I think the Beavs can cover the 25 point spread. They haven't played in two weeks and I bet Riley has coached them up the whole time regarding the Trojans. I'm not a Oregon State nuthugger by any means but Mike Riley is a helluva good coach. He spent some time at USC if I recall correctly - right before he took the OSU job the first time.

Anyway, I wouldn't be shocked if they lose big but I think a confidence building win over Hawaii plus the off week may help them here. I like their midget roly-poly QB a lot - he's like Todd Reesing except sixty pounds heavier. SC struggles a couple of times a year for some strange reason and I can see this and Stanford being their two rough games (both roadies) since they get Oregon and ASU at home.

normally, i would agree with that. but...

1. SC hasn't played in 2 weeks
2. SC lost last time they were in Corvallis
3. Carroll has this team conscious of their previous slip ups against inferior pac-10 teams

...while that doesn't necessarily = an SC blowout, i have a feeling it will.

[johngateswhiteley]

You are WACK if you think SC is going to into Corvallis and blow the Beavs out! We are going to give your boys a Quizz!

you already predicted Oregon/Oregon State (i don't remember which one) to beat SC...hit the alarm clock old man.

[johngateswhiteley]

although...oregon state has won 2 of the last 33. so...thats good.

[KewlKat00]

Mike Riley is a helluva good coach. He spent some time at USC if I recall correctly - right before he took the OSU job the first time.

you are correct. usc later went after him, before carroll. many people preferred him.

osu has a nice running back from texas too (jacquizz)... but i still don't think that helps them much. i expect a big win. this team is alot more focused than last year's team or even the year before that. i think sanchez is really responsible because he brings the hard work and emotion. anyway, i suppose this game could be closer because it is a thursday night game which is unusual, and they've had time to prepare. but i still look for arizona to be the toughest game (as i stated in the pick your team's record thread). they have played sc tough the past few times.

[lebomb]

35-14 Usc..............

[MajorMike]

I still think SC covers.

[tlongII]

It's going to be UNBEAVABLE!

[samikeyp]

It's going to be UNBEAVABLE!

Yes it is...the beat down SC is going to hand out will be UnBeavable! :lmao

[romad_20]

I can see this and Stanford being their two rough games


:lol rough?!?!?!

[johngateswhiteley]

weather seems to be holding up...looks like it will be clear throughout the game as well. :king

if i had to pick 2 games i think SC might struggle in, it would be Cal and @ uchla...depending on how uchla's season turns. with all the talk about oregon, arizona, and arizona state...i just don't see those games being anything but speed bumps.

that being said, nobody knows how to beat SC better than the Pac 10. our schedule would be easier if it was littered with non-conference top 25 teams...seriously.

[leemajors]

greatness.

QFT

[IronMexican]

Don't let this be one of those games we have every year.

[IronMexican]

Fuck. Don't choke, SC

[JamStone]

Interesting game so far.

[PeterBurns]

Oh Shit....14-0 Beavers.
It's F'n Christmas in September?

[romad_20]

I guess I was wrong. USC is the best!!

[PeterBurns]

21-0 at Half....Holy Hell.
This is making my night!!!!

[IceColdBrewski]

Did SC forget how to tackle? It's not as if the Beavers are beating them with gimmicks and trick plays. They're running the ball right down their throat.

[Thunder Dan]

Man Ohio State must really suck losing to these chumps- oh well

on the other side, Penn State must be really good

[Tradition]

SC will win this game. They havent shown up yet but they will with an easy 3 and out to start the 3rd. They will win. Best team in the country by far.

[PeterBurns]

Yep...21-7.....The tide is turning...BIG TIME.

USC is rolling!

[Flight3107]

Game over

SC is awake

[IronMexican]

fuck! I was shitting myself for a while. And Joe McKnight is no Reggie Bush(College Bush)

Unless there's some crazy shit again with all the top teams losing and some losing to nobodies, this has to knock USC out of the title game. Oregon State is a trash team, and you can't lose to a trash team. This would be like losing to Rice.

