The USC Trojans appear to have a Utah problem.
The Pac-12 conference has a cannibalism problem.
Once again, it was only one win that separated a Pac-12 team from making it to the College Football Playoff game. If the No. 4 USC Trojans were able to pull out a victory over the No. 11 Utah Utes on Friday night in the conference title game, they would have guaranteed a spot in the CFP.
So what did they do? Lose by a final score of 47-24.
Of course, USC QB Caleb Williams suffered an injury midway through the game that severely limited him throughout the contest.
Man, it really stinks when that happens, doesn’t it? Just ask Bo Nix.
Of course, there was also a lot of ridicule after the fact.
A lot of that ridicule came from the Oregon Ducks fan base, which has been down bad in the past couple of weeks after losing to both Washington and Oregon State, seeing their once-promising season come to a tough close. Misery loves company.
Oregon fans also know how USC fans are feeling at the moment, after they lost to Utah twice last season, ending their hopes to make it to the playoff.
Thay didn’t stop Duck fans from completely roasting the trojans on Friday night. Here are some of the best reactions online.
