Oh my god.. **** off Vincenzo

Geez. Another missed FG.

lol.

This looks familiar again

that dude is on scholly?

D'Amato HAS to be replaced.

We might as well go for it until it is a 20 yard FG.

Four in a row.....not good. Kid couldn't hit f*'ing water if he fell out of a boat! Hopefully we can get him some confidence soon.

Why can't we recruit a decent D1 quality kicker???

Time to line up for the field goal!

Hate to tell this to Tedford, but he's going to have to abandon the field goal for the rest of the season unless he has another kicker. That kick pretty much shows that D'amato has lost all confidence.

Unfortunately, Tedford isn't going to accept that fact and I expect another 10-15 attempts, with less than 5 made. :headbang

Couldn't really see the kick. Was it at least close?

Sorry but this guy needs to be sat down. Its just embarrassing. There's no hiding it.

It's good Tedford has faith in his players, but it may be time to start looking at another option for kicking fg's

now please

Whew

wide right, it didn't hook at all.

We are getting SO LUCKY. Cannot believe how many passes they are dropping in the open field.

This might be the worst secondary in Teddy's era

It's Steve Sax syndrome.

Where is biggs???!!!!

It looks like the idea with the offense is to try to tire out USC's front 7. I understand that they don't have a lot of scholarship players there right now.

Good idea, but we need points.

Wide right by 10 yards.

Sure, in the same way that Nebraska is close to California.

D'Amato is probably a solid kid but he is failing to perform on the field and simply must be replaced. Even if the next kid is a worse kicker it is time to keep running people out there until someone does it when it matters. This is beyond ugly.

He's been in once for a screen that USC snuffed out. Bigelow caught the ball, but got 0 YAC.

We need to be lining Bigelow up as an RB much more.

but remember this is Tedford, by far the worst offensive minded coach in the conference. He always misuses his best players.

True.
And yet JT continues to be quoted in the Sports page during the week about how well D'Amato is kicking the ball during practice!
It's NOT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN PRACTICE JT!!! Stop pulling the Nate Longshore BS Part #2! Look at the PERFORMANCE on the FIELD!!!

We are waiting for those special 4 plays.......

You know, the ones where we need 40 yards?

Hill is having a terrible game. Looks very slow, out of position, can't tackle worth crap, and is getting beat.

Its psychological. He is off and probably won't get it back. Bottom line is that he needs to be benched. Its not fair to him to be trotted out. Every miss is a dagger. He is way off.

Tedford, if you're a decent coach - bench D'Amato. Its not fair to the team. He is just simply not college level.

At least 10 yards.
Maybe even 15.

Another nice run by ZM.

I don't think performance in the field in games really registers with Tedford. It's become increasingly clear that he is lost during games, unable to remember down/distance/clock management/ etc.

I suspec that he gets so involved in each individual play that he doesn't really pay attention to individual play at all. So he relies on player performances in practice as his only metric for who to play and what plays to call.

It's a huge part of why I want Tedford removed as a head coach.

Looks like Maynard is taking things into his own hands.

absolutely atrocious OL play right now.

Nice conversion there

That's our gameplan. Go for it on 4th...

Tedford actually went for it!
