Every time College GameDay mentioned USC Trojans in Week 5

Every time College GameDay mentioned USC Trojans in Week 5

The USC Trojans weren’t a hot topic on ESPN’s College Game Day. The team didn’t mention the Trojans or pick their game against Wisconsin. The Trojans and Badgers are 2-1 after last week’s loss.

Can USC bounce back?

The USC Trojans got off to a perfect 2-0 start to their season, defeating No. 13 LSU in week one and posting a shutout win over Utah State the following week.

After a bye week, the Trojans suffered a heartbreaking loss on the road to the Michigan Wolverines. After the 27-24 loss to the Wolverines, USC fell from No. 11 to No. 13 in the country. In this loss, USC struggled to control the line of scrimmage. Can they get back on track by hosting Wisconsin?

“College Gameday Crew Not Picking USC vs. Wisconsin”

College GameDay was live from Tuscaloosa, Alabama for the showdown of No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 4 Alabama. The GameDay team of Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban and guest selector Nick Saban’s wife Ms. Terry selected a number of games for Saturday.

However, the USC vs. Wisconsin game was not one of them. USC wasn’t discussed at all during the entire three-hour show.

Former Alabama legend, coach Nick Saban, addressed the issue of zero and player pay. Saban believes players should be given benefits, but also points out that improvements need to be made in how college football is run.

“Players deserve to get paid.” Saban said: “But we need a system. . . . There must be federal legislation. Right now, state by state, it’s about how you run your program.”

There is no governing body in college football. Saban believes that needs to change.

Saban also talked about how while it is important for players to get paid, education should also be a priority.

“We don’t have a system that emphasizes education,” says Saban, “20% fewer players are graduating now and they’ll be transferring three or four times.” . . The future will have consequences.”

Saban also talked about how money can make the college experience worse.

“We want the college experience to be about players choosing where they actually want to be, not just who pays them the most money,” Saban said.
