On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern Riley Sager are in studio to breakdown the Trojans breaking down in Madison, falling to Wisconsin 24-7. It was a pathetic attempt at playing tackle football in all three phases of the game and afterwards head coach Lincoln Riley admitted as much, saying how disappointing it was and that they "Just flat out didn't play good enough on any of the three sides of the ball." With a week off to heal up following an impressive road performance in Happy Valley, USC looked like it had taken a couple of months off, flew in on the early morning redeye and maybe had a few too many adult beverages the night before.

From the opening whistle until UW lined up in the victory formation, the Trojans were pushed around and beaten up by the Badgers. Certainly there were issues on defense and special teams, but for a Riley offense to have 92 total yards at halftime and score just 7 points for the first time in his career as a head coach was absolutely shocking.

Sitting at 6-2, USC's championship window is still technically open, but that would require the Trojans winning out and beating three top-10 teams. Even if SC is able to rally and take down a Julian Sayin-less Ohio State squad on Saturday, this team just doesn't seem capable of carrying that momentum over into the next game. The seat of Lincoln Riley couldn't be any hotter, and the crew talks about what realistic options athletic director Jen Cohen has if the Trojans can't pull off a miracle late season rally against the toughest part of the schedule.
