See Ya' Next Year!!
So, it is finally here...
The final game of a crazy season. Did anyone think we would seen all that we saw this season. We have a number of the pundits picking against SC. Not surprised at all.
The big question is which USC team shows up tonight? The one that we saw early in the season or the one that we saw late in the season? I really don't know. There are a number of underclassmen who may be considering leaving for the NFL so we could be seeing some players for the final time and if that is the case they may play out of their minds to night to add some strong highlights to their tapes.
This game will be an interesting one for USC tonight with a rookie on the O line and a little used TE replacing the ineligible Anthony McCoy. There is still no word on Joe McKnight being able to play...not that I thought he was going to any way, I mean why take the chance?
I look for a fair amount of running the ball to Bradford and Gable. It could be C.J.'s swan song so it would be neat to see him hick some ass tonight and make a strong showing.
So, join us here. Leave you comments questions and rants here.
I hope we make a strong statement tonight!!
FIGHT ON!

can you believe McCoy, a freakin senior not keeping up grades up?
TD Havili!!!!!
now they become one dimensional.
we can tee off, PC is in his element.
This defense will be our downfall next year...
…even if Barkley has a breakout season. It won’t matter unless they start showing up.

From a less invested POV:
entertaining game is entertaining. :-D

Let me ask every SC fan here something
On that third down play it was clearly a play designed to put the kicker in a better position to kick the field goal. In the last seven years how many times does a Trojan team play to give the kicker better position rather than run a play that at least has a chance at a TD when they have that kind of field position. Really indicative of where this team is at right now.
Right now, conservative probably isn't a bad idea.
With the amount of mistakes that both teams are making, it’s probably best to limit your own and wait for the opposition to make theirs.

Yeah, no fault.
Just the bounce of the ball.

How's your Christmas season going, btw?

Awesome.
Back in Wyoming with family. I love Tennessee and all, but home is always home.
We have snow. A full foot of it. I’m stoked.

The game? Probably not.
At home? Yup. :-)

I had forgotten about that.
If the receiving team’s player is forced into the ball by the kicking team, then it isn’t a free ball. That’s a rule in place to keep the kicking team from driving players into the ball when nobody’s trying to catch it. I think the rule was misapplied there, though, because the BC player had no intention to drive him into the ball.

In my undergrad time at Wyoming, we had an allt too common cheer:
STOP SUCKING!!!
First to stop making mistakes wins.
I'm saddened that that's the 1000th time I've heard that this year...
…he’s got to go.

I'm glad I wasn't near something fragile
What the fuck was that? The O line looked like they were playing matador there.

Wouldn't worry too much.
It’s not like BC is doing anything right either.

I look forward to your writeup on Meyer's condition.

I'm just glad he's sane enough to value family over more fame.
Not all guys can step away.

No kidding
but why even call that play. We need 2 yards and just had a successful running play. It sounds like one of those situations where you call like a play action roll out, which they’ve had great success with anyways most of the night.

So long Damian...
no need for you to stay, you’ve earned the right to go we appreciate your loyal service…What a freaking catch!!!
A-fucking-greed.
If he’s gone, I don’t blame him with plays like that. Let’s finish this strong!

Offensive playcalling
This is not making me hope for continuity on the offensive coaching side.

I watched the game until the Barkley score. . .
. . . of DWill’s amazing catch. Now that was a badass catch! He’s gonna make some NFL team proud!
I hope it won’t be his last Trojan game, but . . . .
The D looked alive in the 3rd and 4th- but then again I left with 11 min to play.
Here’s hoping we pull this out. Some of those passes looked spot on by Shinskie, their WR’s just looked awful on a few plays.
Let’s pull this out guys! 9 and 4 looks good from my view of it all!

I feel good about it.
Believe it or not. Let’s see what the new recruits bring, as well as the added experience on the D.

Rain and all!
That was a pretty darn good Eagle team, they knew what we were gonna do and they tried their darndest to stop us. Without some key drops, some timely pressure, and serious senior play- this game could’ve gotten outta hand?
They stepped up and beat a decent ACC team. Shinskie’s not a bad QB, we took out their running game and the D showed up in the 2nd half.
Good win, all thing’s considered.
Thanks for all the craziest memories in recent memory Trojan football team. Re-group and come out like you guys want it next year. Really, this next time!
