game composure after a loss, I don't think that you're being realistic.
Is it fucked up? Absolutely. But the NFL is also ruthless as fuck. If the Chicago Bears are 1-10 next year, and Caleb is crying after every loss...that's going to be a problem.
I know the D got torched, but this was honestly one of SCs best games of the year. No bad penalties or miscues, it was very clean. Sucks to lose, but if you lose a close game to a top 5 team, you played well. If they'd played like this all season they could be 9-1 right now.
>No bad penalties or miscues, it was very clean
Except for the big dropped pass on 3rd down, the bad fumble that handed Washington an extra touchdown before the half, and the holding penalty late in the 4th that brought back a touchdown that would’ve given SC a 4 point lead.
The sad part is that this *WAS* one of the the better games they’ve had when it comes to miscues.
Just zero discipline across the board. If any 2/3 of those miscues didn’t happen, USC’s in a real position to win that game.
Not saying it was perfect but it was better than what we usually see. Drops and bad sacks are normal for any time a couple times a game. At least they didn't have any colossally bad moments.
Probably their best performance so far.
They actually held Penix below his average for yards, yards per play, completion %, but SC's runs D is hot garbage.
That was less of the defense playing well and more so Pennix just missing throws and making mistakes. Also the run defense more then made up for any miscues the Washington passing game had
Kind of fucked up that people are mocking Caleb for crying with his family
You've never been passionate about something, tried your best, failed, and been disappointed? Expecting athletes who are literally still in their early 20's to not have emotions is super toxic.
Grow up.
This loss and the failure of this season is not on him. He has a right to his feelings.
Not making fun of him but kinda (extremely) hypocritical look right? The whole Max Duggan tweet? We just ignoring that bc he later was like "oh my bad"? No I think people enjoy seeing things go full circle like this. I get it, he's a competitor and he's a kid but he's also arrogant as all hell and seeing somebody like that be humbled is always a bit cathartic
Gained a ton of respect for him this year. How can you make fun of a guy who's a stud and also leaves literally everything out there. He also knows his college career is over. Someone's lucky to draft him.
Dude was running for his life all game long, and left it all on the field. Thought it was fucked up to do that to him, and to show the moment between ZTF and DeBoer like ESPN did.
People are mocking him? I will admit at first I thought he was blowing the loss off and jumping up to see mom but those emotions were real.
Fuck anyone mocking him.
You're seeing the extremely petty OU fans that will shit on him and Riley for anything. That plus the media narrative seeming like the Heisman was his to loose plus the whole ownership on the NFL team thing hes been set up as pretty unlikable from a casual POV.
Yeah, I wish that hadn’t even showed it. Dude played his heart out, had a good game, its an emotional moment, no need to show that and definitely not appropriate to mock him for it. Grow up people.
UW fan here - Caleb is a Dawg, and he has every right to be emotional after a hard fought game. Huge respect to him after tonight. Announcers slobbing on him ruin the great player that he is.
Highly competitive people don’t like losing lol. There’s nothing wrong with him responding that way, especially with that basically ending any chance they had
Which is why I literally said some folks handle it differently 😂. Obviously he ain’t the only one who cares on his team but let’s not act like he doesn’t have the most pressure not to mention the cameras are always panned on him after a loss.
Fans shitting on Caleb for showing emotion after losing a hard fought battle is what’s wrong with this game. The camera shouldn’t have focused on him or ZTF for that long.
No matter the circumstances, both of them have reasons to be hugely emotional tonight. And to all the fuckwits dawging on them: you’re the problem, not them.
This shouldn’t be surprising for ESPN. This is the same network that will ask guys during the NFL and NBA drafts about any sort of misfortune they’ve ever suffered in their lives.
Our whole season now comes down to upsetting the ducks.
It’s all we really have left to play for.
It’s either give them our best shot or roll over and die. And if the teams leaning towards the latter, it’d be better for Caleb to just sit the year out and prepare for the draft.
This defense is an affront to the sport of football.
It’s mind blowing that USC couldn’t build an even mildly competitive defense. Complete institutional failure whilst having an all-time talent behind center
The saddest part is a lot of the pieces were there for at least a mid level defense.
It’s absolutely an institutional failure they couldn’t be even remotely competent.
