Mad Dog literally has no idea what he’s talking about. Hurts didn’t win the Heisman, went Lincoln lost to Texas with Kyler. He lost a game he shouldn’t have with Hurts
Thats not what hes saying. Hes saying Lincoln has been responsible for several top QBs that have made it to the NFL. Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield, Caleb Williams...hes a QB guru and he already has the #1 QB commit in the nation coming to USC JuJu... so we aint tripping on offense. Anddd everyone knows USC is QB University. We have had more QB Heisman trophy winners than any other college in America. Having Lincoln is the icing on the cake. So just stop talking.
@@bigturboweenieI think he very clearly was NOT talking about NFL draft picks. It's just a Freudian slip, but you playing damage control and gymnastics to change his meaning is sad.
“The Nebraska stinks” take would be the outlier there. If he was talking about Nebraska through 60s and 70s lens he would definitely not say they “stink”
Whos won more championships and more heismans in the last 20 years? USC or michigan? Ohh and the 70s was 50 years ago, so ill help you there with the math.
Calling USC historical 20 times better job is pretty ridiculous here. Looking in the past 25 years I think that the Oklahoma job would be more desirable.
@@fivefour5514 based on a pretty long time frame, let’s call it the last 10 years, can you explain to me why you would consider USC the more desirable job than Oklahoma. Let alone 20 times more desirable?
Riley hasn’t proven he can do it against teams with an equal level of talent. Big fish in a small pond in the Big 12. When he went out to LA, it’s been disappointment after disappointment when he squares up against teams of equal talent. Utah, UO, UW. Great recruiter and offensive mind but doesn’t have the ability to win something meaningful without drastic changes.
Yeah it's his fault. He hired that DC when he was at Oklahoma. Which btw he inherited Bob Stoops team. Hes never shown he can build a team. Okla got worse each year he was there period. He's soft minded. New DC won't change that at all. He has a soft strength and conditioning coach as well. @@Cam.Deux.
As an OU fan - it was common knowledge among everyone in Norman that Lincoln Riley didn't want to go the SEC and compete with tougher programs and liked having it easy in the Big 12. It's not really a theory, he made it quite clear to the leadership at the University that he was leaving so he didn't have to compete in the SEC.
It's common knowledge that ESPN lured OU and Texas into the SEC, for money $$$. OU just didn't say we need tougher competition, let's look for a new home. So don't go up sizing, bragging it up, or Boomer Sooning the SEC move. The move wasn't for competition, it was for that ESPN corporate $$$$.
OU fan finds it adorable when USC fan claims their program to be the better of the two. Lincoln, Riley didn't go to USC because it was a better program. He was handed the keys to a winning program and he just couldn't take it to the next level. His star was fading and he needed to cash in before it was too late (failure in the SEC), and a desperate USC was willing to back up a Brinks truck.
Mad Dog needs to stick to anything but College football lol. He just throwing words out and seeing what sticks lol. Oklahoma is a way more better college town than LA. First off all, a State with little to no other professional team will always be a better college town because thats all they have. So with Oklahoma, yes they have the thunder, but the thunder has only been there since what 07. OU has been there since the 1800s. Cmon now. Second, LA will always be a LAKERS-Dodgers town, then everything else. USC has been irrevelvant since 06. So yeah I 100% agree with Paul finebum, Madd dog just arguing just to argue, but hey thats the old media for you lol.
USC is easily the most popular local football team in town. It’s arguably Lakers, Dodgers, and USC football. If you’re not a local, you’d have no idea how big it is around here.
