USC coach Pete Carroll didn't offer any special explanation for C.J. Gable's exclusion from the second half.
``We were just mixing the other guys in,'' Carroll said.

Its time to stop mixing in RB's. The best (and hottest) RB's are CJ and Stafon. No need to throw Desmond out there any longer. If Chauncey truly has his head on straight (and is healthy), then mix him in, otherwise go with what is really producing (CJ and Stafon). If CJ had gotten more reps, then he would have broke the century mark also. I want to see Joe McKnight as much as anybody does, but right now CJ and Stafon look and are producing they way everyone thought that they could.

I know its 2007, but what's going to happen in 2008, when Green and Tyler are healthy and Joe has year under his belt? I love watching CJ and Stafon run, and if they can keep this up, how can you not give them the rock, each about 10 to 15 times game. And just wait till the passing game gets in to full swing.

Fight On!

Is it just me, or does someone need to teach this tailbacks that occasionally you just freaking run fast and don't worry about trying to make more cuts. There were at least three long runs that I think could have been 10-15 yards longer if they weren't busy slowing down to try to put more moves on people. And come on, can we for once please play a complete game on defense..Nebraska should have never scored that many points or thrown for that kind of yardage.

Hey T4L, apparently you missed the fact that the D starters weren't responsible for the last 100-150 yds and 2 TDs that Keller got in garbage time.

Its good that Carroll puts the young guys in at a hostile roadie to get them more experience - just in case they have to come in earlier in a game later in the season.

If you're refrring to the first 1.5 quarters, that's just our bend don't break style that has worked for years. We make adjustments later and don't let teams beat us on the deep ball early. Good game planning all around...

I realize it was our b-string players, but let's not kid ourselves about crowd noise and hostile environment being factors that late ina blow-out. You saw the blimp shots just like everyone else did at the end of the game, 3/4 of the crowd was out on Interstate 80 heading home. What bothers me the most is that we can take an impressive win and make it look like a competitive game on paper.

T4L, the game's played on the field, not on paper. There's no point in fixating over your spit-shined shoes if they fit so tight you can't walk. Substance over style. I hope you can enjoy the rest of the season, though I doubt you will if you didn't see the Nebraska game for what it really was, to hell with the 'paper': total domination.

With all of this talk of CJ, Chauncey and Stafon, what happened to Hershel Dennis? I thought I saw him in street clothes on the sideline? Did I miss an injury? Can someone tell me why he hasn't seen the field?
