    That little guy playing running back was very impressive. He has vision and speed. It was great to see him run the ball down USCs throat.

    "We weren't ready to do what we needed to do," USC Coach Pete Carroll said. "We felt like we had great preparation, we thought we did everything like we needed to and then when we're out there it just didn't feel like it."

    Say what ? Talk about saying nothing. Translation:

    "We are USC. Each year, it seams, that some far inferior team in our alleged conference fails to receive the memo that they are to roll over and play dead when we play them. When USC has success, the medial makes alot of money. This is the reason we get pimped by them every year to be more than we are. Its unfortunate that other teams don't get this and actually try and beat us when we play them. We were fairly sure Oregon State had received the memo this year and , well, obviously they didn't. Even though we don't have a ranked team on the rest of our schedule, it is our view that we are now and will be at the end of the season, the best team in the country. We should and will play for the National Championship this year. Or maybe we really aren't that good and got our @sses hand to us. I'm not sure."

    Tirk, I don't think the person implied that LSU will most likely be the new #1.

    I like the way you highlighted. It looks good.

    Carrol's arrogance has really spread to his team and it shows. They were laughing on sideline while down acting as if there was no way they could lose. Alittle bit is good, but I saw way too much of it tonight. I said their Oline would be exposed and man was it ever, I just did not think there Dline could play that poorly. Then they lost there Middle Linebacker.....ouch.

    The arrogance you speak of has been a reoccurring theme in the Carroll era. I harken back to the championship game vs Texas on that infamous 4th and 1 play in which Reggie Bush was on the sideline and Petey told Mack that he was just gonna run it up the middle with Fat Boy.

    That didn't turn out so well.

    I now proclaim Petey as a 2nd tier coach now.

    With that much talent and only 1 crystal ball to show for it, he has not gotten the job done.