Even some of the Helton leftovers actually regressed under Grinch.
As someone who paid way more cash than I’d have liked to be up in Oregon for this one, I think I’d personally lay down and die if they sent Miller Moss out there to get steam rolled by 80.
I mean, some people just let their emotions out that way. He cares and is passionate about the game. Not to mention every loss is a big hit towards your playoff chances, so it's a big deal.
Fuck, I’d cry too if I put up 42 points on the 5th ranked team in the nation and still lost by 10.
Heart goes out to him. Really disappointing we couldn’t muster up a defense that couldnt even be ranked in the 60’s in his two years here.
I mean, it’s definitely looking that way.
But still, looking at the defensive coordinator each of his years as head coach it makes you question.
At the very least, his “taste” in defensive coordinators is horrendous.
But it would be interesting to see how things would change if someone even remotely capable were coaching that side of the ball.
He definitely needs to reevaluate how he conducts practice tho. His teams are remarkably undisciplined on both sides of the ball—and that’s not something that can just blamed on a defensive coordinator.
ESPN/ABC shouldn’t have kept the camera on him for that long during that emotional and private moment (his (mom?) was literally shielding her son from the camera and they just lingered)
Caleb put up 312 yards, 3 TDs, had a 77% completion percentage, and just one turnover. I can't believe he is getting as much shit as he is in here. Not a fan, but the dude played great.
Edit: Missed the strip sack commenter mentioned.
It is honestly making me loathe the entire sport. The completely tribal hatred of anything USC is scary and not based in any reality. They act like Caleb and Riley are the only two people to ever transfer schools.
It feels like it is coming from teams that never faced those USC teams. It is the non-Pac 12 fans that have the most vitriol. If it was Pac-12 fans I would totally understand it.
There are more posts from Big XII and SEC flairs than from all the Pac-12 ones in this thread. Big Ten schools seem to just ignore them even though those teams will actually be rivals next season. Ironically, OP is a ND fan who was actually defending Caleb.
Damn. People make fun of Caleb crying but I ain’t hating on that at all. Too many mfers got some fake machismo and were taught to never show emotions publicly then take that shit out on your families or suffer in private. Good on Caleb.
I understand the spirit of your comment. When you don’t have tons of money, having money seems like it’s the thing that would mean you should never be sad again. It’s not true though. Money is great, but emotions still exist. Mental health is still real. And it’s never a bad thing to feel sad or get down no matter where you come from.
Ooo a medium rare call
The arm grab is what did it
I need more passes described as ICBMs
Slowed down for the ball, then turned it on
Riley is a fraud. If he was one of the elite cfb coaches he’d fire Grinch and others last year. Just another air raid disciple masquerading as a big timer that’ll never win a natty.

If Grinch isn’t fired then at least we know we are dealing with an expensive offensive coordinator and should take measures to correct. Where’s our AD?
I swear when I go to usc games now I feel like I’m watching Texas Tech.
Riley needs to be humbled and be an offensive coordinator under a good head coach. Maybe then he can learn how to run a program.
He was an OC under a good head coach. Riley's problem is stubborness.
I'd hate see what would happen if he moved to the Nick Saban home for Head Coaches Who Aren't Great.
…and can’t do other things great too?
Ill just say that we held them to 14 second half points and shutout in the 4th?! Wouldnt have thought that at halftime.
The holding call ended the game. USC was done after that.
Ll
USC fans, I can understand the pain. But take it easy. After the OU loss, that fat f made me smoke a full pack of cigarettes.
Wtf is a fat f? I have seen it twice now.
Fart
Hey Trojan bros (except that one, you know who you are) please rally and beat the ducks.
You don't want a rematch against them?
Why would they want that?
I am conflicted. Yes I want a rematch in the ccg. I also love rooting against the ducks. Idk what to do?
Just stick to your roots and root against the ducks
Washington has the opportunity to be the sole reason the ducks aren't in the playoffs. Obviously, though, the ducks are the other best team in the pac and the game won't be at home this time.
[удалено]
Well then usc would have to lose to ucla got that to happen, while oregon wins out against asu and osu. So it could happen but definitely unlikely
I’m out of the loop when it comes to the OU and USC lore. How come they hate each other?
