You need counseling. You want harm to come to some kid just because he left your favorite team? Fanatical obsession is not good for you. He’s a kid!
I’m wishing injury with a hard sack? Definitely not, but a hard, clean sack x 5 in a game we aren’t supposed to win. I hope our staff is thinking this way instead of pretending he’s wearing a green jersey.

I have no ill will. He played good Saturday as I mentioned in this very thread and I like our guy better. I hope we hit him (insert any qb we face) hard and blitz often.

With our staff understanding what Dylan can and can’t do well- we should have a great game plan in place for that game. 25 games. plus and all the inside intangibles. Could be pretty helpful. Hope we have some junk defense sets to really confuse Riola

If USC had a full week to prepare for Dylan. And Lincoln Riley is not a defensive minded coach. USC would have had a different game plan in place .

I don’t hate on Dylan. I appreciate him coming here. While not everything was awesome, the positive easily out weighs the negative. Unfortunately his time here included his uncle coaching OL. But Dylan wasn’t calling that shot. At this moment, it feels like him moving on has been a win-win. We are on independent paths, except for that one game.

A full week to prepare versus 2 plus years 25 games and hundreds and hundreds of hours of practice . Knowledge of his strengths and weaknesses to the nth degree. Lincoln Riley isnt known for his defensive prowess and he doesn’t have the intimate knowledge of Dylan’s psyche, weaknesses, tendancies . How would usc know all of Dylan’s process of analyzing defenses and changing plays? In the right hands- very valuable info. Dana, Rhule and Snow know much more about Riola than Riley. Hopefully they can put that info to good use. Bait him by showing him looks he likes for certain concepts - then sit on what Dylan moves the play to or what he likes to do. Force Dylan to move out of the pocket, take away the little outlet passes and mix up and disguise coverages- you know - the stuff he really struggled with. Force him to do the things Hes not good at and doesn’t like doing.

We shall see. His performance against USC gives me pause. He was right about one thing. Oregon has more talent than us especially in their O line. It’s possible that Dante Moore is back by our game.
