OK, how is Pete Carroll going to explain that one?
"One", as in the 27-21 loss to a Oregon State team just minutes ago that was crushed by Penn State a few weeks ago.
The Trojans didn't seem focused, prepared or disciplined . . . not a national championship combination.
I suspected the Pacific 10 Conference teams would cost the Trojans a shot in the national title game. But I thought it would be because of the conference's overall weakness, not because a team -- especially the Beavers.
There is a pattern here, folks. Pete is going to take a lot of heat for this one.
i'm a die-hard usc fan. USC just played horrible and were too overconfident. No matter how strong or weak team you have in front of you,take your opponent SERIOUSLY.Any team can will figure out a plan to beat you. There's a diffrence when your watching the other team on video and having them infront you. I believe sc still has a chance, but they have to win every game convicingly.
