This is true, however outside of their @ BYU loss, they lost to Washington, Notre Dame, and Oregon. The teams handing them some of their losses were pretty good and Notre Dame and Oregon recruit just as well if not better than USC.I'm not a fan of a blue blood school, but I got to imagine it would be pretty hard to watch your team go 8-5 or 9-4 every year when they start 7 AJ Epenesa's basically and then 12 other 4* along side those 7 5* guys. I'm never going to say that about any other coach anywhere, but I do think if you are a blue blood that recruits at a top 5/10 level nearly every year 8 or 9 wins isn't good enough.