@@InformalProgram Key words, Lakers Dogers first, then USC, but we all know how fickle Cali is in terms of sprots, if they arent winning, they arent showing up to any games, why, because Cali has way to much other things to do
I'm in LA - NOBODY is talking about firing CLR. He was definitely late getting rid of his buddy Grinch... Why aren't folks acknowledging the D staff overhaul?? ✌🏾✌🏾
I wish they talked more about what Riley inherited when he first got to SC. We haven’t been contenders in a long time so he had to revamp the roster. While doing this we enter NIL era and all its shenanigans. Any coach who would had took the SC job wouldn’t see no true success until year 3 or 4 just because of the turnaround that was needed. Just gotta have patience and I think this year we see a turnaround. Maybe make the playoffs but the foundation of what SC fans expect will start this season

Not really, they went out strong and I wish they were still around, but historically the PAC has only on rare occasions fielded teams with the same athleticism as what is standard in the SEC
The Pac-12 was almost always awful. It was overrated because ESPN used its arbitrary rankings to put a bunch of west coast teams in the top 25 when Vegas told you all you needed to know about the Pac. Washington was a 10 point underdog to Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship Game and a 1.5 point underdog to Oregon State in Corvallis. Does that seem like the "#2 team in America" to you? The Michigan result was obvious. Harbaugh could have named the score. The only legitimate teams to come out of the Pac-12 in the past 30 years were Pete Carroll's best SC teams.
USC drawing a lot of shade at SEC media days. You would think Finebaum could wait until B1G media days next week. But ESPN doesn’t have the access to anything in the B1G since FOX is the primary media partner of that conference
Hope everyone remembers Finebaum said that same thing about Harbaugh for many years and what happened, Michigan won it all last year, that’s why you can’t take him seriously. Mad Dog is so much better anyway.
Yeah but USC has been getting worse or have been stale….Michigan we’re getting better each year and through their resilience they broke through last year and won a Chip🤷🏾♂️
It took Jim harbaugh 9 years to get to a national championship win and Michigan fans was kill him because he kept on losing to Ohio state, so the criticism is warranted.
What a minute, if Dog’s point is about winning Heisman Trophies, what does that have to do with actually having a great program that can win championships? When Caleb Williams won the Heisman, they didn’t even make the playoffs
USC is not a better program than oklahoma and it never had been and how dare you for screaming about it like that 😂 USC ID going to lose 5-7 games this year and it’s going to be hilarious 😂 everything Paul said is so true about Lincoln Riley and it’s completely backed up with facts while screaming lunatic over there only had fantasies to back it up. What a joke 😂
Ya’ll clearly missed D’Anton Lynn out here making UCLA look like a west coast Iowa on defense. They will be a lot better defensively with him in charge now.
Lincoln who..? Evenghough Gabriel went to Oregon, i am 100% pulling for to win the heisman. He came to OU at a mentally dire time for the program, and honestly i have so much love and respect for the man. He deserves all the great things to come his way. THANK YOU DG!!!
Finebaum is fishing for clickbait. Riley has won 19 games in two seasons. Yes, keeping Grinch was a mistake but the upgrade on the defensive coaching staff is a positive. Riley isn’t going anywhere and the Trojans will be competitive in the Big 10.
Lincoln has one of the brightest offense minds in the country.He didnt focus on the defense and had to outscore his opponents. As for the SEC,Lincoln did try to get out of the USC vs. LSU game the start of the 2024 season.They play defense in the SEC more than other conferences. Lincoln knew what was in store,if he remained at Oklahoma. 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Dog doesn't even really know what he's talking about but he's still 100% right. Paul does have an axe to grind and hes out to get Lincoln Reilly because he betrayed some of Paul's friends at Oklahoma. That's how it works, he did the same thing to Urban Meyer and Ed Orgeron
First thing, Paul has no friends at OU, has done nothing but trash the school for over a decade. Second, Lincoln was asked, even begged to fire Grinch the entire time he was there. Third, he hasn’t won anything other than Caleb’s trophy with players he didn’t inherit from Stoops. He’s at best an offensive play calling wizard but he has no business running a program. Check out how his strength and conditioning was thought of lol.
More all time wins: OU More natty chips: OU Heismans: OU All Americans: OU Weeks at #1: OU Total NFL picks: OU Most weeks in the top 10: OU Most conference chips: OU Tell me again how USC is the better program?
You have no idea what you're talking about. Heisman Trophies USC 8 OU 7. Natty's USC 9(11) OU 7. This is just the start. Stop making stuff up, you are a complete BOZO!
