`He Seemed Tired'
USC coach Pete Carroll said the pre-game buildup surrounding Joe McKnight affected the freshman tailback.
``I thought he got thru it. He seemed tired to me (from the buildup),'' Carroll said.

If Joe can play like Reggie, I may have to take that into consideration when laying down big ones on Saturdays when the Trojans play.
However, I'd laugh if Sam Keller plays well like that first half in 2005 at Tempe...then we are screwed, unless you plan to bet on Nebraska!

Great, John's back.
I'm not that worried about Nebraska.
Or ND (because they are very, very bad) or UCLA (Olsen looked good but I'd have to say that Stanford will go winless in the conference and the Bruins D gave up 300+ passing yards).
I am worried about Cal (they brought it yesterday) and, for some reason, UW (the OSU game of this season).

The reason the Bruin Defense gave up 300+ yars in the air is because Ostrander threw the ball 59 times.
That adds up.

You should be worried about Nebraska. They have a national-championship-caliber team and you're going into their place.
If Sam Keller has half the first half that he did in 2005, Nebraska is going to blow USC out so bad that the aftershock will be felt for the rest of the season.

13-9-4-life (should really be 13-9-4-one year) had be interested till he said this...
"They have a national-championship-caliber team"...
BWAH! Nebraska isn't even picked to win their own conference. Don't overstate for effect.

You mean like Michigan was picked to win the Big 10?

No, I mean like USC 2005 was picked to be the best team of all time. OOPS.
Vince Young single-handedly destroyed that entire team. He played for Texas, a Big XII team.

That 2005 team destroyed UCLA. Badly, too.
UCLA was supposed to be "turning the corner" that season. OOPS!!

What does UCLA have to do with Vince Young making USC's defense look like a bunch of kids picked out of a Van Nuys playground?
Oh, my name? I'm a Texas fan, sorry. I just revel in USC's failures and 13-9 last season had to be the best one I have ever seen with the national title on the line in the last week of the season.

Hey Redcorn and 13-9-4-Life, why don’t you remind everyone what happened to Arizona State and Sam Keller in the second half of that game in Tempe?...
...and then you can remind everyone what that same USC team did to UCLA (hint, hint...it was a little more than 13-9).

What bowl did Texas play in last year. 13-9?
Without VY the Horns are just Stoop's girlfriend.
No teams in the BCS era have played in 5 straight BCS bowls. Oh, wait except 'SC!

13-9 for nothing:
Didn't Florida State kick UCLA's rear in some ding-dong bowl? USC played in the Rose Bowl>rest my case...
