Stafon is USC's best back hands down. USc should consider using him like OU used Adrian Peterson.
Chauncey should be the spell back for Stafon to give him the occasional rest. Stafon should get the bulk of the carries.
Stafon - 20-25 touches
Chauncey - 8-10 touches
Joe - 7-10 touches (at WR and RB)

How about Allen Bradford? The guy has been in only a few times, but makes big plays.
He has great hands and speed. And I think he's a better back than Joe McKnight. #4 scored in garbage time.
Let's see more #21, or we may see him playing for Florida next season!

I think Chauncey needs to be phased out of the RB situation....Hes capable at the short yardage/goal line stuff but other than that we need Stafon, Joe-Mac, and AB in this mix. I hope Allen B sticks around because next year could be his breakout year with Chauncey and HD gone. I don't understand why PC chooses not to use him more often in the offense with his speed/power combo and aggressive style.
Stafon-Joe-Allen-CW in that order

So, you fixed the special teams, that’s fine. Tell me how you deal with the best O-line you have seen all year, a special kind of freak called J-stew and the most elusive and efficient QB in the Pac10. OK I’ll anticipate your response: Oregon’s D. is ranked lower than USC’s. How does Oregon plan to stop Booty or Sanchez or who ever Carrol plugs in? I say it doesn’t matter. The game will come down to this. USC can not out score UO at Autzen. The Oregon D. is far better than its record. It may allow some yards but it bears down when it counts, it takes the ball away when it has to, and it bows its back in the red zone. So bring it on USC I can’t wait till kick off!!!
PS. please let Booty play on Saturday. I really want to see the “My Dixon- Your Booty” Shirts. Not sure what that means but it sounds funny.

Duckman, we OWN Jonathan Stewart! Take a look at his past numbers against us...I think you will find they are mostly in the 30-40 yards a game range...what a special kind of freak! As for Dixon, while the guy is awesome and I realize he is much better this year, last year against our exact same defense he completed 15 of 23 passes for 130 yards with one interception. Ooh, scary! Our defense (which is just hitting its stride) will be the difference, and Dixon is ripe for one of those mid-late season meltdowns!
See ya in Autzen, should be a great game. Best of luck.

Greengables, Stats are bogus. Stewart played injured most of last year and keep holding your breath for a Dixon melt down. If that’s your game plan you guys are in big trouble dude.

Greengables,
I'm glad you are coming to the game. If USC is up by Half time I will treet you to a good-ol Northwest beer. I will be the guy with the green and yellow hat.

Bring it on,SC!! I was able to observe the Duck VS Husky debacle in Seattle Sat. eve...and it was like...Okay, that's enough...and cough! cough!...the GANGGREEN machine left those puppies in the dust!! Even with the wide ranging and season ending injuries...it's like the Ducks become more polished and confident...and the shine is ON!!! SEE YA At AWESOME AUTZEN!!

USC will play its best game of the year. Oregon will be held to under 20 points. Dixon will struggle, Stewart will go no where ... and the uniforms will still be hideous.
FIGHT ON!!

I like how uscmike thinks...Duckmann should be forced to return here and eat some crow if this happens. I predict a 37-34 USC victory, but Ducks will likely be ahead at the half, saving D-man here from paying out on his beeer bet....

First off...you got to love anyone whose screen name is “Duckmann91"! I am definitely more worried about the Oregon Game than the CAL Game (Autzen Stadium is the hardest place to play in the Pac 10)...but USC is starting to get healthy and the team is starting to run on all cylinders...while the Ducks are a little dinged up. So we are definitely catching the Ducks at the right time! I expect SC to grind out a tough victory on the road.
