We're Playing USC in the Holiday.

John papuchis calling the defense is scary. Maybe the AD could just hold a raffle for play calling

I'm honestly really interested to see how Papuchis does without out the wrath of Bo hanging over his head. I think he'll be more willing to switch and mix things up. It's pretty much a job audition if he wants to get a decent job somewhere else next year.

Thad will be interesting. Hey may just do better than his former boss

Exactly. Might be very surprised.

..wait i thought the season was over already

i totally forgot we have another game to play.......

Just watch us play flawlessly and confirm that the only set back to the staff was ultimately Bo.

That would kinda be funny.

Hope the coaches let them just go out and have fun, blitz every down, reverse passes, DPE snap it to himself then throw it to himself for a touchdown. Couple foltz keepers etc.

Strange that we have never beaten USC. It's a down year for both of us, but it would be nice to beat them.

I expect the bowl game to be much more fun, and more unpredictable, now that Bo is gone. Not saying that Bo was the cause of all of our problems, but I think the coordinators might actually perform better without Bo chewing their ears off. Also, this staff knows that this is a last hurrah. I expect them to pull out all the stops. We'll almost surely see a lot more blitzing. I doubt Papuchis sticks to the dry, boring 4-man rush. It's his last game as a DC. He's going to go banzai.

As for Beck, I expect to see one or two double reverse, half-back passes. Why not take some chances? Plenty of people don't like Beck, but I think he's alright. He'll probably call a much more colorful game than we have seen with Bo sitting on his shoulder. Also, might see the backup if TA stumbles. In short, it's going to be fun.

This is one of the few opponents that could have made our bowl game interesting. I wish we could be in Wisconsin's place, and be playing Georgia for a third year, but I'll take USC!

Hope we play better against them than last time....

I fully expect the coaches to put their job experience on full display for other teams in hopes of landing another job

 

[dvdcrr]

The coaches can do what they want but it really comes down to player motivation. What are they playing for? That is what the coaches need to define.

I expect Jake Cotton to be put on his a$$ every other play by Leonard Williams

Watched USC lose a bowl game to a really outmatched GT squad a couple years ago. It was the Sun Bowl, and none of the Spoiled Children looked like they wanted to be there. Doubt they'll be like that this year. Kessler is the real deal, a couple receivers are match-up problems for us, and they like to hit the backs out of the backfield. Might be a long night, but I'm holding out hope.

Can Gregory take over for TA4? Or you know, a Qb who can make a five yard pass?

I actually thing this is a good question. If Pap proves that hes a competent coach when he doesnt have bo hanging over his moves or controlling him like a puppet. Would you consider him staying at some level. I always have liked his enthusiam on the sidelines.

I like Pap myself. Be good to see him do it solo. Hope for the best.

This is a twofer possibility here. Avenge the losses to USC and smack down Sarkisian one more time. I like the matchup, need to send this class out with some dignity and a bowl win. GBR

i was going to say it would be hilarious if paps called a perfect game. or if riley kept him and beck on staff as coordinators.
