00:02 That USC defense, it ain't good.
00:06 Three overtimes in the Coliseum in downtown LA
00:10 on Saturday night just to escape against Arizona.
00:14 USC wins in triple overtime, 43-41 over the Wildcats,
00:19 who have now DRS, covered in all three games
00:23 as an underdog against a power five team.
00:25 They were a 21 and a half point dog.
00:28 USC remains unbeaten,
00:30 but they have not covered in their last three weeks.
00:33 And Donnie, that defense is struggling
00:35 right now for the Trojans.
00:37 Yeah, they're hanging on by a thread right now.
00:39 By the way, this was Pac-12 after dark at its finest.
00:42 I didn't see the game as it finished up,
00:44 but I remember waking up in the morning,
00:45 seeing the final score 43-41.
00:47 So I said, wow, this is like a perfect scenario here
00:49 for Caleb Williams to win a Heisman Trophy.
00:52 What did he throw for, 650, six touchdown passes
00:54 or whatever he was doing since the game went to overtime.
00:57 So it was for 219, one touchdown and no interception.
00:59 It's kind of wild that they got the 43 points
01:01 when that was the only one here,
01:03 but obviously a monster conversion
01:05 in overtime there for Caleb.
01:07 I understand it's about surviving and winning
01:09 and you're a top 10 football team,
01:10 but sometimes there is winning with style.
01:12 That's not where you're getting out of USC here.
01:14 Sooner or later, it's going to come back to bite him here,
01:16 or else Caleb Williams is really going to have to be Superman
01:19 and knock off some of these top 10 teams,
01:20 but it's a good victory for them, I guess.
01:23 And that's where I'll leave it.
01:24 - Yeah.
