GameDay Open Thread - USC vs. Nebraska
I am heading out shortly to hook up with some friends to watch the game. I will try to do a little phone blogging but I wouldn't expect much.
Keys to the game:
- The defense needs to contain Lucky and force Keller to make some mistakes, as he is prone to do when he puts the world on his shoulders.
- Take the crowd out of the game. You do that by following the bullet point above.
- Booty needs to come out firing and get the ball down field.
- The running game needs to be consistent. I am fine with rotating backs as long as the production is consistent and not hodge-podge.
- Obviously control the line of scrimmage.
We need a decisive win tonight!!
FIGHT ON!

Quick thoughts on the day
Florida > Tennessee - what happened to the SEC being all about defense? did Tennesse even deserve to be #22?
Texas > UCF - we all know what eventurally happens when you repeatedly win games against lesser opponents in the final minutes... Mack and company better straighten this out now
Utah > UCLA - Utah, which has an injury list that looks like a war report from the front lines, is rolling over the Bruins. Yeah, the backup QB was a guy who bolted from Stoops/OU (so you know he had talent), but come on. Once again, Westwood High drops the Pac 10 banner when it travels out of conference.
Now on to the big game and what I hope will be a bigtime smackdown of the children of the corn. Fight On!

When you lost to Tennessee last year
That game did more damage to the Pac 10's reputation than any other game in recent years. Why don't you blame your own team?

babybruin "strawmanning"
Actually, yes. It was a black eye for both the Bears and the conference.
Did you care what anybody in any other conference thought?
Of course. It set a tone that the Pac teams were soft and below par. It was a huge millstone around the neck of both Cal and the conference, that we only managed to remove via convincing wins last year (such as against your little boys), and ultimately in the Holiday Bowl.
That game did more damage to the Pac 10's reputation than any other game in recent years.
I don't think losing on the road to a ranked team in one of the premier conferences did more damage than either losing to a very bad FSU team in a lousy bowl, or getting stomped by an 0-2 team of 2nd stringers from the WAC. Congratulations, babybruin. You again show why everyone else in the conference hates you people.
Why don't you blame your own team?
My team redeemed themselves last year, and so far through this year. What has yours done?
Go Bears!
PS: Congratulations to the Trojans on a really impressive and dominating win.

Question
That being said, I'd like to get your take on the passing game. True, you didn't need to worry about it since the ground game was just steamrolling, but is this something that you guys have in the back of your mind at all?
Good luck next week against the Cougs.