In terms of what Mad Dog said, na I don't wanna be a bride maid, I want to win, making it to 3-4 CFP and losing the way he and OU loss, wouldnt be acceptable in UT. I agree with Paul, Lincoln did not want the SEC smoke, he and his offensive would be lucky to score like 20pts, he wouldve gotten exposed.
MAD DOG is right about the BIG 10. Its been Ohio State and Michigan and everyone else is mediocre. Now Oregon and Washington come in and they will add some strength but USC and UCLA are just more of the same for the BIG 10. I expect Ohio State, Oregon and Michigan to be fighting for the playoffs every year. Oregon does need to show up. They get to the big game and they falter. They need to get over that hump or they are going to be the Buffalo Bills of college football.
Disaster? Went 10-2 his first season at USC and had a very rough defensive year last year, but he still produced a top 10 offense. Also, why are SEC commentators even targeting USC?
I agree with Finebaum, it is going to be bad for USC. The Trojans are weak in the trenches; lack physicality. Oregon will have a lot more success in the Big 10, do to their speed & physicality.
@@greg7964UCLA falls in the same boat as the Trojans; Wisconsin's physical style of play dates back to when Alvarez was coach & have put O line player in the NFL. The rest of the teams have been on The Big 10, so they understand the assignment; not everyone is on the same talent level tho.
Finebaum, you realize Oregon, Washington and USC went to the Big 10 right, now the big ten is the best conference, he’s not running away from anything, you’ve also been wrong most of the time when it came to Jim Harbaugh too
Oregon and Washington were late additions. USC is tired of losing to Oregon ocer the last 20 years. The worst news they got was Oregon going to the B1G
Mad Dog must be watching the USC youtube videos from the 1970's. Somebody tell that man that USC has been MIA for the last 20 years. For those of you who think these two men were yelling, no they were not. They have Italian genes.
I think people are underestimating UsC this year. Last year was last year. So please don’t give me their defense will suck this year. All stellar new defensive staff! doggy is right about other BiG teams which suck. It’s really been only Ohio State and Michigan. We’ll throw in there Penn St too even though they haven’t been consistent in winning the conference. I think both USC and choklahoma are great football programs with rich histories! Finebaum is a moron anyways. He has obnoxious views without thinking the improvements.
The hate on USC is real. It’s across this country. The narrative is Lincoln Riley ran from the SEC they dummy down his accomplishments and highlight his shortcomings. He’s literally entering his 3rd year and 3rd year of NIL. And SC hasn’t quite been able to figure that out. But let’s be real he still had these guys committed to him at one point in time and he also made the pac 12 championship game his first year ! Give this man Coach Riley his credit with optimistic energy not pessimistic down talk
11:09 without Oklahoma Riley wouldn’t have had the cache to get Caleb the heisman on that team he needed the legacy he built there and the legacy Caleb did as well. I also say this conceding that Caleb was the best player that year
It's crazy to say that USC is going to be irrelevant in the Big ten when we have the best record out of all the new additions coming to the Big ten what have Oregon done nothing at all not to say that USC got a new defensive coordinator but I will be coming back to this a few months from now
Mad Dog is keeping it 💯 TROJANS are back baby✌🏽 The hate and negativity coming off these haters proves it. Coach Link went 11-3 in his first year, and if Caleb didn't get hurt, they would have made the playoffs, in spite of the subpar defense. Now yes SC had a great offense last year but their defense was atrocious, even so they went 8-5 which is a winning record I might add. With a very good bowl game beat down win against a fully loaded Louisville defense that had all their defensive starters playing. Also is finebaum on crack, do u really think that Coach Links offense is going to stop just cause Caleb isn't there anymore? Heck no, Miller Time Moss is a very talented QB and Coach Link will show why he's the QB whisperer. I have The Trojans going 10-2 with a playoff berth. Remember this is the same SC team that pug 35+points on the quacks and Huskies, if SC had just a competent defensive staff they would have won both those games. Coach Link now has an elite defensive staff watch what they do this year✌🏽
Hurts didn't win a Heisman. Mayfield, Murray and Williams did. Come on Mad Dog. USC couldn't play defense in the PAC 12. They are in for a rude awakening in the Big 10.
