SC by 14 45-31

Young will not have seen the complexity of the defenses that SC will throw at him, but he is a dangerous freelancer that can throw on the run and has excellent speed to move the ball up the field to get first downs.

Fresno State ran the underneath over offense and SC couldn't shut it down. Most entertaining game of the entire season.

But in the end Texas will not be able to stop all the SC weapons.

Fouth quarter SC will move away and take it.

A little late in the thread for this but.....
Look at the "permo grin" on Pete Carrolls face and tell me that he would be this happy in the NFL....The guy is having the time of his life.. 14. Has there ever been another coach who loves the college coaching life as much as he does?...Agreed he is winning but, I've seen lots of winning coaches who aren't enjoying the coaching life this much...

USC- 49
Texas- 20

The points given up by SC to Fresno St. was a complete aberration, just an off day.

Texas played NO ONE this year except for Ohio State, who they barely beat and the Buckeyes would have no chance against the Trojans.

SC's team speed on both sides of the ball, the number of skill players they have and the coaching talent of Carroll and his staff is something Texas ain't seen. They will be as knocked for a loop as were the Sooners.
HeyBatter,

Guess it's safe to say you're picking Notre Dame to beat Ohio State handily!

This thread will be a lot more "fun" after the game is over, Big Grin no matter how it turns out. There's some pretty brash words written here predicting big wins for both teams.

Might as well throw in another prediction. USC 58 - Texas 57 in 4 OTs. I really don't think it will be that close!
I think Texas should just mail it in, they have no chance what-so-ever - Ohio State are just a bunch of chumps anyway so that win didn't prove anything - Fresno State on the other hand.....they are really good (sarcasim off).

I keenly remember three years ago when Ohio State won their first NC since 1968. They played the defending National Champs Miami, and similar to this game were given no chance what-so-ever in the game. The game ended up a three-overtime thriller.

I can just see the Texas coaches right now talking and motivating their team. Nobody (outside of Texas) is giving you a chance - no respect. I don't see USC having a defensive answer for Vince Young. I do believe Texas can play defense better than any that USC has played this year. I am not predicting an upset, but I will not be surprised if Texas beats USC. They are the defending Rose Bowl Champs and certainly have a large chip on their shoulders.
I'll preface this by saying I'm not a USC fan. So what if they are defenfing Rose Bowl Champions. They lost Cedric Benson and have little ground game. USC faces better offenses every week than Texas. Why do you think they don't have a defensive answer to Young. They'll put a spy on him or force him to stay in the pocket. Pete Carroll is a defensive genius and the offense speaks for itself. Ohio State should have whipped Texas and would beat them easily now. Shame on them for not going woth one QB earlier. USC wins by 3-4 TD's. BTW- Good luck to whoever plays DLS in prep football in Ohio next fall. They will also be enlightened that California plays pretty good prep football.

Ureka, that's it!!! Why didn't the previous 12 Texas opponents think of that? All it takes to beat those uppity Horns is to put a spy on Young to contain him! Roll Eyes

I happened to watch the Fresno State game and the defensive genius part must have been beyond my grasp.....

I would be remiss, though, if I did not point out that the only game Texas was held under 40 was by Ohio State and USC's defense is no where near that of OSU. On the other hand, Texas' defense is run by Gene Chizik - who was the NCAA's Assistant Coach of the Year last year at Auburn. His squad is aggressive and much better than USC's.

Regardless, I do expect a high scoring affair that ends with a burnt orange celebration.

I smell a conspiracy...

Since the Niners continued their stupidity by actually winning a game and for all intents putting themselves out of the "Bush Bowl"

...it looks like Reggie Bush to the Texans

...Bush and his agent are no fools, order to get a head start on cultivating a large and noisy Texas fan base,

...Bush dogs the Rose Bowl...

Cool

.
as a michigan fan i have seen both teams in action. i like USC in this game. its either gonna be really close..or a blowout in the favor of USC. USC is gonna win tho, its young against leinart, white, bush, jarrett. im pretty sure everyone here that is not a usc fan can name at least those players (im not a usc fan) and you can only name 1 or 2 players from texas. i hope texas wins, but theres no way thats gonna happen.
