On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Chris Trevino and intern Riley Sager are back in studio recapping what was another impressive performance in the Coliseum, a 38-17 victory over Northwestern on Friday night. The Trojans and Wildcats were close in the first half, but an amazing defensive play by Jayden Maiava gave USC new life and sparked a 14-point swing. In the second half the Trojan defense took over, allowing only a lone field goal after the break. The crew gives their thoughts on the Trojan offense getting things rolling again, with Jayden Maiava back to his old form, King Miller rushing for over 100-yards in his first Coliseum start and Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane both bringing their 'A' games. On the defensive side, it was a rough start after Northwestern scored touchdowns on its first two drives, but after that the USC defense was able to tighten up and keep the Wildcats out of the end zone, only allowing 3 points the rest of the way. They also discuss where the 7-2 (5-1) Trojans are in the Big Ten standings, with a legitimate shot at the College Football Playoffs if they can win out. The road gets tougher over the next couple of weeks, with a tough Iowa squad coming to the Coliseum followed by a difficult road trip to Eugene to take on the No. 9 Oregon Ducks.

Men's Basketball vs Oakland Starts at :53 Everyone said "nice" at the halftime of this game. At first it didn't seem like the results meant much because Oakland looked really bad, but then they went and had a close game against Purdue. How much can you gather about Michigan fromhere? Trey McKenney was 6-8 from three and looked the part. He also had four assists and no turnovers, there were some Darius Morris qualities about him. Do they go with the very big rotation with Yaxel out? Will Tschetter seems to get more minutes when Yaxel is out, would like to see him step up as a four year player. Wake Forest was a bubble team last year and look like one this year, that game will tell us more about Michigan. 2. Previewing Men's Basketball in the Big Ten Starts at 21:31 In reverse Kenpom order Penn State They're bad. Rutgers How is this team even going to score a basket? They have seven teams scheduled in the 200s. Minnesota Niko Medved's first year at Minnesota, but the roster does not look good. They'll compete with Rutgers and Penn State for the bottom spot. Oregon 35th in the preseason but have fallen considerably after a one point win over Hawaii and a four point win over Rice. They have a transfer from Elon, the Oregon NIL budget must be focusing on football. Maryland The only Big Ten team with a loss. They shot terribly against Georgetown and were only in it because they scored 30 points off of free throws. Northwestern They bring back Nick Martinelli, the guy who makes the worst shots you've ever seen (complimentary). They've blown out Mercyhurst and Boston, which would be impressive if it was hockey. Their center looks like Elvis. Washington Very young team starting two freshmen and two sophomores. Nebrasketball Sam Hoiberg is still playing a majority of minutes, but at least the mustache is gone. They bring in the Icelandic Unicorn. Iowa Ben McCollum's first year. Tavion Banks looked great at Drake last year but will probably hit a wall against the Big Ten. Ohio State They beat IU Indianapolis 118-102, eek. They've retained a few players which is a big thing in college basketball now. Michigan State More continuity and the best win in the Big Ten so far (69-66 over Arkansas). They're very experienced. They were awful at three point shooting a year ago and so far they're at 20% this year. This doesn't seem like a team that's going to win the league by three games but they didn't look like that last year. Indiana Year one for Darian DeVries. They bring in a lot of new players and we don't know what to expect. This team is loaded with seniors. They're going to do what they do and then go away. UCLA Mick Cronin is awesome, actually. How can a team starting Xavier Booker at center be? They have shooting but defense and rebounding are big questions. What if Mick Cronin yells at them more? USC Hey