[JamStone]

I'm gonna be here:toast

Hey vato, Gates is puro panocha, siempre como una mujer.
Always jumping from team to team & rarely heard from when his "team(s)" lose.
Will probably try and claim the ags as his team this wk.

You & Kat are like 2 of the only true Trojan fans on this board.

Last year was a testament to that. OU isn't losing more than 1 game this year. I can see some SEC teams beating each other up though. And JGW was last online at 3:58 today, let's see how long till he logs on:lol

[leemajors]

greatness

[Whisky Dog]

OU will probably choke to someone like Tech or lose in the Big XII title game. Right now they're like Texas in that they haven't played anybody, so we don't know how good they really are. That Ragin' Injun might have a sophmore slump, but we'll find out soon.

[IronMexican]

I'm gonna watch some porn to cheer up. Peace out ST.

Getting the hair or nails done prob. :lol


Call me crazy but I seriously think with a healthy Beanie Wells & TP getting a few more weeks under his belt as a starter could also be back in the BCS hunt.

Texas is, and always will be my team.
This yr tho, I am really anxious to see a USC & tOSU rematch in FLA.

SC seems to have one of these games every season under Carroll. It was a classic early season trap game - well-coached team on a home week after a long layoff.

Worst part about the Trojans dropping one early is all the SEC cockswinging we're due for, especially if OU struggles with TCU. 1- Georgia 2- Florida 3- LSU? And in which order? LSU plays top ten Bama this week.

Dear Lord, what is ESPN going to do?
USC loses....

[Thunder Dan]

I missed my halftime line (OSU +14.5) thanks to that asshole missing the extra point


Dear Lord, what is ESPN going to do?
USC loses....

they will still be considered the best team in the country muchlike last year after the Stanford loss. They lost to Stanford and 2 weeks later it was no big deal- nobody could beat SC according to ESPN

[samikeyp]

Yes it is...the beat down SC is going to hand out will be UnBeavable! :lmao

Yes it is...how wrong I was is UnBeavable!!!! :lmao :lmao

tlong....:toast brother, well done.

jgw, joo got some 'splainin to do! :)

[j-6]

If that QB was listed at 5'10", the brothers from Houston (#1 and #8) are about 5'5" - 5'6", tops.

[sa_butta]

The Trojans just could not penetrate the Beavers end zone enough.
In the end the Trojans got ripped apart.

You could make a case for the MWC being stronger than the Pac 10 with BYU, TCU and Utah leading the pack. Hell, I think the WAC has more ranked teams than the Pac 10 - Fresno and Boise.

[JamStone]

I really didn't think JGW would hide ONCE AGAIN. I figured a little humility would finally find its way to that USC ego.

Still no sign of him, huh?

Not as of yet. Then again, its what he does.

[IronMexican]

uh oh, Tlong is in the thread

[tlongII]

tlong is out getting seriously f-d up. Expect a drunk post around 3 a.m. Pacific.

You got that right! Although I just made it in to work.

[tlongII]

The Beavers do this every year. They start slow and get better as the season progresses. That boy they got from your great state of Texas is UNBEAVABLE!

[JamStone]

But at least Mark Sanchez is the most prepared QB this Pete Carroll coaching staff has coached at USC.

[romad_20]

This is the best team Carroll has ever had at USC.

[johngateswhiteley]

...since when is drinking yourself into a comma and being away from spurstalk less than 15 hours after SC lost, hiding? everyone always talks about how i hide after big losses...but its never happened. why the confusion? i'll give you this...i do disappear after big wins and i tend to have a life outside of spurstalk. sorry.

as for the game...like i said, SC's schedule would be easier if it was littered with top 25 non-conference opponents. they just don't bring it every game...and you have to when you've owned a conference for so long, you're consistently in the top 5, and its everyone's super bowl when you come to town.

lets see if SC can make it back to the title game...long season. i cannot wait to play the beavers next year, though.

