  1. I understand not wanting to put the ball back in the hands of USC due to our secondary but is the reasoning behind not attempting a pass with a minute to go in the half?! I hope Bill grows some balls in the second half, use the 2 minute offense we had success with the last two weeks and get the ball in the hands of our recievers, if anyone can make it happen, it's Zack! GBR!

  3. USC DT Ellis has surgery, will miss several weeks LOS ANGELES -- Young and inexperienced to begin with, No. 4 Southern California finds itself without three players projected to be starters just one game into the season. Fullback Brandon Hancock sustained a season-ending knee injury in practice Aug. 14, and the same thing happened to safety Josh Pinkard in the Trojans' season-opening 50-14 victory at Arkansas on Sept. 2. The latest injury occurred Monday in practice, when nose tackle Sedrick Ellis' right knee locked. He had to be carted from the field, and underwent arthroscopic surgery Tuesday. The good news, coach Pete Carroll said, is he hopes that Ellis won't be out for very long. "A few weeks is what we're hoping," the coach said. "Nobody's that worried," linebacker Dallas Sartz said regarding the loss of Ellis. "I wouldn't see a dropoff." Fili Moala, listed as a co-first stringer with Chris Barrett at defensive tackle, will start at nose tackle Saturday night when the Trojans face No. 19 Nebraska (2-0) in their home opener. A sellout crowd of over 90,000 is expected at the Los Angeles Coliseum, where USC has won a Pac-10 record 27 straight games. Freshman Taylor Mays will start in Pinkard's place in just the second game of his college career. Carroll expressed no concern. "He's ready to do it," Carroll said regarding the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder from Seattle. The USC depth chart lists six possible starters at tailback -- juniors Chauncey Washington and Desmond Reed, and freshmen C.J. Gable, Emmanuel Moody, Allen Bradford and Stafon Johnson. All but Johnson played in the opener, and Carroll indicated all will play against Nebraska. "Something's going to make some sense to adjust it," Carroll replied when asked if the time will come when a smaller number of players will get the bulk of the carries. "It doesn't matter to me, I just hope we do well." Gable had 12 carries, Washington eight, Moody seven, Bradford five and Reed four against Arkansas. Washington, who gained 55 yards, has missed some practice time with an injured hamstring. "We're going to try to nurse him through the week here," Carroll said. Linebacker Oscar Lua, who didn't return after the first series at Arkansas because of an injured hamstring, said he felt much better and would be ready to go against Nebraska. Lua is listed as a co-first stringer on the depth chart with Rey Maualuga, who made six tackles in the opener. Nebraska has rolled up some impressive numbers in its two victories, but the Cornhuskers haven't exactly played powerhouses, having beaten Louisiana Tech 49-10 and Nicholls State 56-7. "They are on a big roll right now. They've come out of the chute flying," Carroll said. While USC has played such non-conference opponents as Notre Dame, Auburn, Virginia Tech and Fresno State in recent years, Nebraska has played the likes of its first two opponents this season along with Maine, Western Illinois and Troy. "The schools have their opportunity to orchestrate their season as they want to," Carroll said. "There's different philosophies. It really depends on how you look at it. Their confidence is peaked and they're ready to go. I can see why they do it." Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press
  4. I live an hour north of Troy and I haven't seen anything down here in 'bama about them showing it yet. Too early I think, we will know next week. More than likely PPV if not televised. Check out the ESPN GamePlan on their website the week of. I follow the Trojans, better than the AU Tigers or the damn 'Bama Elephants! I will always go, GO BIG RED, though!
  5. I live just 45 Minutes north of Troy. I don't know how FS can be ranked in the top 10 when they barely escaped the grasp of Troy, but I will tell you, USC isn't our only problem in the comming weeks. Troy has got one hell of a program they have built since they came to 1-A four or five years ago, focus one game at a time but we still need to keep an eye out for those Trojans in Troy, AL.
  6. Just saw the new polls. NU moved up two spots in both polls from 21 to 19!
  7. Well, Hell, they didn't wan't to show too much in game tapes for USC! I have a feeling he'll explode for at least 8 catches, 130 yards!
  8. I had issues with huskernside's video stopping through out the pregame, never lost the audio, even with the game itself.
  9. I listen to Huskers.com every weekend ( of course, we don't get a lot of husker games down here in 'Bama) and it is completley free!
  10. Has anyone had buffalo jerky? It's very good and you know, that damn buff at CU get's a decent work out, i'm sure his jerky would be very tender! Too Damn Funny!
  11. Why can't fans of the majority of our opposing teams be like this? Anyone? I'm glad to see that there are still fans out there that don't come here to "dog" us and our team to raise the temp of our blood!
  12. we should look past Nicholas St. we should prepare for USC I disagree with the fact we should look past Nicholas St. The team, i'm sure, knows what their doing and they can't afford to "Look" past Nicholas St. Again, look at Colorado last weekend. They looked past, who was it again?! We are good but no one is good enough to shrug off one game to look ahead to the next week. Let's stay in the here and now and cheer them on this saturday and then look forward to USC.
  13. Leave it to the Guard to put the finishing touches on - Go Guard! Lol, can't wait to see footage!
  14. Keep an eye out here: http://proxy.espn.go.com/ncf/gameplan/inde...n_text_horiznav I don't have dish, or cable so when ESPN GamePlan has a Nebraska game on PPV, I watch it online! Some good info for you all. Check it throughout the week as they update their schedule.
  15. This post doesn't anger me or upset me in any way. Once man's view on Husker Fans and that's it. To tell you the truth. I laughed and found it funny when I read it!
  16. He ya'll, I currently live in Alabama (not by my choice!), I'm tired of Troy traveling to NU, any rumors of Nebraska comming to Troy in the comming years?
  17. Here is an animation I made for the USC/NU game. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
