Turnover-machine Sam Darnold — a FORMER Heisman frontrunner — choked again this week, failing miserably to live up to the hype, in a 49-14 annihilation by Notre Dame. The embarrassing “Catholic Catheter” loss plummeted the trojans 11 spots in the polls, out of the Top 20, and permanently out of the Playoff conversation.
Sc was down 28-0 before halftime, and it didn’t get any better. ND was never threatened, and the hopes of trojan fans died two hours later. With all that talent, it’s starting to look like Head Coach Clay Helton is not all he’s cracked up to be.
