Misery Index · Uneasy
A 16-point win over San José State, and the room is already writing eulogies for the second string.
What happened
USC opened with a 42-26 win over San José State and somehow left the building grumbling. The turning point wasn't a touchdown; it was the moment the starters came off and the fourth quarter turned into a scrimmage the Trojans were losing. "Putrid fourth QTR .. our second strings are bad," one fan noted, while another settled on "our second/third string defense is really, really rough lol," that laugh doing a lot of heavy lifting. A 1-0 start, and the depth chart is already the story.
