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.
