Dy - USC is a 21 point favorite in Saturday's game v. OSU. Let's see...3 points for home field advantage...and 18 because they're 6th ranked USC? Seems like we've been here before. I live football like life: cautiously optimistic. On this note Quizz chimes in: "It shows us that USC can be beaten. We can't live off of what we did last year though." It's that kind of attitude that has given the mental edge the Beavs need to defeat Goliath.
Now more than ever the Beavs need Quizz, James, Ninja, Halehuni, Wheaton to succeed with receptions in the passing game so the run will stay open. Use the full back and our center to hide Quizz until he's ready to head for the long run. Can he top 68 yards? Let's see it!
Dockery has had his eye on this USC game since pre-season. Make it happen! Beavs do what you do best. Don't talk about it, just EXECUTE!
Ang - I don't know, but USC is no ASU and I have an uneasy feeling about Saturday's game. I mean, how many miracles can we have against them? We are coming off a bye week, but USC is a powerhouse, no matter how much we want to think they're overrated.
It will be an interesting though and a good test to see how the rest of the season may play out - especially the shoot out between Barkley (#1 in passing in Pac-10) and Canfield (#3). On the ground, we're ranked #3 with our D in allowing the run, USC is ranked #2 - and this time Quizz won't have the surprise factor. If we can get pased USC's huge D to the red zone, we may have a shot, considering we're third in the nation with a 95.8% scoring percentage.
Now, the numbers may look comparable, but you have to consider who USC has played - Ohio State, Cal, ND - granted they lost to San Jose St. and WSU (like playing against prep football), but I think their loss to the Huskies was a fluke and they're not going to let that happen again against a shakey, new Beav team. Come on Ninja and Hula - show us what 'ya got!
Side note: Jenn is on vacation this week. Dy is now in Hawaii. Where the heck am I?
