I everybody embarrass the Brock joined by foxsports.com. College football analyst his look rather serious today tetris that the date it's wildly in college football now in the rearview mirror. But -- right here in Southern California team near and dear to your heart. USC they lose again to a conference opponent double digit underdog what do for the trojans Hamas.
And -- that game really what happened it was Washington I don't watch it -- yeah a lot of wrote the book on US -- you tell me I mean good god I was just over the Ronald happily literally out. -- was there on campus and and there's disillusionment right now -- he doesn't mean a lot of people are kind of shaking their heads and and wondered what the deal is in everybody's asking me this a bit what happened at Washington. What's going on what you see why as the offense not be offensive the past US he's been very good -- of offensively ever since it lost that game to organs they. Last year Pete -- really pull back the reins and said look we're gonna win with defense we're gonna run the ball and we're gonna be conservative offensively didn't go down to feel very much -- Mark Sanchez -- their quarterback and Sanchez's don't okay in the NFL right now so. That's why I don't why did you play conservative -- that's okay -- me -- like smash mouth football however if you're gonna play football that way you have to do a pulled off the ball when you run that you have to ball security would be right back editor got the fumbled four times two of which came from Joe McKnight even though we didn't lose those fumbles. Then you have to control the clock and get your point we -- get a -- into that at the end of the second quarter they couldn't get that field goal and that. You gotta be -- the digging it at USC has not been solid in the kicking game especially punting all of football season so if you're gonna play conservative football. That's -- What you have to do those things and USC. It's not doing that give credit to wash that give credit to Steve stark he's in great give credit to Nicole Jake locker the best quarterback and a -- Chris Paul -- a rising star running back no question about it but USC. Usually takes a perfect game to beat. And Washington didn't really play a perfect -- They just kind of did what they had to do and when the game and -- and with the quarterback situation at USC obviously now. Everybody's blaming -- court you should do the message boards they've ever want cork the play again sport or people think there's a double standard about this stuff buried between Matt Barkley and Darren Clarke I mean people -- far this is a full blown controversy the only thing that I can see that was really wrong with the way this thing went down or mishandled I should say. Is that they didn't tell. -- corp reportedly. Until he was actually going out there for the first -- I don't care about player I don't care about the gamesmanship. Go hit the ball game until the media who started quarterback that's why -- could tell the quarterback -- dead -- gonna start so I don't think -- on court was in the right head space and had the right -- wanted to -- but he played poorly there's no question about it but I have a bit of Bartlett went would have made much of a different watch all the credit they played a great game and now USC beat -- sand in his press conference. Yeah I you know we're gonna we're gonna have to kick this thing and I do it again. I don't know what that means you know what they attitude attitude Sanchez Lucy gonna go to Barkley cart and -- those guys -- I -- high gear and we're gonna see -- I have the Washington State game obviously Washington State not great pass defense I think they're 120 right now in the NCAA down there so it's USC has an opportunity to throw the ball down the field with the guy that they like obviously they liked Matt Barkley obvious way. They're gonna do it and we'll see if their receivers can step up their receiving -- is playing very average. This offense WSU football team. Is not the ones we remember what Carson Palmer right and routed Matt Leinart and Mike Williams they're not they're much more conservative and that really has changed. At USC. Over the last few years no question.
About it interesting situation there -- gonna drop your blood pressure a -- move away from USC but. Now we're gonna move on to note read good news very -- clock and has been amazing to hear especially compared to last year second in the nation in pass efficiency he will play the weekend by turf -- That is a wide receiver Michael Floyd who accounts for nearly 40% of clock and yards tackle you have more than more than half touchdowns he's got a broken collarbone. Out to the he. Does losing a talent like that kind of negate any chance Notre Dame had.
Out I don't I could negate the chance I mean they have a magic number just like all these baseball teams are talking about right now this time a year Notre Dame has a magic number updated at nine victories and at Michigan State when the fact that they pulled that out late date they get to nine victory that means. They're going to be -- gave -- the best looking girl in a room to all these bowl people. Because you get Notre Dame and air and everybody gets excited they travel well and they're Notre Dame football and I think it would it Charlie Weis has job but they have. At this triumvirate of receivers. And they were really good with Floyd and golden Tate. And Kyle Rudolph had been tied and gone up and catch the ball they are fantastic now they lose Floyd. And -- gonna change things a little bit Jimmy Claussen has played at a high level and you can tell what kind of quarterback he is the one we've been talking about since high school now that he has a better cast. Around the problem Notre Dame -- although it's and the thing that might keep them from that magic number. Is back there -- a deep. I -- Michigan State takes you to the wall all these different -- every bit -- susceptible lose. Ever did that -- about you look at their schedule on paper so it's got to hurt them not having him they still have weapons offensively there's no question about it but the Notre -- problem. Is on.
At best -- girl the -- a lot of college football fans who where beer goggles apparently because all love that's right noted and the travel all they got -- huge national follow this well Floyd got the only one hurting college football several big name players around the country gaffe if you get a look at all of them who would be the one guy. That losing him make a big impact on.
We gotta go where your front of the South Florida and -- got to go to Miami or south of McEnroe yeah he's he's had trouble I think this poor guy he's already redshirt at bat -- the poor man's Tim Tebow a really good quarterback at a guy that's been played quarterback at South Florida for Jim -- for so long. That we don't know who else could ever play quarterback for that I mean this guy. Really had a -- It's unfortunate he did -- they -- he's going to be out for the season maybe he gets a Shakespeare. Maybe he get to it the other have to go to Florida State without him the Bulls are really in trouble. If this situation now I have a kid BJ Daniels. Who's commentator he played all right against Charleston southern right yeah not a great test but -- it's not the same -- it's unfortunate to it because -- it was really one of the great doors in college football for South Florida really part of their rise. And he's going to be out for the I think that hurts the most because Bradford coming back. You know we talked about Florida I really think it's.
Growth and now Florida State is that come up huge win -- a dry you up close that is NBA will be back if they you look back at Florida State -- whether. Thought about the Pacers -- I'll start to the assumption that is that not a happy day and good to he has always in.