Riley may be a good coach, but taking that USC good was the worst possible choice for him. I am a USC fan, USC's problems stem from a management problem. The people up top are not running the program like they should. USC is still trying to figure out how to navigate the NIL world. People say NIL is an advantage for USC, but they are not on the ground in USC. USC has a lot of distractions surrounding their program. Being a fan, I get the sense USC is worried about that and they dont know how to control it. People think coming to LA is all about being around celebrities. Guess what? The cartels and drug dealers are also around these celebrities. The other problem, other schools across the nation are stealing their recruits from their own backyard. That cant happen. Once USC figures out these two issues the coach will have success. Until then, they are going to struggle.
So let me get this straight: You'd rather live in Norman, OK than Southern California???? I'm sure Norman is lovely, but it's Southern California with better talentin the backyard. The taxes suck but the weather is nice lol.
@@cmoon1992 exactly!!! their pipeline has been infiltrated and they haven't recovered! USC used to hog up all the elite Pacific Islander talent in the West coast but those days are long gone now. USC living in the past. Kids in SoCal don't care about USC's history they only care about now and USC hasn't done much except Caleb as a Heisman winner.
@@eddiechase305 oklahoma still having top 10 recruiting classes while usc has had only 1 since riley been there... I think kids would rather play in oklahoma where they get all the nil deals vs la where they have to share them with countless other professional sports teams.
Lincoln Riley has shown NOT to care about defense. Defense is needed to win BIG. He didn't even care about firing Grinch after the first season at USC or when he was at Oklahoma despite the fact that his offenses were national championship worthy.
@@blazzedbunny3243 oh I have . Much needed but he should’ve fired grinch after that debacle against Tulane tbh. He should’ve known better than to retain Grinch even when he was at Oklahoma . Grinch must have had photos of Riley in a compromising position with a farm animal . Only way he was his DC for so long
here is all I'll say about Lincoln Riley "running" away from the SEC: if that is true, he would have been kicking and screaming at the thought of joining the Big Ten, and USC would still be in the Pac-12
Just because I was Gary Bryant’s Barber and Ashton Cozart’s and also Jr Adams, I think this is Oregons best chance to finally win a National championship, with all the NIL money they are receiving and the Nike money daddy Phil is donating, Oregon got the players to compete and that’s all there is to it, but without those Uniforms and Phil Knight money, Oregon is NOTHING and that’s just reality.
Mad Dog is 1000% wrong 😂 I guarantee USC and Riley would trade all those Heisman Trophy for a natty next season. He’s only this passionate about this cause he watched em in the 1910s where they had leather helmets and the toss sweep didn’t exist 😂
All the resources and money ESPN has and they are a joke for college football/recruiting. Michigan did go to 3 final 4’s and they one a championship, they would not have been happy to have gone to 3 and lost all of them?!?! Hurts did not win the Heisman🤦♀️🤷🏼♂️👎
I'm not a USC fan, but they stole UCLAs DC Lynn, this off season. That hurt because he's going to make the Trojans defense scary. Finebaum will eat his words lol
Mad Dog literally has no idea what he’s talking about. Hurts didn’t win the Heisman, went Lincoln lost to Texas with Kyler. He lost a game he shouldn’t have with Hurts
Final fours 😂😭😭😭
Mad Dog probably thinks Doug Floutie is the best college football player ever

Third, he hasn’t won anything other than Caleb’s trophy with players he didn’t inherit from Stoops. He’s at best an offensive play calling wizard but he has no business running a program. Check out how his strength and conditioning was thought of lol.
He also got smacked in all those final fours....😂😂😂
More all time wins: OU
More natty chips: OU
Heismans: OU
All Americans: OU
Weeks at #1: OU
Total NFL picks: OU
Most weeks in the top 10: OU
Most conference chips: OU
Tell me again how USC is the better program?
All that and wen was last time Ou won da natty longer than SC
You have no idea what you're talking about. Heisman Trophies USC 8 OU 7. Natty's USC 9(11) OU 7. This is just the start. Stop making stuff up, you are a complete BOZO!
