Reign of Troy Radio on USC Football

Reign of Troy Radio returns with a Carcast to react to Notre Dame's throttling of the Trojans in South Bend.
The Trojans got shellacked by the Fighting Irish, losing in embarrassing fashion, 49-14. Michael and Alicia talk about the game and what went rig--- errrr, wrong for USC and so much more.Who and what are to blame for the outcome? Was it turnovers again? Was it poor play from quarterback Sam Darnold? Was it Clancy Pendergast's defense? Was it injuries on the defensive line? To Iman Marshall? Poor coaching? Tee Martin's play calling? A really good Notre Dame team? All of the above? RoT tries to sort it all out.Finally, the biggest question remains: Where does USC go from here? Could they still win the Pac-12? Will they? Can they? What's a reasonable bowl game? Michael and Alicia try to conjure up some thoughts on the Trojans' future.
