USC Is Better Than That 42-26 Score Makes You Think | Week 0 Reactions

About this episode

Big Ten football news: USC football, Jayden Maiava, Trent Mosley, Lincoln Riley, San Jose State, Josh Hoover, Sonny Dykes, TCU and North Carolina. USC's 42-26 win looked messy late—but the Trojans' starters told a very different story.

Jon Rhoades and Zack Gugenheim break down why USC's offensive line, running game, young receivers and starting defense created real optimism despite the fourth-quarter problems. Plus, did Sonny Dykes make a mistake publicly criticizing Josh Hoover? TCU scored just 10 points in its loss to North Carolina, raising an uncomfortable question about whether Hoover was really the biggest problem in Fort Worth.
