Game! Set! Match!
I was hoping for the best this weekend but it was all for not. A fumble by Havili at the Oregon 16 and Sanchez's first INT inside the USC 20 sealed the day for the Trojans.

Without the two TO's that resulted in 14 Oregon points I am thinking USC stood a decent chance of hanging on for a win. Other than Dixon's run early in the first half when he had a hole that you could drive a semi through, the USC Defense held together rather well. It was nice seeing Brian Cushing back. Hopefully, Mays, Cushing, Matthews and Ellis can keep playing tough D and get through the rest of the schedule unscathed.

The Trojans should be able to handle Oregon State and then roll through Cal (SC seems to have Longshore's number). They will be facing a tough opponent in ASU in three weeks and end with UCLA (who has gotten worse this year like SC - This is going to be a pride game).

I can't believe some bozo's at ESPN have USC still making a BCS bowl. They must not be watching the games I watched this year. With the banged up O Line it is hard to see the team cruising the rest of the year and going 10-2. But hey, this is one strange college football year. If ASU beats Oregon and then USC beats ASU anything is possible. But they must get past OSU and Cal before even thinking about the Devils.

Good luck guys. I can not wait to see what Mustain and company do next year. Yeah, it's that bad in Trojan land that I am already dreaming of next year. It's only 12 months away.....Fight On!
