Watch Bill Plaschke, Gary Klein, Lindsey Thiry discuss USC’s Week 1
USC won big in its opener, defeating Fresno State, 52-13. Bill Plaschke, Gary Klein and Lindsey Thiry discuss Week 1 for the Trojans.
The distractions USC overcame Saturday to defeat Fresno State, 52-13, seemed extraordinary. But for a program that’s known nothing but turmoil the last two years, it was just another game at the Coliseum.
Times sports columnist Bill Plaschke joins beat reporter Gary Klein and myself to discuss the Trojans’ Week 1.
The rundown:
- How were off-field distractions a nonissue?
- The new up-tempo offense: was it effective and fun?
- Winning solves problems, but does it make the Josh Shaw situation go away?
- Looking ahead, USC at Stanford in Week 2.