@@darightone29reed372001 to 2005. Not that much of a difference. Oklahoma was much more relevant in the 2010’s
Yeah relevant how long it’s been since ou held up that natty trophy longer than SC and we’ve been down u said stand out right
Stoops was a good coach but never couldn’t get it done yr after yr
In terms of what Mad Dog said, na I don't wanna be a bride maid, I want to win, making it to 3-4 CFP and losing the way he and OU loss, wouldnt be acceptable in UT. I agree with Paul, Lincoln did not want the SEC smoke, he and his offensive would be lucky to score like 20pts, he wouldve gotten exposed.
In order to win u gotta get there first so the whole premise of what you're saying flawed
Mad dog and paul need a show segment. I love this!
MAD DOG is right about the BIG 10. Its been Ohio State and Michigan and everyone else is mediocre. Now Oregon and Washington come in and they will add some strength but USC and UCLA are just more of the same for the BIG 10. I expect Ohio State, Oregon and Michigan to be fighting for the playoffs every year. Oregon does need to show up. They get to the big game and they falter. They need to get over that hump or they are going to be the Buffalo Bills of college football.
That dude was foaming from the mouth "USC is better than Oklahoma!" Lol say it don't spray it 😅
Disaster? Went 10-2 his first season at USC and had a very rough defensive year last year, but he still produced a top 10 offense. Also, why are SEC commentators even targeting USC?
I’m a Bama fan, Riley didn’t run from Oklahoma because of the SEC, he went to USC because they made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Riley getting run off after this season. They’re going 6-6…
Try Again!
I agree with Finebaum, it is going to be bad for USC. The Trojans are weak in the trenches; lack physicality. Oregon will have a lot more success in the Big 10, do to their speed & physicality.
So Minnesota, Maryland, Nebraska, Washington, UCLA, Wisconsin, and Rutgers have great lines in the trenches?
@@greg7964UCLA falls in the same boat as the Trojans; Wisconsin's physical style of play dates back to when Alvarez was coach & have put O line player in the NFL. The rest of the teams have been on The Big 10, so they understand the assignment; not everyone is on the same talent level tho.
Finebaum, you realize Oregon, Washington and USC went to the Big 10 right, now the big ten is the best conference, he’s not running away from anything, you’ve also been wrong most of the time when it came to Jim Harbaugh too
Oregon and Washington were late additions. USC is tired of losing to Oregon ocer the last 20 years. The worst news they got was Oregon going to the B1G
Oregon, Washington, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin
Vs
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, Auburn, Texas A&M, LSU
Yeah, SEC wins
@@StuUngarWhat about Penn state? Your betting with Florida,Auburn, and TAMU when you got OU and Texas?
Sorry you already mentioned the last two teams what about Ole Miss and Missouri
This entire exchange was glorious!!
Why does Finebaum have a hard-on for Riley? So strange. Riley's offense will be fine...we have a new DC ...the man can coach.
USC lost to Toledo. 😹😹😹😹
Mad dog is incorrect. Texas beat Lincoln and Murray in the RRR
Mad dog vs Paul is gold 😂
Mad Dog must be watching the USC youtube videos from the 1970's. Somebody tell that man that USC has been MIA for the last 20 years. For those of you who think these two men were yelling, no they were not. They have Italian genes.
2 idiots yelling at eachother lmao
Tell you don't know anything about College Football without telling me you know nothing about College football. 🤣
Note: Mr Dumbbaum, If Lincoln Riley Fails, Than The Entire Coaching Staff Fails, You Never Considered That Part You Colossal Disgrace 🤢
Doggy fighting for his life here 😂
Remember when USC beat Oklahoma beat 55-14 in a National Championship game?
What is Paul talking about. We were terrible before Lincoln and almost went to the college playoffs his first year
no Caleb almost got you in the playoffs
@@themadlad8540 who was the coach smart guy
As a USC fan I have hi hopes and try to be optimistic for the season, but USC and Lincoln Riley better get their sh*t together.
Oregon lost big games because they were presenting the Big Game Bo Nix Special. They shouldn’t have that issue now that he’s gone.