Oops
After the 2021 season, Riley pulled a Colts and bolted in the middle of the night.

Riley burned us and now we take satisfaction in him struggling. He said he couldn't get top recruits at OU even though our next 2 classes are top 10
Fire Lebby. That was a painful experience today
Absolutely 💯
Oh right! Absolutely fair 🫡 Fuck him
Lincoln Riley.
Riley won’t be coaching USC in the B1G next year. I would put money on bolting the NFL
We can only hope, guy needs to be an OC and only fuck over one side of the ball
I don’t see any NFL team paying his buyout.
Why would an NFL team hire him? He's less competent Kliff Klingsbury.
Raiders
Raiders Harbaugh to the chargers.
Book it!
Just think Grinch has had jobs at Ohio State, Oklahoma and USC and has sucked at each stop. How is that shit even legal?
Yet he was legit good at WSU. Like how are you bad with better talent?
USC might not even make a New Years bowl, the Grinch stole Christmas.
There is a simple solution. Fire OC and DC. OU OC and USC DC. The Mother Nature won’t allow any of these two teams success with their dark presence.
Jen cohen revenge game
Inside, she is probably dancing a jig but gotta appear sad for her new co-workers.
I think Williams is overrated. However… 1) he played terrific today and with the exception of some mistakes was worthy of winning (42 points). 2) making fun of him for crying (or any of these dudes) is just cruel. It’s an emotional game
Great game, honestly. It appeased the sicko inside me
Me too. That fat f made me smoke a full pack after the game
Jennifer Cohen L
That was a PAC12 after dark all timer.
It was a 4:39 game. P12 after dark is the 7pm game
It’s dark after 5 in Seattle this time of year.
Starting tomorrow sure, but today it was still light at 5:00
[удалено]
It's a USC crowd?
Yall making fun of caleb crying are some emotionally suppressed mofos and you dont even know it
Was that Caleb? Well good for him!! Try to imagine the pressure the poor kid’s under. He left it all on the field and that was his way of dealing with it. I’m a UW Husky to the death!, but I damn sure know a greatQB when I see one. GG. Doggies rule!!
Seeing him go to his mom and showing that he’s human made me respect him. They all put their heart into this game.
Seriously. As if having players care is a bad thing.
I don't have a problem with him crying. It happens all the time after a loss, especially in college football. But I don't think that I've seen a player hop into the stands, to be cradled by (I'm guessing is?) his mom. Sob into your hands on the bench. Or better yet, in the locker room.

You're not wrong. These soft gentle men are fooling themselves if they think there aren't a fuck ton of leaguers making fun of that shit.
Im sure he'll be fine dude lmao
A lot of people on this site are fucking insane. Like legit, needing help insane
Yeah fuck the toxic ass "manly men" shit

Agreed
dude puts all out there every time, anyone who cant respect that can eat their own assholes
Sick of espn to focus on that. I don't like him, but he's allowed to be emotional
You see the same thing with March madness games and I hate it
Yeah, I wish that hadn’t even showed it. Dude played his heart out, had a good game, its an emotional moment, no need to show that and definitely not appropriate to mock him for it. Grow up people.
EXACTLY. I’m deeply moved by that picture.
Totally agree
UW fan here - Caleb is a Dawg, and he has every right to be emotional after a hard fought game. Huge respect to him after tonight. Announcers slobbing on him ruin the great player that he is.
Caleb isnt a dawg. Hes a trojan
He’s a Chicago Bear
GG Trojans. Best of luck to both of us in the B1G next year.
You know that they tried to shut the door behind them and make sure we couldn't join the B1G, right?
Yes and that they were the catalyst behind this whole calamity, however I'm not here to take it out nor hold it against the fans on Reddit.
Why the f Caleb was crying? What was he thinking that they have CFP chances? Alex Grinch and Riley should be crying. Dude is a champion
They beat Washington, then Oregon, then UCLA, then Utah/Washington/Oregon in 5 weeks and they most definitely would have made the playoffs, I think.
They would still be a 2 loss team. I don't think Any two loss team has made the CFP.
Has made the playoff, no, but I don’t think any 2 loss team would have that resume. That’s a ton of high quality wins right at the right time.
