Most of the primetime games on ABC this year have sucked.
I loved the Ericksen comparison to Lewis based upon each players ability to negatively affect through penalties/bone-headed plays.
Not sure I know who I'm pulling for here. I'd like USC to win so they are strong for UA's matchup, but, UA beat Oregon State, so that would improve their SOS, I guess...
Dirty play by Mays
Taylor Mays is overrated as (and dirty for that matter). All this guy does is go for the big hit, I rarely see him make a play on the ball in coverage. A perfect example is Golden Tate's fade rout last week where Mays has perfect position to disrupt the play and instead goes to hit Tate after a he has possession.
The chances of UA beating USC are slim, so I'd much rather see OSU win so it bolsters a victory UA already has.
Mays looks bad. Those OLB talks are going to come up again.
wow this USC team just isn't that scary anymore, they look beatable every week, I'm liking Oregon's chances next week
USC looked pretty bad. At least they won.
Imagine if USC actually plays a game where both the offense and defense are clicking. A tough win, but it is a win. Coming off an emotional win in South Bend you couldve seen this performance coming. It'll be interesting to see which USC team shows up next week. If it is the one that smoked Cal up North or is it the one where they step back to 2005 and it's a shoot-out. I don't think USC will make the NC game, but the future is bright with Barkley. Well, it wasn't beautiful, but it's still a W.
*no one has really been impressive in the top-ten all year, so it's still wide open.
nothing new here ... USC continuing to squeak by chump teams.
again, you're not allowed to post without saying son
Tough loss, but at least we were in the game. I think the Ducks are going to crush USC next weekend.
Stacy Keibler = Full Grown Hot Beast
With a loss to a team like Washington, you're not getting to the NC...and it is wide open, yes, but USC is not in the picture.
few things of note...
1) like last week, USC had a 20 point lead in the 4th only to give it away...these games weren't close, but ended up being. i wouldn't count on that continuing
2) oregon state is a good football team and certainly better than tennessee and miss state, who almost beat alabama and florida, respectively
...perspective, people. when a low-level pac-10 team can go into tennessee and beat their ass. shut the up.
Uh, ranked 5th in the BCS does not implicate that USC is totally out of the picture. While I don't think USC will end up in the le game, it isn't necessarily out of reaching it at this point in the season. There are a ton of games left to play and there's no guarantee that neither of the 4 teams ahead of USC will win out. Also, yes I know, USC has to take care of its own schedule. I didn't expect my favorite team/alma mater to be in the running for the championship, I just want them to do the best they can. Whatever happens at the end of the season will be great, but the team is ahead of schedule when it is attempting to replace 9 starters on D and breaking in a freshman QB. One game at a time is the most important mantra and we'll see what's up.
USC is going to get throttled in Eugene, so yes they're out of the NC picture.
We'll see. Your predictions of Oregon State blowing out the Trojans didn't come to pass. It'll be a tough game, but before you say USC is going to get blown out, they have not lost a game under Pete Carroll by what's considered a blowout margin. The Ducks are starting a 2nd and 3rd string secondary and have a defensive line that is smallish. The last time Oregon played anyone that mattered they got blasted.
This game has scared me the most all season. I don't like USC's chances in Eugene.
It is a scary game, but that's what makes it exciting. The last time USC went up to Eugene they lost a close one and back then we had a 1st year starter in Sanchez. It should be a great game and I know the D is smarting after the past two 2nd halfs they've posted. Either way, the winner is on track to make it to the Rose Bowl, while the loser will have to hope other BCS teams fall--which isn't unlikely with the uneven play from all of college football.