it's Terrance Williams. USC is surprisingly putting together a basketball program. Wisconsin They're 18th in Kenpom and looking at the roster doesn't make sense. There's no bench, either. Purdue They bring back Braden Smith and Trey Kaufman-Renn. Fletcher Loyer is also back. Their 10 point win over Oakland was awkward. Jack Benter is an interesting freshman at guard. You can't second guess Matt Painter but they're missing their classic giant center that they build around. Illinois This team is huge. They absolutely blew out Jackson State and Florida Gulf Coast. Pronounce Ivisic, or Petrovic, or Stojakovic, or Jakstsys. 3. Hot Takes and Hockey Updates Starts at 1:15:30 Takes hotter than the opposite of Kinnick Stadium, that looked miserable. Michigan split with Wisconsin over the weekend in a return to reality series. But it felt like worse than a split for what got exposed. Michigan couldn't get out of their zone but most teams on the schedule won't be able to replicate what Wisconsin did. Goalie Jack Ivankovic also just had a bad weekend which happens. Friday was such a fun game that was getting ruined by piped in music. They're being told to turn it down. Wisconsin seemed to really get under Michigan's skin and the frustration came out. The Big Ten is one of the best hockey leagues in the world and the league barely broadcasts games. 4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:45:28 Indiana 27, Penn State 24 Absolutely bonkers ending. The final two catches were amazing. This game raised questions about Indiana's ability to block next-level guys. Mendoza was pressured on 50% of dropbacks. Penn State did start the season with a group of players you would've thought would do that, though. All Penn State quarterbacks are now "The Grunk". Indiana was 2-25 against Penn State coming into this game and this was their first ever win in Happy Valley, the feels are still amazing for Hoosiers fans. Oregon 18, Iowa 16 Oregon went into Kinnick during a rain storm and got almost the full Iowa experience (except that the safety happened to Iowa). The only stat that matters is that Oregon survived a November night(ish) game in Kinnick, survive and advance in that scenario. Wisconsin 13, Washington 10 Played in similar conditions as Oregon vs Iowa, except this game sucked! Wisconsin's lead passer was the punter. This was a Big Ten West game and someone had to lose. If this wasn't in a sleet storm then Demond Williams probably gets more than 134 passing yards. Nebraska 28, UCLA 21 Nebraska QB TJ Lateef goes 13/15 for 205 yards and 3 touchdowns. Dylan Raiola who? This was a very Big Ten game with limited possessions because both teams ran the ball a lot. Nebraska goes through so many running backs but might've finally found a guy. Rutgers 35, Maryland 20 Rutgers' running back Antwan Raymond rushed for 240 yards but Rutgers got outrushed. Maryland had six explosive plays and had a -0.4 EPA outside of those. Rutgers rescued their bowl hopes. USC 38, Northwestern 17 The boxscore is a blowout. USC had a fake punt pass that wasn't even legal. Why did they pull that out against Northwestern? It was close at the time. Ohio State 34, Purdue 10 merp MUSIC: "Feel For Love"—Michigan Rattlers "What's It All Mean"—Philharmonik "Sin Triangle"—Sidney Gish “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra
Week 11 has wrapped up and it provided some thrilling finishes for a couple of Top 10 teams. Penn State brought #2 Indiana down to the wire. The undefeated Hoosiers may have suffered their first loss if not for a heroic final drive from Fernando Mendoza. The drive culminated in an unbelievable catch by Omar Cooper Jr., who barely kept his foot in, to score the eventual game winning touchdown with 36 seconds left. