Doogitywoogity 4 I think LSU is still a solid team, and USC showed they can operate a competent defense. That’s all they’ve been needing to be a serious contender. That was a playoff game and USC came out on top.

Sp1cyRice 2 (+19) A hell of a win against LSU. According to the model, the best win this week, but preseason weights but Georgia above. Everyone made fun of Lincoln Riley until he figured out this defense thing, and now it's not so funny. Moss looks the real deal.

loganisfresh 11 It was nice to finally see a USC team that doesn't get completely gashed on defense whenever they play a half decent squad, and LSU may even end up having one of the better offenses in the country by season's end. The offense maybe didn't score as much as Trojan fans have become accustomed too, but they scored enough, made plays when needed, and will only get better from here. One thing I find funny is that if this game was played less than a year ago, the final number of points scored may very well have been over twice as many.

SquadPoopy 12 Has Lincoln Riley finally figured out what the word defense means? For so long this term has alluded him. Defense. What a concept, and such a baffling one. But perhaps he has figured it out? After many long years has Lincoln Riley seen the correct wise sage on the mountaintop to reveal to him the secrets of defense? We shall see.

I apologize new DC D'Anton Lynn, I was not familiar with your game. Great win and a strong defensive showing, as well as the typically dynamic QB play we've come to expect out of a Lincoln Riley team.

throwaway_6786 18 USC won this game on that late TD, but it was their defense that kept them in this game all the way through. This is a rare sight for a Lincoln Riley-led team. I'm not ready to say that they're a more well-rounded team just yet, but the Trojans have a lot of good to take from beating favored LSU in the Vegas desert.
