Not to rub it in, but the Huskies actually lost their last 15 games straight before they won on Saturday.

Nope, they beat Idaho last week to snap that 15 game losing streak. The game was a perfect example of what can happen if you don't have a good QB running the team.

You mean 0/10 on 3rd down conversions? Turnovers killed you, sure. But USC seems to be missing a defense... oh, wait... that's right:

Defense isn't the issue...not having an experienced QB and a case of the fumbles are the big issues.

I somewhat disagree. In prior years the SC defense has stopped teams when it needed to. This time Locker just marched down the field easier than SC did against Ohio state last week. There is no way Maualuga, Mathews and Cushing allow that drive to succeed. The QBs have sucked the big one all year (outside of the cupcake game against SJS).
I think a big part of the problem is the play calling is too conservative, they just need to let Barkley play, Carroll did the same thing to Sanchez last year, the play calling was horrible. With that said, since we now have our one loss and i think the national title pressure is off (we needed to go undefeated to go to the title game since they will take a one loss SEC or Big 12 team ahead of us) i think Carroll will open up the playbook and let the kids play and use their superior athleticism to their advantage.
we will see. Also, now i see why Carroll went with Barkley over Corp. Corp sucks.

What happened to Cal this weekend? I didn't see the game, but that score looks UGLY.

Oregon finally figured out how to play offense. But it wasn't just the score that was ugly. The whole day was an abomination, aside from USC looking good against the worst team in the Pac-10.
Stanford... #1 in the conference. Watch out for flying pigs.

I hope you USC fans realize that USC had only 3 snaps in Arizona State Teritory in the ENTIRE GAME.
No way should they be ranked in the top 20.

You mean they were good enough to win with <em><strong>only </strong></em>3 snaps in ASU territory? WOW!
That kind of talent deserves high ranking.</blockquote>
I think you have "good" confused with blind idiot luck.
"Barkley is 48th nationally in passing efficiency (135.06) and has thrown 10 touchdowns with seven interceptions. He is coming off a miserable performance against ASU, completing 7 of 22 passes for 112 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Other than a 75-yard catch-and-run by Damian Williams, Barkley was 6 of 21 for only 37 yards".

Mastery of sarcasm was an entrance prerequisite at USC. Where did you go?

Thanks for asking.
I graduated magna cum laude from the John Knowles Vocational Institute of the Greater Ocotillo Valley. It was a graduating class of 1. Extremely competitive.
Our school motto was <strong><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/185045">some quote</a></strong> from the founder's writings in one of his inane short stories.

UCLA. Hitting on cute Asian Females back then was my prerequisite.
USC bashing is in my blood. Going with Stanford and getting 10 1/2 points.
Go Cardinals.

Shoulda put some money on it in Vegas....you would have gotten like 6-1 odds taking Stanford straight up. It's safe to say that Matt is imploding before our eyes. I hope it at least is a learning experience and he'll improve next year.
