00:00Speaking of exciting games, I don't know why, I don't know what my issue is with Penn State.

00:08I swear there's nothing personal.

00:10I can't dig back into the memory bank and figure out.

00:15That's why you don't like him.

00:16That's the same reason I have.

00:18It's Sheriff Pan's team, Casey, there you go, fill in the blanks.

00:24I really tried to avoid that being the issue.

00:25I love Sheriff Pan, but yeah, I guess his love for Penn State just really makes me root

00:29against them.

00:30So of course, in the first half of them going against USC, I was like, wow, I've got a text

00:35drafted for Sheriff Pan, rubbing it in his face.

00:37I said it from the beginning, Penn State's got this bruising defense that can really

00:42give it to the other team, but their offense just can't match tempo.

00:45They're not consistent.

00:46They don't show up in the first half.

00:48And then I had to remind myself, wait a minute.

00:50This is the team that shows up all of a sudden in the second half and then tends to make

00:53these rally comebacks.

00:55And that's why they're so high on themselves.

00:57And well, the script fit 33 to 30 over USC, a USC team that was in complete control in

01:03the first half.

01:04I mean, 13 points in the second quarter while Penn State only had six points.

01:10Then on top of it, they come back out and just completely lose rhythm.

01:13Penn State puts up 14 points in the third quarter, tops it off and ties things up in

01:16the fourth quarter, takes things into overtime and secures the W. I don't even know where

01:20to start with this one, Dubbs, so I'm just going to toss it to you for opinion or whatever

01:24stood out for you in this game or what players, anything, because I had to erase my entire

01:28message to Dave Sharapan and Ekro.

01:32Still send it.

01:33Sharapan, shout out.

01:34I love you, my guy.

01:35I'd say what I do not love and what I do not like out here on the West Coast, USC.

01:41This is disappointing.

01:42You know, three and three for the season, one and three in conference play.

01:46Lincoln Riley's getting paid the big bucks, but this is a 30 minute football team.

01:51They cannot seem to get out of the dogfight.

01:53They had this one well and truly in their grasp, but they could not close it out.

01:57There are a couple of special performances that we certainly need to highlight.

02:01Drew Ellar was fantastic for the next 391 passing yards, two tighties, a couple, well,

02:07three interceptions there, but he looks fantastic, six foot four, six foot five.

02:11He's got that physical presence.

02:13He's got an arm to absolutely match and what a record setting day there for the big tight

02:17end.

02:1917 receptions, 224 receiving yards in a touchdown, so a really special afternoon there for Tyler

02:27Warren.

02:28They've got the quarterback play, but for me, it was a more disappointing, I guess,

02:31performance from USC because they continue to show so much promise early in these games

02:36and for Penn State, this is a classy site, you know, they kick number four in the nation.

02:41So for you, you had to get up, but Lincoln Riley, my guy, not good enough again.

02:45He tells us in the presser, but yeah, look how close we've been in all these games.

02:49We've had the toughest schedule in the nation.

02:52I can agree in part with some of that statement, but for a guy who's been brought in to get

02:57the results, USC are failing to get it done and that is the end of their season.

03:02Hate to be that guy, but they are no way going into the college playoffs after today.
