SPORT: USC Football // #2 and holding


I'll start checking in each week with a USC Football status, since this is the only team sport I follow these days.

So 'SC drops to #2 in the AP poll behind LSU, whose coach wisely played nice with the team this week and acted more humble than this summer when he opened his pie hole and insulted So Cal's schedule and the Pac-10. Smart move Mr. Miles - now that you figured out that the polls are based on actual people voting. Doh! Luckily LSU isn't playing much better football than 'SC these days following the "big upset Saturday" where 5 top-ten teams were unseated - watch for USC to return to #1 this weekend after killing Stanford and their stupid tree.

Team Outlook: holding steady for now; here's how they looked so far this season:
After Idaho Game: Unstoppable
After Nebraska Game: National Champ-bound, best running game in nation
After Washington State: Showed some holes in their passing game
After Washington: What passing game? And how about some more penalties!

USC has to get their passing game in sync if they want to beat their remaining opponents, they simply can't run the ball every play - they'll wear Chauncy Washington (#23) out!
