initial thoughts on usc

[Feeling Minnesota]

only a couple drives into the hawaii game & they are shredding. receivers look problematic, as does the rb. thoughts?

[Monty519]

USC should be shredding Hawaii, I'd be surprised if they weren't.

In our case, we definitely got some work to do if we wanna pull an upset. Hopefully some home cooking will help.

usc/kiffin only goes for 2. no extra points........

Announcers are making me want to vomit.

Opening kickoff: "And the Lane Kiffin Era is under way"
Typical shot of Hawaiian rainbow: "It looks as if there are some USC colors in there".

Stop doing the knee-pad two step. I can't believe they can even speak with their lips so firmly pressed against USC's ass.

nice. did you catch the one after the first t.d.? "THE MEN OF TROY ARE BACK!!!!!"

USC over the Gophers by 25, judging by what we've seen so far.

You go to hell. Gophers by 42.

Well, at least we know which one of us has gotten into the brew this evening. :D

Their secondary looks undisciplined, but it looks like they can score whenever they want.

[MBAGuy]

Yeah, we're going to lose and lose huge. But that's ok. No one is expecting us to do anything anyway.

I'm just looking forward to being about 40 feet from the USC cheerleaders for three hours. :clap:

Heard it, forgot about it...nice call.

[Tee09]

U Suck, Cheaters

[AhliBobwa]

right now it's 27-13 USC. Hawaii absolutely should have scored a TD there. Can't believe they didn't. USC looks undisciplined on D like last year. The Trojans will give up lots of points. However, they have an explosive offense. Hopefully, the Gophers improve enough in the next couple weeks to make it a game.

[Tee09]

Also, this just in: Kiffin's a *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#

d0uche gets blocked??? lame

[Breakin' The Plane]

USC by 9 at the break. More scared of Cal last year than I am of U$Cheat.

Hello Kiffy keeps making himself look like a bigger @hole every time there is a mic in his face.

I so want him to crash and burn, stop drop and roll, and keep burning.

[MBAGuy]

Yeah, we're going to lose and lose huge.

Rethinking this a little right now. Of course, I've been drinking bourbon all night....

[JPIIGopher]

Ron Johnson USC receiver/returner is an absolute beast. Is there anyway we can switch Marqueis Gray to corner back?

[MBAGuy]

So, does USC run the Tampa 2 defense? I wish the announcers would tell me.

[stocker08]

USC defense looking VERY weak this game. Except for that last hit.

[stocker08]

Well, at least we know which one of us has gotten into the brew this evening. :D

Yes, and yes.

Gophers by 55.

Crappy shot to the head.

[GoAUpher]

Yes, and yes.

Gophers by 55.

112 with 17 interceptions and 4 onside kick recoveries. What can I say? I had some tasty microbrews.

[JPIIGopher]

USC's Defensive line just got owned by Hawaii on the goal line. I'm starting to think we can move the ball on SC. Their offense is damn good though. Hopefully we are at full strength in the secondary when we play them.

[MBAGuy]

I'll pound the over on our game with them to dust.

[JPIIGopher]

Looks like we will have to be ready on special teams for some craziness when defending field goals.

[Rosemountian]

Hawaii has a bottom 20 defense in FBS. They have a bottom 5 secondary in FBS. So take the USC offensive performance with a grain of salt.

On the flip side, I also take their poor defensive performance with a grain of salt. Hawaii offense is unique and tough to stop regardless of your talent. I don't think Weber will rip them apart like Hawaii does. Hopefully we can be physical with them like the Pac-10 teams were.

Not really, Illinois ran the same deal last year. (as do 25% of high school football teams)

[Tee09]

I hope the coaching staff was watching how USC was terrible at defending quick WR screens. While still running the ball well, it'd be great to get it out to Stoudermire/Allen/Gray in space and let them break some tackles

[jerdogg1]

USC looks very susceptible to 5-10 yard out routes. Hawaii was able to move the ball much better than I thought they would, and it was primarily due to those out routes and then the ability to get over the top when USC adjusted.