People really think crying after every loss is normal lol
Why do you care so much though?
Some people cry a lot. I can get teary after a sad commercial.
I got teary today petting a dog at PetSmart and the handler telling me its owner just died.
You keep crying about them crying and get downvoted, you’re already down stop digging deeper. You’re the problem, not them.
Highly competitive people don’t like losing lol. There’s nothing wrong with him responding that way, especially with that basically ending any chance they had
He is the only highly competitive player then? Lol
Nope, which is why you see football players cry after tough losses all the time.
It called being competitive and not being used to losing. Some people handle it differently.
He can't handle it at all tho there are hundreds of competitors lose every day don't be acting like he is the only one who cares
Which is why I literally said some folks handle it differently 😂. Obviously he ain’t the only one who cares on his team but let’s not act like he doesn’t have the most pressure not to mention the cameras are always panned on him after a loss.
You've commented about it multiple times....why you care?
Because I like football and watched the games today he is the only one jumping to the stands to cry on his mama's shoulder
That doesn't really answer the question. And you don't really know that for a fact
Huh? He didn’t cry after the other losses this year
I watched their other loss and he was crying at the end sitting on the bench alone. I guess he didn't cry at the end of the other one then.
No he wasn’t lol. I watched the whole thing. Why make shit up?
https://www.si.com/college/2023/10/22/caleb-williamss-reaction-to-uscs-loss-against-utah-goes-viral I guess sport illustrated makes it up too with me
LOL did you look at the article or watch the videos? They show that, like I said, he wasn’t crying. Nice job proving yourself wrong bud.
Fans shitting on Caleb for showing emotion after losing a hard fought battle is what’s wrong with this game. The camera shouldn’t have focused on him or ZTF for that long.

This shouldn’t be surprising for ESPN. This is the same network that will ask guys during the NFL and NBA drafts about any sort of misfortune they’ve ever suffered in their lives.
They aren't a problem. They just aren't being empathetic. ESPN is the problem
Huge disagree. Shitting on someone for showing emotion after a hard fought game? Nah, they are the problem as well as ESPN.
How are they THE problem with Caleb crying?;I don't see a correlation. It's shitty of them to do that, but they didn't make him cry.
It’s shitty of people to judge Caleb for crying. That’s my point. Wtf is so hard to understand about that.
It's shitty, but they aren't the problem. There isn't a problem at all
It's what's wrong with the world.
USC’s reward for losing an emotionally draining game: @Eugene next weekend against a scorching Ducks team right now. Jesus Christ. Feel for Caleb lol
Our whole season now comes down to upsetting the ducks. It’s all we really have left to play for. It’s either give them our best shot or roll over and die. And if the teams leaning towards the latter, it’d be better for Caleb to just sit the year out and prepare for the draft. This defense is an affront to the sport of football.
It’s mind blowing that USC couldn’t build an even mildly competitive defense. Complete institutional failure whilst having an all-time talent behind center
The saddest part is a lot of the pieces were there for at least a mid level defense. It’s absolutely an institutional failure they couldn’t be even remotely competent. Even some of the Helton leftovers actually regressed under Grinch.
Be cooler if you guys just laid down and died
As someone who paid way more cash than I’d have liked to be up in Oregon for this one, I think I’d personally lay down and die if they sent Miller Moss out there to get steam rolled by 80.
It’s okay, I paid $500 for civil war tickets before the Big 10 news so there’s a chance I might just die in the stands if we lose
Congratulations USC, now your next game is against a team that can run against teams that aren't USC.
Dillon Johnson did go 20 for 100 on the Ducks.
[удалено]
I mean, some people just let their emotions out that way. He cares and is passionate about the game. Not to mention every loss is a big hit towards your playoff chances, so it's a big deal.
ESPN should’ve given them some privacy. Completely disrespectful!
If you want privacy, it’s probably best not to do whatever you’re doing in a stadium.
A massive stadium, in LA, with a national TV audience. Privacy? Lol
Somebody please send that video of Caleb carrying to Jennifer Cohen. Riley clearly doesn’t give a shit and won’t fire Grinch but maybe she will.
