How would you try and beat USC?

Well played!

I slept well.

I finally found a use for my HS Physics class - Mr. Nagle was right, it does have real world applications

Same exact thing Michigan did and Utah did every year. Hammer the ball on them. You play softer split safety d coverage and force them to beat you 4 yards at a time down the field and almost all teams will make mistakes and either take a penalty or give you the ball. Our front 4 can get home and you add some rare blitzes but they hurt you one on one

Your other version is you’re bringing the house and playing aggressive press man on d. That was what Michigan did but they have a better press corner on Johnson then we do and rolled the coverage to the other side of the field to allow it

We don’t need to get exotic to beat this usc team. We just have to play sound for 60 minutes which we’ve yet to do. Game will 100% be decided by how well we tackle and if our ol can get consistent push. Michigan ran all over them with a simple gut scheme and Tackled really well. Simple as that

Agree. For the first time this year the Gophers need to play a complete game. If they play as they are capable all three phases, they can beat USC. This could be the game that turns around the season, or buries them and sets things up for a 4 win season.
