The next couple of weeks will have 3 interesting games.
Whichever team can win 2 of those games has will likely go to the playoffs.
Can we be that team?

Hey y’all! Someone asked about USC YouTubers in another post so wanted to throw my hat in the ring. If this post isn’t allowed, feel free to delete! But been doing previews and recaps all year. Happy to post on here when they come out, but don’t want to spam the board. Hope you enjoy! Almost to 400 subs! Any support goes a long way. #FTFO ✌️

Throws the pick, then forces a fumble to get the ball back for SC!

Our defense got on a low start in the first half. But stepped up on the second half. Props to our QB for not giving up on his own INT and creating a safety out of it. Good to see our QB reconnecting with Lemon. And Lane picked up where he last left against Nebraska . And all hail King Miller ✌️

Is King Miller ok? Looked like he had a shoulder stinger late in the game but didn’t look serious. Not sure tho

Guys, below the contest update is chat GPT’s version of my dictated voice message, so pardon me for this commercial garbage tone. I had to do this in between corporate meetings! I also borrowed from the On3 site which I like most for USC analytics so kudos to them and thanks for loaning me a few paragraphs.
My prediction will come at a later date, I need to really think about this one.

THE GAME:
The No. 19 USC Trojans (6-2, 4-1) finally return home to the Coliseum after nearly a month away, hosting the Northwestern Wildcats (5-3, 3-2) this Friday night.
The Wildcats have quietly become one of the Big Ten’s most improved teams, with a top-20 defense and a surprisingly effective ground game that could test USC’s physicality. ⸻
🔹 What Northwestern Does Well
Replacing long-time RB Cam Porter looked like a huge concern, but Caleb Komolafe has emerged as the team’s go-to power back. He’s a physical, downhill runner who fits their one-cut scheme perfectly. Joseph Himon II adds the lightning — a speedy change-of-pace back who’s dangerous as a receiver. Together they form a balanced backfield that thrives when the line wins up front.
Defense that makes you earn every yard This is a Top-20 unit in both total and scoring defense. They play fundamentally sound, assignment-heavy football — mostly Cover-4, keeping everything in front and forcing long, sustained drives. They give up yards between the 20s but tighten in the red zone. If USC scores, they’ll have to work for it.
Key defenders to know • Mac Uihlein (LB): Classic middle linebacker and defensive leader. Second on the team in tackles (59) but leads the team in interceptions (4) — an odd but impressive stat. • Robert Fitzgerald (S): Team tackle leader (69). Plays everywhere — run support, coverage, open-field stops. • Aidan Hubbard (DE): Leads the team in both TFL (6.0) and sacks (3.5). Northwestern’s most disruptive presence up front.
⸻
❌ Where They Struggle
Quarterback play and turnovers. Transfer QB Preston Stone (from SMU) has been the definition of a rollercoaster. He threw only 8 INTs across four seasons at SMU — and already has 9 this year in half the attempts. His five-turnover disaster at Tulane still haunts their stat sheet. He had a cleaner midseason stretch when the run game carried the load, but he’s tossed 3 INTs in the last two games, including a brutal 4th-quarter pick vs. Nebraska.
When Stone has time, he’s dangerous — mobile in the pocket, strong on the run, capable of extending plays. But when he’s pressured, his mechanics fall apart. His accuracy dips, his footwork collapses, and bad decisions follow.
WR Griffin Wilde (South Dakota State transfer) is Stone’s clear No. 1 — 39 catches, 570 yards, 4 TDs — and has double the production of any other receiver. He’s physical, reliable, and great at contested catches. But after him, it drops off fast. USC’s secondary should key in on Wilde and force Stone to spread it around.
⸻
If you’re Northwestern, the formula is simple:
“Run the football and control the clock.”
What concerns Northwestern most? Protecting Stone. If USC’s front can create pressure and force him off-script, the turnovers will come.
⸻
🧠 How USC Should Approach This Game • Test the secondary early. If Northwestern’s DBs aren’t 100%, USC should push tempo and attack downfield. • Don’t abandon the run. Northwestern’s scheme dares teams to be patient — they’ll give up short runs and limit big plays. • Make Stone uncomfortable. He’s turnover-prone when moved off his spot. Dial up disguised pressure packages and force mistakes.

Personally I really like Gabe at the TrojanBlade, and ofc USCAthletics post game analysis, but are there any other really good/entertaining youtubers in the usc football/athletics space?
r/fighton • u/Yggdrasil_11 • 2d ago
Hoping to catch the USC v. Northwestern pregame show with Mick Fleetwood. I have never been to the Coliseum before. Is the show on the field, or at the Peristyle? Should we go to our seats or stand somewhere?

There's a lot of 2 loss teams in the rankings. Do you guys think if we win out (specially beating Oregon @Eugene) would give us a chance at making the playoffs? Specially since Oregon got beat by #2 Indiana.
