Shotgun Fever
USC coach Pete Carroll said he was surprised someone said he implemented the shotgun because of fumbled snaps.
``We want to give the quarterback more time,'' Carroll said.
Actually, we thought it was because of tipped passes and the fact the Trojans no longer feature 6-5 quarterbacks.

Comments
Strange...no disrespect to you Wolfy but I thought you were the source of the comment about fumbled snaps. But, if you'd rather take the stance that Carroll implemented the shotgun because of tipped passes than I can roll with that too.

The idea of using Shotgun to give our shorter QB's more time and space comes from coach Sark who said it during an interview about a month and a half ago.

A Shotgun offense is not as simple as it looks. It looks great with W.Va, however, you have a coach that has many years of experience. You also need a very good short snapping Center. I am wondering who on USC's staff has experience with this offense?
