00:00Get your thoughts. We were talking Lincoln Riley a little earlier in the show. I'll tell
00:07you what, it doesn't get any better for USC fans. 24 to 17, Minnesota, the Golden Gophers
00:14take down the Trojans. They put up two touchdowns there in the fourth quarter. Max Brosma, the
00:20quarterback, he was strong without being electric, but it really was the run game. Darius Taylor
00:24setting the table there for Minnesota. And for USC, second loss of the season. I know
00:30we've got the expanded playoffs, Rich, but they're now going uphill, up against it after
00:34this one. Yeah, no margin for error from here if we're talking about the playoffs. And it's
00:40USC. I think we should be talking about the playoffs. That, to me, is the expectation.
00:47This is one of the top shelf name brand programs in college football. I know it's going to
00:52get harder in the 18-team Big Ten. This is not the Pac-12 any longer. But even in the
00:58Pac-12, you know, Lincoln Riley was falling behind the likes of Oregon and Utah. I mean,
01:04Kyle Whittingham had Lincoln Riley's number. So I think, you know, listen, if they beat
01:11Penn State next week, are the playoffs a possibility? Yes. But no margin for error moving forward
01:17for USC. I love dubs that you brought up, Darius Taylor. He's one of my favorite running
01:22backs in the country. Enjoyed watching him as a true freshman last year. Struggled to
01:27stay healthy, is not a very big back. But you watched him tonight, both as a runner
01:32and a receiver. He was the best player on the field for Minnesota. And I mentioned in
01:38our first block about the importance of transfer quarterbacks. Max Brosmer played for New Hampshire
01:44out of the FCS. P.J. Fleck goes into the portal, plucks him out, makes a major upgrade at quarterback.
01:51And I'm just going to go a little stream of consciousness right now. Michigan, in the
01:57offseason, you knew what you had at quarterback post J.J. McCarthy. You couldn't go into the
02:02portal and get a quarterback who was looking to play on a bigger stage. I mean, you're
02:07going with Davis Warren, Jack Tuttle, Alex Orji, none of whom have been able to deliver,
02:13didn't deliver against Washington tonight in a loss. Michigan essentially out of the
02:17playoff race. But I mean, Dubs, what was Sharon Moore thinking when he did not get
02:22a transfer portal quarterback? That to me was negligence on his part.
