Will Rivers be available for Arizona St.?

Which high profile recruits do you think USC will land?

So is the Ceasar dynasty still over, as you reported, even if we end up winning the Pac 10 and ending the year in the top 5?

Wow, what a jerk to insult someone giving the public inside information about a team that many people wouldn't be able to get any other way. Now to the question: now that Dennis Dixon is out of Oregon's picture, what are the odds USC can bring home another PAC 10 title, in other words, do you think USC will win out and UO lose to OSU?

Yes I think USC will win out and it doesn't look like Oregon can beat anyone without Dennis Dixon.

Since the Oregon game, there's been a decrease in the stupid penalties (late hits, blocks in the back, etc.)committed, but it continues to be an issue. Because these type of mental mistakes have been so devastating this year, often keeping opposing drives alive after big defensive stops or negating big punt/kick returns, have you observed a heightened effort among the staff addressing this lack of discipline. How would you address it?

How close is Pete Carroll to a deal with the Oakland Raiders to be their next head coach?

Hey Scott:

As a kid, were you a football fan, and did you root for USC? Was USC your favorite college football team? If not, who else? I'm just curious about how far back your USC allegiance goes.
Thanks for the site, and open forum.

What's the deal with you always ranking WV like it's an elite team?

Scott,

Since you have now posted a video interview with Caesar, when are you going to post a video interview with our favorite subject Mitch Mustain? While he may have a lot of positive things written about him in the media, he's still a mystery to most and an extended interview will go a long way in satisfying people's wants.

Keep up the rest of your good work on your blog!

Who are the top three on your Heisman Trophy ballot?

Scott, you've mentioned Carswell and Williams having a bigger role at WR next year, but what about Travon Patterson? How is his rehab going, wasn't he performing very well in spring practice, and couldn't he be the solution next year for our lack of a deep game? Of course, that means that we have to have a QB who can actually throw the deep ball, as our consistent misses to RoJo this year painfully illustrate. I know we are supposed to be limited to one, but if you have time to answer two....I haven't seen any other TEs catch passes this year....whose in line to be 1st string TE next year, and how much of a fall-off will they be from Freddie D? Thanks Wolfie!

I bet that Blake Ayles challenges for major playing time from day one!

I know Pat Ruel said he would be back next year, should we expect any big changes in the coaching staff?

Scott -

From what you've observed in practice, does Mitch Mustain have any issues with either staring down or locking on a receiver? I know this has been a major issue with Sanchez and, to a lesser and much more infrequent extent, with Booty, so I'm curious if Mustain is an improvement in this area or whether he suffers from the same problems.

usual suspect from DC:
Get used to it Mark Sánchez 2008 USC QB>IT>end of the story...

You mentioned Coach Carroll attended multiple games in the same day this past weekend. Does he typically stay the entire game and talk to the coaches and/or players he's scouting?

Scott, how can you rank Texas #4 in the country when their record pretty clearly demonstrates that they are probably only the 4th best team in their conference?

Any thoughts on the number of injuries to key players this year. Particularly in the Pac-10, and to QB's? Clearly this problem has affected the way the year has progressed, USC seems to have recovered the soonest and is on the uprise.

Pat Haden was one. Who were the other USC Rhodes Scholar athletes?

remember Oregon still has to lose 1 more game before we are in the Rose Bowl...although I agree they look like crap without Dixon so it could happen

just saying we are not guaranteed the spot yet

Anyway...

Scott what would you see as the result on the coaching staff, team, and USC if they lose to Ohio st. in the Rose bowl? Would we be ranked next year?

Would an accurate job description for Yogi Roth be "He serves no other purpose at USC other than being Brennan Carroll's friend"?