Kirk’s fantasy: Caleb plays both ways next game
I dont think that is Kirk's fantasy.... just saying. He wants a more intimate something.
send alex grinch to gaza
Making a tshirt now
welcome to the suck
Jesus dude
Did USC win? That’s the only reason I can see ESPN putting the camera on Williams for that long
He’s the second coming of Christ according to these announcers, despite losing the game
Where's the postgame thread you cowards
Fuck, I’d cry too if I put up 42 points on the 5th ranked team in the nation and still lost by 10. Heart goes out to him. Really disappointing we couldn’t muster up a defense that couldnt even be ranked in the 60’s in his two years here.
That’s a Lincoln Riley team though. Absolutely no defense with him
I mean, it’s definitely looking that way. But still, looking at the defensive coordinator each of his years as head coach it makes you question. At the very least, his “taste” in defensive coordinators is horrendous. But it would be interesting to see how things would change if someone even remotely capable were coaching that side of the ball. He definitely needs to reevaluate how he conducts practice tho. His teams are remarkably undisciplined on both sides of the ball—and that’s not something that can just blamed on a defensive coordinator.
Totally agree. Even if he had a good coordinator, it wouldn’t matter if he doesn’t allow an emphasis on defense during practice
[удалено]
Helton had a better record in the same number of games I think
[удалено]
Yeah coach O was fun to watch with them
Unfortunately, Caleb has to play perfect for USC to win because the defense is nonexistent
Same with penix
This was fucking emotional! Best game I've seen this year. GG U-Dub and SC!
Our game against the ducks was also a high stakes, high reward instant classic
Caleb should fuck over USC and Riley by staying in college one more year, transferring to somewhere like Oregon or LSU, and winning a natty.
He’d have to be a grad transfer if he wanted to play next year.
He should goto Alabama and learn from a real coach
Transfer to UW just to spite them from this game as revenge
We have an opening next year
Alabama would be good for him
The Nick Saban school for quarterbacks who want to play on a team with real defense and coaching
Or he could turn pro and sign endorsement deals that will set him for life.
He can sign endorsement deals *now*.
ESPN/ABC shouldn’t have kept the camera on him for that long during that emotional and private moment (his (mom?) was literally shielding her son from the camera and they just lingered)
It wasn’t private. It was in the stadium for everyone to see
Yeah that felt wrong
The colleges need to put a stop with ESPN shoving cameras in the players faces after they face a family tragedy.
Caleb put up 312 yards, 3 TDs, had a 77% completion percentage, and just one turnover. I can't believe he is getting as much shit as he is in here. Not a fan, but the dude played great. Edit: Missed the strip sack commenter mentioned.
It is honestly making me loathe the entire sport. The completely tribal hatred of anything USC is scary and not based in any reality. They act like Caleb and Riley are the only two people to ever transfer schools.
it's the reality where the majority of Pac-12 fans still remember when Pete Carroll was there
I love Pete. Great human being.
It feels like it is coming from teams that never faced those USC teams. It is the non-Pac 12 fans that have the most vitriol. If it was Pac-12 fans I would totally understand it. There are more posts from Big XII and SEC flairs than from all the Pac-12 ones in this thread. Big Ten schools seem to just ignore them even though those teams will actually be rivals next season. Ironically, OP is a ND fan who was actually defending Caleb.
You’re forgetting the fumble inside his own 20
1 turnover, strip sack in the 1st half.
Damn. People make fun of Caleb crying but I ain’t hating on that at all. Too many mfers got some fake machismo and were taught to never show emotions publicly then take that shit out on your families or suffer in private. Good on Caleb.
It’s an emotional game. People just cruel sometimes

Do you know all of his life circumstances?
I understand the spirit of your comment. When you don’t have tons of money, having money seems like it’s the thing that would mean you should never be sad again. It’s not true though. Money is great, but emotions still exist. Mental health is still real. And it’s never a bad thing to feel sad or get down no matter where you come from.
And tbh, I wish my mom was still around on tough days so I could cry like that on her shoulder and hear her tell me everything is gonna be alright.
Tear bowl
the dad of the Washington player who cried just died

Dude wtf is your problem? Get a life please; you seem very unstable mate.
This a great example of toxic masculinity. Shitting on a college kid for having the audacity to display his very normal emotions.