[romad_20]

its called an upset. you'd have to be mentally ill if you think oregon state is actually better than SC...then again your school doesn't have a football team, so i wouldn't expect you to understand.

That's interesting as what you just mentioned is a reflection more on the coach(es) than the players. Mental conditioning is every bit important as physical conditioning. I've always thought Pete was a decent coach, but he's been fortunate in having some of the best players under him.

I wonder if the Stanfords and Oregon States are exposing his (lack of) coaching ability a little bit more.

[Brutalis]

The SEC would like to say thanks. One of our big three are surely going to make it.

they don't appear to be mentally prepared for the weak teams...they beat top 25 teams worse than they beat in conference unranked teams. hard to get mad b/c of the success we've had, but its getting old.

[NoMoneyDown]

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/austin_murphy/09/26/usc/index.html?eref=si_writers

Not so shocking?!?! I heard in passing that this is the first time in 25-30 years that a team with a losing record has beaten the #1 team. I haven't checked this out myself, but if true would certainly tell me it was not only shocking, but probably ranks up there with some of the all-time shocking upsets.

[tlongII]

The Beavs were 1-2 and they won't have a losing record at the end of the season.

[brettn]

USC got their asses handed to them, anyone who watched the game can tell you that.

If you disagree you're either a trojan homer or simply an idiot. OSU established their running game in the middle early, punched USC in the mouth and the trojans simply didn't know how to respond. It happens everytime an opponent stands up to them and isn't intimidated by the trojans' image.

And please don't make excuses about not being mentally prepared. That's part of being a championship team, you win games you should win. Plain and simple.

Didn't Stanford beat #1 SC last year with a losing record?

[NoMoneyDown]

The Beavs were 1-2 and they won't have a losing record at the end of the season.

They didn't say a losing record at the end of the year - just their record when they beat the #1 team.

[NoMoneyDown]

Didn't Stanford beat #1 SC last year with a losing record?

Was USC #1 at the time? I know there were a LOT of #2 teams that got beat last year. Not sure where USC was ranked when Stanford beat them.

EDIT: Google search says USC was #2 at the time.

[IceColdBrewski]

The Trojans do this every year. They start believing the press clippings about how great they are, and then just expect to show up and win. You'd think they would've learned their lesson by now. Other teams aren't going to just roll over and let you win simply because you're the mighty USC Trojans.

[JamStone]

Of course it was an upset.

But, it was an upset that clearly showed that USC is not anywhere close to being the best team in the country. Period.

[IronMexican]

Didn't Stanford beat #1 SC last year with a losing record?

Oregon was #1 at the time. We were liike #9.

[bostonguy]

Then why predict a USC blowout if you know they don't bring it against weaker competition?

Come to grips that USC is not the premier college program in the country. It's "one" of them, but not "the" premier program.

Also come to grips that Joe McKnight is not the second coming and Mark Sanchez cannot lead a championship team, and Pete Carroll and Sartegian's gimmick offenses are starting to get stale and predictable.

Showing your face and still being a USC apologist with the "only way we get beat is if we beat ourselves" type attitude.



lets see if SC can make it back to the title game...long season.

If they do, it will be just as much of a travesty as Ohio State making it to the NC game last season.


And, lastly, for all your shit, go fuck yourself with a trojan sword.

[SpurSupremacist]

Good to see people finally recognizing the Pussific10 for what it is on a national level -- a one team, weak conference.

I think we all saw what Penn State did to this same Oregon State team.

You still don't realize how much of a complete ass you are about USC.

USC didn't beat themselves. It wasn't USC not showing up. Oregon State outplayed them, out-coached them, and punched them in the mouths.

Instead of being cavalier and saying this happens all the time, just own it. USC got outplayed and they aren't the best team in the country. They aren't a top 5 team in the country.

by definition, an upset is any game where the underdog wins, but I see your point. I would still call this an upset, however. The #1 team in the country lost to an unranked team with a losing record. Never a good thing for that #1 team.

I think USC put themselves in a hole early by not showing up. That entire first half they looked completely lackadaisical. They got into that hole because they were napping the first half.

