Hostile Environment

A lot of pre-game and post-game comments focused on the hostile atmosphere of Sun Devil Stadium. For the record, a crowd of 61,495 was announced at the 71,706-seat stadium.
Yes, it was loud. But it was hardly an SEC environment. I would guess Utah will probably be louder next season.

Around The Pac

Washington State is going to allow fans to choose its uniforms for its homecoming game against Stanford next month. In that spirit, maybe USC will let fans call plays for its homecoming game.

Upstairs, Downstairs

It is time to revisit the issue of whether USC would be better off with an offensive coordinator calling plays from the pressbox with Lane Kiffin managing the game from the sidelines.
So few programs have the head coach call plays these days and USC’s most successful period occured when Norm Chow was upstairs and Pete Carroll downstairs with the right to change plays.
Even Kiffin admitted a couple weeks ago that it is a “burden” to call plays and be the head coach at the same time. I can’t imagine USC would be worse off with an arrangement that included a coordinator calling plays while Kiffin directed from the sideline.
