Holy moly. Los Angeles college football has become a clown car this year. USC’s defense can’t stop anybody, and UCLA’s offense is a disaster. Lincoln Riley and Chip Kelly have teams in 2023 which know how to do one thing, but not anything else. Lincoln Riley can call offensive plays and create high-scoring games, but his defense and special teams aren’t good. Chip Kelly has a really good UCLA defense this season, but his offense and special teams aren’t good.
This creates a situation in which the UCLA-USC game will be a battle of teams with contrasting styles and huge weaknesses.
It’s painful for USC and UCLA fans, but if you’re willing to step back, you can see how comedic this all is. Los Angeles college football is made for anyone who has a sense of humor and can appreciate a good joke, as you can see below:
CONTRAST!
What a matchup next week.
USC’s horrendous defense vs. UCLA’s offense that somehow might be worse under offensive mastermind Chip Kelly in his sixth year leading the charge.

BATTLE OF MID
BRAIN BUSTER

UNITY!
OH NO
FULL SCALE!
Column from earlier: college football gods got jokes.
The Bruins have the defense the Trojans need. And USC has the offense UCLA needs.
Like a mirror image: identical, but backward. All gas, all gas. All brakes, all brakes. Nothing in moderation.https://t.co/PNa6QRlhtG

PLOT TWIST
USC is going to lose to the No. 6 team in the country on the road by fewer points than we just lost to a 2-7 team at home.