The second half is a different story, though. USC woke up, made their push, and Oregon State still held them off.

Oregon outplayed them when it counted, and that ultimately matters most, but that entire first half USC looked as focused as a bunch of 5 year olds. If they put forth even a minute bit of effort in the first half, the Trojans probably win. But again, in crunch time Oregon State dictated the flow of the game and kicked their ass, and they deserve credit for that.

big upset. i savored watching the beavers pound the trojans

Man bites dog. Usually the trojans are meant for pounding the beavers.

SC loses to oregon state and everyone loses their mind...(sigh)

The thing is, JGW always has the most radical, not understandable, lop-sided sports analyzes. He has preached his radicalism, regardless of the response he gets. Deep down he knows that he is wrong. People online are not the only people who think his sports thinking is handicapped. But give him props for keeping his beliefs, not matter how mundane they might be. JGW will soon be talking about the upcoming Texas A&M women's basketball season, hoping the gain some ground. I, personally, do not argue with him anymore, because reading his words get me confused as to why a person with a college degree, and a pretty good sports intelligence, can make such ridiculous claims, knowing he is wrong.

usc, beat / a&m, the new baylor of the big 12!

[SpurSupremacist]

and let's see what they do against Ohio State.

Sorry but as weak as the Pac-10 is, the Big 10 is weaker, and has been for some time.

Not even close. Not this season, and most CERTAINLY not all-time. Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State. I'll take that three against any 3 of any conference all-time.

[IronMexican]

Mono, the Pac 10 is a lot weaker than the Big 10 this year.

The Big 10 is shit and has been for a while. Get back to me when you know what you're talking about. That conference has sucked for ages and lives on reputation alone. Every time Wisconsin or Penn State starts off strong everyone blows their chodes and throws them in the top 10, they'll both finish the season with 3+ losses. Michigan is obviously in a down year, and Ohio State is the only solid team in the conference and we see what happens to them any time they face an elite team in another conference.

who the fuck said anything about all-time? I'm talking recent history, dumbass.

Recent history shows that Michigan is up and down, Penn State has a nice 4 loss season that everyone overrates every 5 years or so, and Ohio State is the cream of the crop in the Big 10 and they constantly get faceraped by the best that any other conference has to offer.

[IronMexican]

Southern Cal is the only strong team in the Pac this year. Oregon, and ASU blow. And those are the second and third best. The Pac is down for one year, and a lot of people wanna ride us(mostly Big 10 people, who are pussy sore) but the Pac will be back next year.

[Ballcox]

Hey jgw, progress just slapped you in the face! How does it feel? Hell, at least when my Horns lose they do it against tough competition. Losing to Org. St. is like losing to Baylor, pathetic and unexcusable. :lol

Back?? You have to be IN something to get back in it.

There have been more teams from non-BCS confs in BCS Bowls (3) than 2nd P10 teams in the BCS as an at-large (2).

Only USC has multiple BCS Bowl bids - no other P10 school has more than 1.

Only twice this century have more than 2 P10 teams been ranked in the final AP poll (Az State #20 - 2004; UW #19 - 2001).

P10 only had one team in the top 20 in 1999 (Ore #19), 1998 (UCLA #8), 1995 (SC #12), 1990 (UW #5), 1989 (SC #8), 1985 (UCLA #6), 1983 (UCLA #13) and I got tired of looking.

P10 is only a better conf than the ACC or BEast in the BCS era because SC is in it. That's all, nothing more.

[tlongII]

The Pac-10 does appear to be down this year. However, I think Oregon is capable of beating any team in the country.

[johngateswhiteley]

But, it was an upset that clearly showed that USC is not anywhere close to being the best team in the country. Period.

incorrect.

[johngateswhiteley]

The Trojans do this every year. They start believing the press clippings about how great they are, and then just expect to show up and win. You'd think they would've learned their lesson by now. Other teams aren't going to just roll over and let you win simply because you're the mighty USC Trojans.

yep. no team is good enough not to bring it every game.

whoops, i had you confused with someone who actually watches college football.

