College Football News & USC

[AF_Husker]

Per the CFN site, this is there view of USC, per their week 2 rankings:

 

1. USC (1-0)

Off This Week

next game: Nebraska

Be careful. Be very, very careful. Nebraska is absolutely good enough to waltz into L.A. and hang 450 yards and 38 points on the board if the Trojan D isn’t fully prepared. However, USC is absolutely good enough to torch the mediocre Husker secondary (don’t let the zero passing yards allowed against Nicholls State fool you) and roll to the type of blowout win that’ll make the rest of the nation finally wake up and realize that this is the most talented team in college football.

 

So what do you think? Are they really the #1 team in the nation?

 

Oh, and this is what they say about us:

 

15. Nebraska (2-0)

W, Nicholls State 56-7

next game: at USC

O.K. Nebraska, you want to be a player? You want to be big-time again? Here’s your chance. Beat USC at USC and you just might be the number one team in the country. At the very least you’ll be in the CFN top three.

That site has been saying all the summer that we can go in and upset them. I can't wait for the game.

Top three in the country.... ooh baby that sounds good to these ears. If our secondary can make some plays, we can hang with them and pull the upset.

 

So are the two starters still out of the USC secondary, that will help us a little bit if they are.

Top 3 seems like a pretty big jump....not that I wouldn't love it but I doubt the Coaches or AP poll would have us that high.

[ttheKid1*18]

If we win I would say we would go to number 9. The lowest would be about 11.

Yes! Kevin Smith CB and Josh Pinkard FS

 

a true freshman is replacing Pinkard but SC feels very confident

 

Pinkard is done for the season with an ACL not sure about Smith but he is out for our game next saturday

[Hawkeyehusker]

We can win this game. USC gave up over 400 yards six times last season. Now they lose their top two defensive backs.

 

I can't wait for this game. I'm scheduled to work. I'm not going to be there.

[ttheKid1*18]

Callahan is going to exploit these weaknesses. I think Taylor will have a big day.

[gamecocks]

There is a lot riding on this game for both teams. Moreso for us than them, but neither wants to play flat. It should be a good game.

is this weird...i am skeptical for this game, but i'm equally excited as well!!

Get a case of the "brown bottle flu". I have seem to have caught that nasty illness a time or two when the Huskers were playing!

Ditto!

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I don't see us in the Top 3 maybe the top 10 or so!!! However; I would love to see it happen!!!!!

[ttheKid1*18]

If we win, how do you think the team will respond. I think they are mature enought to not let the higher ranking get to them. Should be interesting.

[GSG]

With the leaders we have (ZT, Carriker, Moore, Mann, etc) I think the team will keep their egos in check until after we beat Texas and then make our way to Arizong for NC game.
