What if USC beats LSU in Week 1? ๐Ÿคจ | Always College Football

what happens if USC beats LSU in week one now so much offse about this game how USC has been trying to get out of it since Lincoln Riley got the job and this has been that and this has been this like I don't really care it just doesn't bother me like if I were Lincoln Riley I wouldn't want to play the game either if I were Brian Kelly I don't know if I'd want to play the game like that's a tough game week one you don't know what you got going against an offense it's super Dynamic what if your defense isn't ready I mean we're going to overreact to whatever happens in this game if LSU beats USC or if USC beats LSU and the final score is 5652 which wouldn't really surprise anybody then the immediate reaction is oh well the de Anon Lyn experiment at defensive coordinator for SC didn't work oh well the Blake Baker experiment at LSU same problems that they had before nothing's changed there's going to be strong over reaction in this game as well but if USC beats LSU wouldn't that cool things off a little bit for Lincoln Riley now whoever ends up being the quarterback let's just operate right now under the assumption that it's Miller Moss whoever ends up being the quarterback people have always said well Lincoln Riley is only one with first overall picks at quarterback he's only one with Baker and Kyler and Caleb but wouldn't this prove that clearly the system is tried and true and that the guy can win with whoever and maybe he can still recruit super Elite Talent at difference making positions offensively now look at their offense guys they're going to be very difficult to defend so if SC beats LSU you know what that probably means it means Zachariah Branch probably created a couple of big explosive plays and there's some Buzz already coming out of LSU's camp that they've given up some big plays in the passing game probably means that Duce Robinson their 6 foot6 weap that's now moved to wide receiver he's probably caught a couple of one-on-one jump balls probably means that they went to the other Trio of wide receivers that are all excellent jacobe Lane kyen Hudson maai lemon means that those guys probably went off and these guys are blue chip prospects and they're going against the defense that has questions so it means that they probably won in a shootout and a track beat and while I think if SC beats them in more conventional score say 3531 will the reaction about their defense's challenges still be pretty much the same probably people probably say well the de Anon Lyn they're still going to have to win with offense they're still going to have to win track meets they're still going to have to win and and it's not going to be the improved defense that you would expect well maybe you should just give an de Anon Lynn time Danon Lyn took UCLA for 92nd in scoring 117th and negative play rate and 97th in qbr all the way to 14th Fifth and 19th respectively that's pretty good that's pretty good over the course of a very short period of time lcol Riley also packed the staff he went out and got Doug Bel who was the defensive coordinator at Houston he went out and got North Dakota head St uh State head coach Matt ens they went out and got NFL defensive line coach from the Los Angeles Rams who's coached Aaron Donald for the last couple years they've stocked the staff so if things don't look great week one does that mean they won't look great week eight I don't think that's necessarily true because that group will likely improve as the season goes along so I think if SC beats LSU it's probably going to have to be in a high-scoring affair because I love LSU's offense and I love USC's Personnel offensively but we're probably going to draw some major conclusions based on what LSU's defense didn't do and what USC's defense didn't do as well
