USC somehow ran a trick play by predicting the UCLA punter would punt the ball in the wrong direction.

Have never seen a punt return where a the punter kicks it the opposite way of the coverage. That on top of the returning team have a player able to field on the opposite side to return it. SC takes advantage of UCLA botching punt coverage.

We added Maryland so that we could start up a Lacrosse conference that none of us will ever win.

SMH
We have more B1G championships than just lacrosse.

The alternative was a different Big Ten game, not EMU.

The Big Ten added Maryland and Rutgers for new TV markets.

Maryland is typically a tougher out than Southern Michigan. 

Not this year, though.

USC v UCLA should be played in sunshine.
It was UM-OSU/USC-UCLA as the Saturday before Thanksgiving 1/4 double-header forever

Rosen with a pair of red zone turnovers, but Darnold cost USC 3 with a brain fart of his own, letting the half expire.

I've been bearish (all along) on both Rosen and Darnold (as elite QBs).  Darnold must have grease on his hands, or they are tiny, the guy coughs it up all the time.  Rosen, while, yes he can throw a deep ball, always seems too cute for his own good.

edit: never mind Rosen's own half hearted love of football.  I can't see this guy committing to football as a career.  Aloof may not be the right word, but the guys doesn't seem like he gives two shits for football. (not that there's anything wrong with that view, but not a guy i'd pay tens of millions of dollars to draft).

Yeah, aloof strikes me as Jay Cutler, and that doesn't seem like an apt comparison.  But whatever his mentality is, isn't one you can get away with playing that position in the NFL.
