00:00 USC no longer in national championship contention.
00:04 Beat for the third time in the last two years by Utah.
00:08 The Utes walk it off.
00:09 Cole Becker, 38 yard field goal as time expires
00:13 in the LA Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night.
00:17 Utah wins outright, Donnie,
00:19 as a seven point underdog, 34-32 over Southern Cal.
00:24 - By the way, the recruiting game builds up
00:26 right here for USC,
00:27 but the reason why I bring up the recruiting game is
00:29 if you go to Michigan, like I'm not going to Michigan,
00:32 like why should we practice in August?
00:33 We don't play our first game till November 11th here,
00:35 but that's another point.
00:36 We'll get to Michigan and hammer them
00:37 a little bit later here.
00:38 But that USC game, this is supposed to be a bounce back
00:42 here. You're not supposed to lose the Utah at home.
00:43 But hey, look, top 15 team, you know, conference game.
00:46 No, no, no, no, no.
00:47 USC has bigger aspirations here.
00:49 And again, their defense lets them down in the biggest one.
00:52 Just get a stop or two here.
00:53 That's all you need at the end of the football game to win
00:55 because the counter of you winning the Pac-12 now
00:58 is starting to go up in smoke.
00:59 Wasn't like, oh, it's a non-conference game.
01:01 They lost, similar to Alabama, right?
01:02 Like, okay, well, let's just see if we get back
01:04 in that conference championship game, win it,
01:05 and we can go to the college football playoff.
01:07 And also the joke is now, Caleb Williams,
01:09 will he even be a first round pick at this point?
01:11 Because USC can't stand any victories anymore
01:13 with now losing another football game.
01:15 I'm interested to see USC as they go down the stretch.
01:19 You can't fault kids for doing that.
01:20 And I'm not saying, Ben, it's even going to happen.
01:23 But Caleb Williams, let's just say USC does get beat again.
01:26 Is he going to play in the bowl game?
01:27 Is he going to play in the final couple of games of the season?
01:30 Because he already has that talk like, you know what?
01:32 When I turn pro, I'm going to be the first player that
01:34 demands ownership of an NFL team, which is illegal.
01:37 You can't even actually do that here.
01:38 Otherwise, teams have already done that in the past to say,
01:40 you know, instead of giving you Patrick Mahomes,
01:42 a $500 million contract, why don't you
01:44 take a piece of this franchise?
01:45 I'm interested to see how you have a head coach here
01:48 that's going to be able to keep this team down because you see
01:51 it on social media.
01:52 This team gets babied.
01:53 This team's not allowed to talk to the media.
01:55 This is what you get.
01:55 This is the program Lincoln Riley is running.
01:57 I want to see how USC reacts down the stretch, you aware?
02:00 They're basically-- their playoff scenario up in smoke
02:03 at this point.
02:03 I want to see how they compete.
