Did You Know?

Stanford quarterback Tavita Pritchard called his own play on the 4th-and-20 completion where it looked like Keith Burns returned as USC's defensive coordinator.
``Coach called a play but I couldn’t hear it because it was so loud,’’ Pritchard said. ``Don’t tell him I said this, but I called my own play. I think it was similar if I heard him right. I saw the coverage I wanted and Sherm made a great play.’’

i wanna know what happened on that winning td. Same call but single coverage? Did safety fail to help?

sounds like we were outcoached or some guys missed assignments. Anyway, Mozique is like our 4th string cb...why is he covering Bradford?

the zone kills us again

Good for Pritchard, he can hang his hat on this win for the rest of his life. To know he called his own play is remarkable. Even our safety, Ellison, drilled the receiver on this play...he was airborne, timing it perfectly (so not to get a BS p.i. penalty like a few passes earlier!), and the reciever held on.

I know the defense is solid, but it lacks the big playmaker who gets that crucial sack or int. Where is the speed and monsterous ability of Taylor Mays? or is it lack of D play calling that "bends but doesnt break"!?!?!?

I can't stand SC's defensive slogan of "bend but dont break" mentality. It shows in every game when we give up large chunks of passing yards in one or two drives EVERY game regardless of their talent level. I thought PC's schemes this year were supposed to be more complex and tougher for QBs to throw into?>?? Each QB in each game this year has proven that if you got your head on straight for the whole game you will find all the right HUGE holes in our crappy zone coverage at some point in the game. SC's secondary D FINALLY got EXPOSED for what it is: Soft and slow to react