USC hasn't won the national championship since the 2000s with Pete Carroll was the coach
I think people are underestimating UsC this year. Last year was last year. So please don’t give me their defense will suck this year. All stellar new defensive staff! doggy is right about other BiG teams which suck. It’s really been only Ohio State and Michigan. We’ll throw in there Penn St too even though they haven’t been consistent in winning the conference. I think both USC and choklahoma are great football programs with rich histories! Finebaum is a moron anyways. He has obnoxious views without thinking the improvements.
That dude himself doesn’t believe USC is a better program than OU
Hahaha classic! I never knew Maddog talked about anything other than baseball, this is great.
Best take Ive seen from Mad Dog, bravo 👏🏽. He whoop Paul Hatebaum in this debate.
USC likes Heismans over National Titles he is sniffing glue.
Did it with Stoops players. And he can’t recruit. Look at his classes.
The hate on USC is real. It’s across this country. The narrative is Lincoln Riley ran from the SEC they dummy down his accomplishments and highlight his shortcomings. He’s literally entering his 3rd year and 3rd year of NIL. And SC hasn’t quite been able to figure that out. But let’s be real he still had these guys committed to him at one point in time and he also made the pac 12 championship game his first year ! Give this man Coach Riley his credit with optimistic energy not pessimistic down talk
Didn’t USC lose to Toledo or Tulane? 😹😹😹😹
11:09 without Oklahoma Riley wouldn’t have had the cache to get Caleb the heisman on that team he needed the legacy he built there and the legacy Caleb did as well. I also say this conceding that Caleb was the best player that year
Remember when Finebum said the same about Harbaugh? What a joke.
Finebaum needs to retire. Pal out of touch. 😂😂😂.
Mad Dog thinking NFL not college
It's crazy to say that USC is going to be irrelevant in the Big ten when we have the best record out of all the new additions coming to the Big ten what have Oregon done nothing at all not to say that USC got a new defensive coordinator but I will be coming back to this a few months from now
Theses clowns know nun fr embarrassing but not suprising it’s ESPN in 2024
Riley is 74-18 as a head coach. Who would fire a coach that won 80% of his games.
Oh yea tha USC hater himself 💀😂 out of touch wit tha game 💀😂🤦🏽♂️ Lincoln will be in tha playoffs this year
Lincoln is Paul’s new Jim Haugaugh lol
Mad Dog is keeping it 💯
TROJANS are back baby✌🏽
The hate and negativity coming off these haters proves it. Coach Link went 11-3 in his first year, and if Caleb didn't get hurt, they would have made the playoffs, in spite of the subpar defense. Now yes SC had a great offense last year but their defense was atrocious, even so they went 8-5 which is a winning record I might add. With a very good bowl game beat down win against a fully loaded Louisville defense that had all their defensive starters playing. Also is finebaum on crack, do u really think that Coach Links offense is going to stop just cause Caleb isn't there anymore? Heck no, Miller Time Moss is a very talented QB and Coach Link will show why he's the QB whisperer. I have The Trojans going 10-2 with a playoff berth. Remember this is the same SC team that pug 35+points on the quacks and Huskies, if SC had just a competent defensive staff they would have won both those games. Coach Link now has an elite defensive staff watch what they do this year✌🏽
This was hilarious!! 😂 They need to keep Paul & Doggie on here more often!!
Hurts didn't win a Heisman. Mayfield, Murray and Williams did. Come on Mad Dog. USC couldn't play defense in the PAC 12. They are in for a rude awakening in the Big 10.
paul cooked
ESPN without access to B1G with most blue blood and top academic universities
Riley may be a good coach, but taking that USC good was the worst possible choice for him. I am a USC fan, USC's problems stem from a management problem. The people up top are not running the program like they should. USC is still trying to figure out how to navigate the NIL world. People say NIL is an advantage for USC, but they are not on the ground in USC. USC has a lot of distractions surrounding their program. Being a fan, I get the sense USC is worried about that and they dont know how to control it. People think coming to LA is all about being around celebrities. Guess what? The cartels and drug dealers are also around these celebrities. The other problem, other schools across the nation are stealing their recruits from their own backyard. That cant happen. Once USC figures out these two issues the coach will have success. Until then, they are going to struggle.