1999 7-5 lost bowl game
2000 11-1 Pac-10 champions, won bowl game, #4 final ranking
2001 5-6
2002 8-5 lost bowl game
2003 8-5 won bowl game
2004 7-5 won bowl game
2005 5-6
2006 10-4 won bowl game, #21 final ranking
2007 9-4 won bowl game, #25 final ranking

thats almost a decade of very good football...and i'd say a pretty good account of their current program. they will finish in the upper portion of the Pac-10 and they will make a bowl game. they do tend to start slowly.

...baylor they are not. even though SC was on the road i thought the revenge factor and 'focus' would lead to a blowout. clearly, i was wrong. if SC runs the table, they will make it into the final 2. but, even as good as SC is...conference games are their achilles heel.

enjoy your teams win and worry about SC when michigan is fit to clean our toilets.

Actually that post was made during one of my breaks at work. If you notice, I am just few hours ahead of you (try a day).

The key word is J O B!

[redraiderinfiji]

JGW - Just face it. Your prophecies are as radical as Muslim clerics

[redraiderinfiji]

Reading all the smack talk that's started up in the college sports forum is very refreshing. Things were getting way too stale around here and it's great to see Capt. Mike going at it with R. Mexico, everyone jumping on jgw's dumb ass/idiotic comments, Brutalis going back and forth with some dude about incest and other shit I can't even remember...............it all just brings out the best in college football fans.

Congrats to us, the college sports forum posters. We continue to find new levels of low as we try to 'intelligently' discuss college football. :toast

hmm......some may not be needed, but smack is smack. Putting idiots in their place is always necessary!

yep, unfortunately. i actually think that cal is pretty good. i don't think they were awake for that maryland game. i think oregon state had a disasterous day at penn state, but will improve and win a bowl game. oregon might have a chance once they get a qb, any qb, back. still that doesn't help, especially with pathetic washington state and poor washington.

[johngateswhiteley]

The Pac-10 does appear to be down this year.

i'm not so sure. oregon and cal are pretty damn good, imo. oregon state, arizona, and arizona state are all bowl teams.

per usual...people are overreacting. same with SC's los; plenty of season to make a final 2 ranking...just can't lose again.

[redraiderinfiji]

The media loves SC. We all know that. The reason we hate them is because they can lose a game early, maybe even two, and somehow still sneak into that championship.

Behind SC, Ohio State and LSU seem to have that power. They are proof positive that losing in September is not that bad. When these teams (osu, sc, lsu) lose early, it brings them back to reality. SC is a little different. When USC loses, their team realizes that they are not in the NFL, yet.

Playing at SC is like prep work for the real job to come (NFL). They have so many good players. Its just ridiculous. They have a backfield so deep it makes me want to throw up with jealousy. Not only was McKnight on arrays of Heisman lists, but his backup was too (Stephan Johnson). Their defense has ballers galore! They have so many future All-Americans riding the bench as backups/underclassmen. Their qb is not too bad either.

Jealous? Yes! Because everyone knows that Tech only gets those prized recruits from time to time. Its not consistent. Yet somehow Tech finds a way to get the most out of their players. Hence, my fraternity brother at Tech - Wes Welker. Mike Leach used to tell the media that Wes Welker was the shortest and slowest player on the team. The only things Welker had was a motor with desire. He was not the most gifted athlete by any means. He just knew the game and played smart. Aggies especially hated him. Quote from an angry aggie - "Why the hell cant we tackle that little shit". Somehow that "little shit" got into the Super Bowl last year (and played great).

[redraiderinfiji]

You know whats really fucked up? That Cassell kid who starting in the place of Brady was career backup at USC. He never played. He was either behind Palmer or Leinhart. I dont know which. But now he is a starting qb in the nfl. NUTS!

he was palmer's backup... and then leinart's.

[redraiderinfiji]

I just goes to show that you can still be a career backup at USC and still make it in the NFL. As much as I hate that, its true.
