Carroll On The Loss
``We will always have a target on our back. It's very difficult and every week you have to go out and play beautiful football. If you don't, than you are giving the football away and that makes it very difficult. I am disapointed in the uncharacteristic play where we are not taking the ball off our opponents.''

You suck Coach Carroll!
Sincerely,
Your friend Karl

DO NOT PASS WITH 2+ YARDS FOR 2 PTS. WHEN YOU JUST GOT THE 2+ YARDS WITH THE LAST EXTRA POINT SITUATION.

Pete-You've done a super job with the Trojans,but everything runs in cycles and I feel you will see the handwriting on the wall and soon return to the NFL,it's just a feeling I have.Don (USC,Class of 1951)

More excuses from Pete. Last year's team had a target on their back 10X's bigger than this year's team. The difference, their heart was 10X's bigger as well.

Robert: Its not Bill Walsh College Football...OSU was stacking the front to take away the run on the second two point play....If you noticed, JD audibled to the run on the first conversion attempt because of the defensive alignment.

Right now I think PC should stop worrying about talking to the press.
Don't pass for 2 point conversions
If you are at the other teams 7 yard line you have to come away with some points
don't have your KR take it out from 8 yards in the end zone
The list goes on and on..If a RB has been fumbling alot, take him out. Where are all these penalties coming from? What is Nick Holt doing, watching "Dancing with the stars" on the sidelines? How can the third string OSU RB get 100 yards? What would of happened if Bernard would of been in there?
Total, complete mess of a football team. PC's got alot of work to do so they don't get run off the field by the Bears or ND.

The writing was on the wall each week when PC would comment "We're 6-0 and I feel pretty good about we're we've gotten this year." He knew his team was going to lose at least once this year, likely more. You don't lose as many people to the NFL and come back to play to the national championship. I will agree the coordinators are making more mistakes than a high school football team. You could get away with that when your talent level was high (Leinart, Bush, White, Jarrett, Smith) but no longer. The team has gotten worse as the year has gone on, and the only reason we put 31 on the board was due to a softer defense by OSU. Even if we had pulled a miracle and won the game we would not have deserved it. We've been over-rated all season and PC has been alluding to next year as our year all along.
Still a Trojan fan regardless, Fight On!!!
