Start Stat

Everson Griffen became the first true freshman to start an opener on the defensive line since Tim Ryan in 1986 against Illinois.
Shaun Cody was the last true freshman to start on the defensive line when he started the Las Vegas Bowl in 2001.

Hopefully all the potential recruits out there are paying attention. The Best Play!

The most impressive stat from the Idaho game is the reemergence of John Redcorn. I thought you said after last year's Oregon State game you weren't coming back? Guess I'll have to spend another half of a football season correcting your ridiculous commentary.

The best play once everyone is injured!!

Gimp On!

hahaha...AMEN PH55

Redcorn, REELBRUIN and the rest are like head lice..you think their gone but damn it, they are back again!!

I am not sure if they are unemployed or just this desperate to post unoriginal hate on a USC board that they do this. Hell I could sit on ND Irish boards all day and have a great time making fun of those retards..but I have self respect.

PH55,

I consummated my promise that I was "done" following the Trojans last year after the Oregon State game.

I didn't follow them from that OSU game in October till AFTER the Rose Bowl, thus I was away from Scott' blog.

Once the signing period ended, I was back on the SC bandwagon!

So yea, I didn't come back after Oregon State.

BUT....hell, we are #1....so of course I would come back.

Not coming back pertained to the 2006 season, but if we lose one this year because of that crappy QB Booty....I will cheer for Ben Olson and company from that point on!!!

If my memory serves me correct, Everson did not start the game. Kyle Moore and Lawrence Jackson did. He did get in awfully quickly though.

Phrozen06, sorry to be a nit-picker, but your memory is incorrect. I particularly remember #93 lining up at DE for the first play after kickoff. I was surprised (expecting him to be the pass rush specialist) and thinking Kyle Moore must be really pissed. It may have lit a fire, because Kyle had a pretty good game (a couple tackles, a pass deflection, and a sack/fumble recovery). #93 got shut-out.

Its good to see Redcorn has so much more knowledge than any college football analyst in the country who thinks very highly of JDB and not only that is the stereotypical LA bandwagon fan. I'm sure has all sorts of Bruin gear from the 8 years they beat us and then had to go out and buy some Trojan gear over the past few years.

AlwaysBeatND, I'm pretty sure Kyle Moore was listed as the defensive starter, whether or not he was in on the first play.

Of course being deemed the starter at USC doesn't mean a whole lot since so many players get into the rotation.

Is Tim Ryan the same one who announces NFL games for Fox? If I'm NOT mistaken he played for Atlanta. He's a lawyer(criminal?) and practices in Atlanta.
Thnx

Tim Ryan, yes, he announces for Fox. He's also on the Sirius Sat. Radio show called:
Moving The Chains. He played for the Bears 1990-1003.
Thank you