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss if such a close game to a struggling Penn State team should create any room for concern with this Indiana team. Then they dive into the other matchup that came down to the final seconds. This one was a Top 20 matchup in the pouring rain between #9 Oregon and #20 Iowa. The home-team Hawkeyes took the lead late. That set the stage for an impressive final drive by Dante Moore and Oregon to kick a game-winning field goal with three seconds remaining. The guys discuss how they feel about Oregon coming off of this win. They also discuss #8 Texas Tech's dominant win over #7 BYU. How do they feel about the Red Raiders going forward? Plus, is there a legitimate chance the ACC could end up with no teams in the College Football Playoff?Later, Ross reports big news coming out of the Big Ten as their discussion about private equity appears to be nearing a decision. Michigan and USC remain steadfast in their opposition to any deal, but a vote is scheduled for November 21st. If Michigan or USC decide not to sign, the rest of the schools in the Big Ten will move along on the deal without them. What could this mean for the future of not only Michigan, but the entirety of the college football landscape? The guys discuss how this could all potentially play out.Then, they look to Week 12. The final few weeks of the regular season are inching closer, which means each game begins to add a little more pressure. The guys look at games that have huge impacts on both conference and playoff races. #11 Texas visits #5 Georgia, #12 Oklahoma plays #4 Alabama and #10 Notre Dame faces off with #24 Pittsburgh. How could we see the playoff race change after Week 12?The guys discuss all of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.(1:13) - #2 Indiana survives at Penn State(8:24) - Could the ACC miss the playoff?(15:41) - #9 Oregon survives in Iowa(21:50) - Wisconsin upsets #23 Washington(25:26) - #8 Texas Tech dominates #7 BYU(32:16) - Big Ten moving forward with private equity?(52:47) - Week 12 games with Playoff implications Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio previewing an important Fright night home contest against Northwestern. Lead by head coach David Braun, the upstart Wildcats are 5-3 (3-2 in Big Ten play) and had one four-straight games before falling in a close one to Nebraska. The Trojans are coming off a late night win in Lincoln and have a short week to prepare for Northwestern, a program travelling a couple thousand miles to Los Angeles but is also fully rested after a bye week. USC leads the series 5-0 with the last meeting being the 1995 Rose Bowl, a game the Trojans won 41-32. The crew takes a look at some of the key matchups in the game and talk about some of the similarities between the Wildcats and the Cornhuskers. Northwestern has a very effective run game like Nebraska, and both programs excel in pass defense. We saw what the Huskers were able to do to Jayden Maiava, but will the Wildcats be able to do something similar? They also discuss some of the rumors circling around head coach Lincoln Riley regarding the ever turning college football coaching carousel, what it means for the USC/Notre Dame series with the Irish scheduling a home and home with Auburn and the Trojans No. 19 ranking in the college football playoff rankings.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his picks for the biggest games of the weekend as the race for Playoffs spots heats up. He begins by previewing his game on Big Noon Saturday as #2 Indiana takes on the team that began the season at #2, Penn State. He then makes his picks in a pivotal Big Ten matchup as #9 Oregon faces a difficult road trip at Kinnick Stadium against #20 Iowa. Klatt also makes his pick in the Top-10 matchup between the 2 favorites in the Big 12 as #7 BYU faces #8 Texas Tech. He wraps up his picks by considering whether we should expect a bounce back effort from LSU as they play their first game since the firing of Brian Kelly against #4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. 0:00-2:17 Intro2:18-10:04 Indiana vs. Penn State10:05-13:52 Oregon vs. Iowa13:53-16:39 BYU vs. Texas Tech16:40-21:30 Texas A&M vs. Missouri21:31-24:29 LSU vs. Alabama Learn more about your ad choices.

Holbrook, Ted Happy Thursday! Adam King left his wallet so we check it out, ESPN Bet is dead, MNF ratings down due to YouTube TV/ESPN dispute, we go Around the Big Ten with ESPNs Adam Rittenberg, we recap the Ryan Day show, Man really hates Money Ball & we play some fun audio on a Too Hot Thursday!
