This loss was on sellers.

the 4&G from the 9 1Q that Shane went for after we picked off Taylor's first pass of the game -

Sellers threw the worst pass ever into 2 MSU defenders standing 5 yards in front of him - a 3rd defender the CB would've picked it off at the goal line if the LB didn't - but LB did -

play was overturned for a PF flag on MSU hands to the face -

I had one last hope of Briles and his QB friendly version of veer & shoot that could fix Sellers - but it's done - 16 is cooked - MSU went 3-3-5 most of the 2H daring him to throw anything other than a check down - which is all he threw - otherwise there would have been more turnovers on lobbed awkward mid-range passes -

Beamer sealed the loss by not giving Woods at least one series 3Q after Sellers first of 2 consecutive INTs -

also - Max Kelly should never kick off again for USC - the kickoff OOB to start 3Q unforgivable -

His two picks on our side of the field that msu cashed in for points were literally the difference in the game.

You dont win many games allowing 41 points....If we average 34 points for the year we should win 10 games. Its on defense to not give up 41

To the OP's point, it doesn't help the defense when we give them the ball at our 30.

Very true, but once they popped the lid off with their 2 or 3 play drive (40+ yard run followed a nice throw for a long TD) it felt like it didnt matter much where they got the ball, they scored way too easily.