So let me get this straight: You'd rather live in Norman, OK than Southern California???? I'm sure Norman is lovely, but it's Southern California with better talentin the backyard. The taxes suck but the weather is nice lol.
Yeah and everyone is getting that talent except USC
@@cmoon1992 exactly!!! their pipeline has been infiltrated and they haven't recovered! USC used to hog up all the elite Pacific Islander talent in the West coast but those days are long gone now. USC living in the past. Kids in SoCal don't care about USC's history they only care about now and USC hasn't done much except Caleb as a Heisman winner.
@@cmoon1992 it won’t be that way if the new DC is as good as advertised
@@eddiechase305 oklahoma still having top 10 recruiting classes while usc has had only 1 since riley been there... I think kids would rather play in oklahoma where they get all the nil deals vs la where they have to share them with countless other professional sports teams.
@@eddiechase305 they’re losing battles right now, and will continue.
How drunk is Mad Dog? Hurts never won a Heisman. His three are Williams, Murray, and Mayfield like tf
Mad dogg keeping it real
7:47 thank you harry. Oregon has the best qb in the country rn
A guy who calls the CFP the final four loses credibility immediately.
Lincoln Riley has shown NOT to care about defense. Defense is needed to win BIG. He didn't even care about firing Grinch after the first season at USC or when he was at Oklahoma despite the fact that his offenses were national championship worthy.
@@eddiechase305 so you haven’t paid attention to anything he’s done the last 6 months?
@@blazzedbunny3243 oh I have . Much needed but he should’ve fired grinch after that debacle against Tulane tbh. He should’ve known better than to retain Grinch even when he was at Oklahoma . Grinch must have had photos of Riley in a compromising position with a farm animal . Only way he was his DC for so long
I would choose Norman over LA any day
here is all I'll say about Lincoln Riley "running" away from the SEC: if that is true, he would have been kicking and screaming at the thought of joining the Big Ten, and USC would still be in the Pac-12
I mean he's often delusional, but his energy is so great that it makes up for all the delusion in the world. Love Mad Dog!
when riley coached at Oklahoma i got sick when we played a team that had to start their backup at qb
It’s doesn’t matter who’s the d coordinator. It’s a culture problem with Riley.
They’re 7-5 again.
Paul is just a SEC pom pom girlie.......USC is a historic program. Just as good if not better than OU.
ESPN has gotten this bad? Wow what a grange can company
Just because I was Gary Bryant’s Barber and Ashton Cozart’s and also Jr Adams, I think this is Oregons best chance to finally win a National championship, with all the NIL money they are receiving and the Nike money daddy Phil is donating, Oregon got the players to compete and that’s all there is to it, but without those Uniforms and Phil Knight money, Oregon is NOTHING and that’s just reality.
Mad Dog is 1000% wrong 😂 I guarantee USC and Riley would trade all those Heisman Trophy for a natty next season.
He’s only this passionate about this cause he watched em in the 1910s where they had leather helmets and the toss sweep didn’t exist 😂
Does anyone see his resemblance to Skip Bayless? They are trying their best to replace Skip.
USC is rent free in this dudes head
All the resources and money ESPN has and they are a joke for college football/recruiting. Michigan did go to 3 final 4’s and they one a championship, they would not have been happy to have gone to 3 and lost all of them?!?! Hurts did not win the Heisman🤦♀️🤷🏼♂️👎
I'm not a USC fan, but they stole UCLAs DC Lynn, this off season. That hurt because he's going to make the Trojans defense scary. Finebaum will eat his words lol
Mad "Skip Bayless" Dog dude is cooked.
I luv seeing these two go at it! Ha!
Um…did he bring up OJ Simpson? Lol
Finnebaum is right for a change.
Two Heisman trophy quarterbacks actually.. Blake Corum didn't get hurt two years ago, he would've won the Heisman Trophy
Mad dog is right about the big ten
Lsu vs Usc week 1 is gonna be real i just hope coach brian kelly KEEPS it real and we win