Things Discussed: Bryce Underwood: Progress isn't linear. Jordan Marshall and the offensive line: The redshirt freshmen will save us! They're already playing at close to a Big Ten level. Defense: Purdue was very college crappe. I asked them to be vanilla, they were, and I'll take my lumps. Mad at special teams for not putting them back enough because the way Purdue plays they need to be able to take a TFL or a sack, or need to have a 4th down strategy. We're rotating an extreme amount, also there are extreme levels of injury: Any team that loses Rolder, Sullivan, and Barham isn't going to be great at LB. Protected the kids by blitzing them. Vance disappointed in the DTs: they were in the wrong gap sometimes on those LB blitzes. I saw Pierce do that once in the 1st half, haven't gotten to the 2nd half yet. DTs to me are Benny & Pierce, then a big gap to a lot of innings eaters, where Etta is more of a pass-rush option and Payne, Williams and Ike. You're playing a tempo team and they're only in there for three snaps. Running the DTs on and off the field is wearing them out as much as playing. Three snaps is three deadlifts of a 300-pound guy, then you're sprinting a 300+ pound body off the field. Too much rotation: They got on a 19-play drive with a quarter break and at no point in that drive did Michigan have their best available players on the field at over 50% of the spots. Brandt is not on Moore's or Guy's level. Ratios are way off. Brandt plays as much as Derrick, more than Guy. Are guys going to leave if they don't get PT? That's true but 1) That doesn't explain having starters playing 40% of snaps, 2) That's not the culture of this program. The culture of this program wasn't "You get yours" it was "Egos don't matter as much as the Team." That 2023 team had multiple "starters" because Harrell and Stewart could both play at a high level, sophomore D-Mo and McGregor could both play at a high level. If it's a program goal to get guys snaps against Purdue, go and beat Purdue first and then when you're up three touchdowns get your guys in. Offense and Bryce: He's young and doing young guy things like fleeing the pocket and forcing throws he's used to throwing. He had a terrible half and a decent half. Can't really blame Chip because he's giving him the reads, e.g. a wheel to Klein that takes advantage of Purdue taking away screens, and he throws it at Klein's feet. Also: he doesn't have receivers who make those plays for him when they're there. Klein should have caught that ball. Semaj had another one whistle through his hands. McCauley didn't adjust to a ball in the endzone. Go watch any freshman QB and you see the same things: Watch JJ in 2021. Watch Gardner when he was young. Go under center? Might help the run game but Crimes Against Man Panda. Craig talks about the 1939 Bears. Men's Hoops: Oakland was bad. Open corners were just there, they were missing two players, run a complicated zone with a new team. Trey McKinney is a knockdown shooter, and he has a little Darrius Morris (RIP) in his game. He's not Mike Smith, won't have short-arm turnovers. Good sign he can use his long arms productively. Cadeau: Wonder if he's going to have more TOs against Wake Forest. If he can keep turnovers under control this team will be very good. Defense has a very high floor. Michigan has three bigs instead of two this year, means their second-best lineup won't be a massive drop from their best. Didn't have Cason, might be that sixth guy of the year (or your starting two?) who can be Plan B for point guard and competently relieve Roddy when they full-court press him. Solution for press: Mara? Just have the freaky tall guy pass it without putting the ball on the floor. Women's Hoops: Very interesting team. They're five-out, swarming. Lots and lots of turnovers.
In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods talk about week ten in the Big Ten that included No. 1 Ohio State tearing the heart out of Penn State, leaving the Nittany Lions winless in conference play heading into November. The No. 19 ranked Trojans didn't play a clean game, but it was clean enough to take down Nebraska in Lincoln.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the first set of College Football Playoff Rankings and gives his biggest takeaways. He points out how the Committee is telling us that Texas is in a great position to make the field and may not even need to win the rest of their games to do so. He also breaks down why the Big 12 should feel really good about getting multiple bids while the ACC is not so fortunate. Klatt applauds the committee for their valuation of the second tier of the Big Ten and lays out how the Committee has shown that a 4th spot for the Big Ten is there for the taking. He wraps up the show by making his picks for which team inside the current bracket could find itself on the outside by season's end and which team currently on the outside is going to be playing football in the College Football Playoff when it's all set in December. 0:00-2:19 Intro2:20-4:10 Klatt reacts to the first set of CFP rankings for 20254:11-9:30 Surprised Texas is #11 despite recent close games?9:31-14:18 Will the Big 12 get multiple CFP bids?14:19-18:46 How should the Big Ten feel about getting a fourth team into the CFP?18:47-21:17 The committee hates the ACC21:18-27:24 Who could fall out & who has the best chance to jump into the bracket?
