Arizona Wildcats at USC Trojans, Dec 5, 2009 12:30 PM PST
So, here we go...The final game.
Hopefully SC will feed off the emotion of the end of the ucla game and leave no doubt against a pretty good Arizona team. SC needs to stop Arizona's running game. The front seven need to keep the pressure on Foles and not let him get comfortable in the pocket.
Matt Barkley needs to show some progress today. He has to limit poor throws and he must not turn the ball over. I would like to see the running game take off today so that the pressure is off of Barkley to make plays...especially if he is struggling.
I expect this one to be pretty close...
So, Join us here. Leave your comments, questions and rants here!
FIGHT ON!

Yeah, we're going to have to get in sync pretty fast
But in all, not the worst start for the defense given the short fields to begin with, and the fact that they needed to convert a fourth down to get that TD

I Just Don 't Get It
We end Ucla game on a bomb, that get them by surprise, but we start this game with conservative play calling. The result is receiver bobbling the ball INt, F___ the OC calling period.
28---7 2nd & 11 Barkley to Williams, so please Bru-Babes call time out again.

I hate to say this but are coaching totally Sucks
28---7 2nd & 11 Barkley to Williams, so please Bru-Babes call time out again.

Why do the announcers think
that defensive players are concerned about how they might get tackled?
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 1:01 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Because the both of them are JERKS and I am glad James is sick.
28---7 2nd & 11 Barkley to Williams, so please Bru-Babes call time out again.

You know I can't even really care at this point, this about the 1st game SJSU we were not into it then.

I care...b ut it might be time for Bates to go
it is clear his head is else where…

bates my be limited by PC. or by what he know barkley can or can’t do.
by xgenx on Dec 5, 2009 1:10 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
different
arizona always plays us tough.
even in the championship years
no huddle- nice move, somewhat gutsy with freshman qb.
barkley not looking off secondary though.
by xgenx on Dec 5, 2009 1:06 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
stopped em
man was open, where is the safety help?
no pass rush, no stunts? are we that worried about draws
or qb running?
by xgenx on Dec 5, 2009 1:13 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Our offense is dull and Barkley looks like he needs to sit down.
by warchild13 on Dec 5, 2009 1:15 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
That....
… worked out a lot better than I thought it was going to.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 1:20 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Did James just say we are close to being good?
by Paragon SC on Dec 5, 2009 1:21 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Very nice drive
Don’t mind going a little run heavy early on, with O’Dowd back and all. Wish we’d been doing that for the first two posessions.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 1:25 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
nice pass- barkley looks around and reads secondary. good job.
these are things that have to be worked on everyday all season long
but i am still worried- team needs to wake up- no fire
by xgenx on Dec 5, 2009 1:28 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
6-0 Start?
Really? I understood in the graphic that it was Barkley with the 6-0 start. Apparently the announcers didn’t.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 1:44 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Interesting spot on that catch
Didn’t think he was going back under his own power.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 1:49 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
I have no idea what the game plan was for today...
by Paragon SC on Dec 5, 2009 1:51 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
we have no good plays for 3rd downs
seems all our receivers are double teemed and theirs are wide open
by TrojanInAtlanta on Dec 5, 2009 1:51 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
befense having a difficult time getting pressure
by Paragon SC on Dec 5, 2009 1:53 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Nice INT
Capitalizing on a really awful decision by the QB
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 1:54 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
7 points a half isn't going to get it done
by TrojanInAtlanta on Dec 5, 2009 2:01 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
I have an idea....
…how about we let Jeremy Bates take the afternoon off to go Christmas shopping and give the OC reigns to, um…i don’t know….pick a fan out of the stands.
Let’s see more of Havili, more Bradford, more tight ends.

Oh good, McKnight up the middle for 2
Glad to see we made the most of our halftime.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 2:24 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Boy, looks like I’ve been missing a doozy.
by DC Trojan on Dec 5, 2009 2:24 PM PST via mobile reply actions 0 recs
I might get boo-ed but the way McKnight has played this season I hope he comes back.
But more BRADFORD!
by warchild13 on Dec 5, 2009 2:24 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Why get boo’d? Bradford has totally outplayed McKnight this year
by KellyStephen on Dec 5, 2009 2:26 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I'd love to have McKnight back
And I’d love to see him used in space and to the outside. Up the middle is fine if our OL opens up big enough holes for him to make the most of his speed, but until then, run Bradford up the gut.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 2:27 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
If we're gonna throw the ball
I’d really like to get about 5 yards with the catch, at least, and not rely on YAC to get anything.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 2:43 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Silver Lining of sorts
Prater’s gotta be salivating at his opportunities next season
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 2:45 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah...but the line needs to provide some protection
by Paragon SC on Dec 5, 2009 2:46 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Absolutely
This much pressure with a 4-man rush is pretty tough to deal with.
by Boy Howdy on Dec 5, 2009 2:49 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Hmmm…give it to Bradford! Imagine the results you might see!
Bates, about time you started reading this blog!
by KellyStephen on Dec 5, 2009 2:54 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
Speaking of Bates he probably knew when he took the job that he would be leaving.
Is only on sidelines to collect large check and I hope he chokes on it.

We'll see...
Pete has a lot to think about…
by Paragon SC on Dec 5, 2009 3:02 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I still think the big need is a strength and conditioning coach. We keep getting pushed all over the field. Good technique but no explosiveness or endurance.

Nice 3 and out – I’ll take the positives where we can

Smith just missed it

I'm pretty sure most people who haven't played QB
Still understand that it’s hard to throw something forward when you’re falling backwards. You don’t need to look over your shoulder for the Magician’s Guild for explaining that one.

Getting worried about the clock here – it’s not like SC can pile on quick points against this defense

Sorry but I don't think Barkley can do it, he can only see the primary receiver, and Bates is incompetent.

Can't blame PC's D
His defense only gave up 7 in the 2nd half
I don’t care who’s back on the offense next week, it won’t make a big difference.
