Almost Overlooked Dept.
Pete Carroll cannot be happy tonight. He lost to Charlie Weis (Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach) for the first time today. And that hurts from what I know of their relationship the previous five years.
More On Ronald Johnson
USC coach Lane Kiffin on wide receiver Ronald Johnson after the game.
“I don’t know that I’ve seen player ever take a game or a play harder than Ronald did,” Kiffin said. “He was a wreck after the game. I had him in (the locker room), just me and him. He was so emotional.
“It’s probably my fault because I talked about how important this game was. He felt he let people down. He felt that weight on his shoulders. It’s been very tough for him.”
Losing At The Coliseum
Lane Kiffin said there was no explanation for why USC lost three games at the Coliseum this season.
“We just continue to lose games at the end of games,” he said. “It’s been very unfortunate.”
Barkley and Bradford
Lane Kiffin said tonight that Matt Barkely looked better today and he believes he can play against UCLA. Tailback Allen Bradford is also healthy and did not play against Notre Dame because of fumbling issues, the reason Bradford’s played sparingly for several games.
Sunday Night With Kiffin
Here’s a quote from Lane Kiffin tonight:
“We’ve probably set a record for the worst two-minute defense in the history of college football. The amount of points we’ve given up is astounding.”
The Number
The Gold Sheet makes USC a nine-point favorite over UCLA.
Chiefs 42, Caesarhawks 24
Pete Carroll loses and Jeremy Bates goes 3 for 12 on third-down conversions.
UPDATED: It currently works out to $1.2 million per victory for the Carroll.
Reception Note
Michael Floyd’s 11 receptions were the most by a opponent receiver against the USC defense since Michael Thomas’s 12 for Arizona in 2007, and the most by a Notre Dame receiver against the Trojans since Jim Seymour’s 11 in the 1966 51-0 game.
