Q: Trojans Rule said:
Scott, what were the couple of calculated errors that PC refers to in his pre game scheming?
If you don't know , could you ask him please--and thanx for the special forum.
All of my other questions have already been asked here.
A: He referred to the positioning of some players in the front seven. He doesn't want to divulge exactly where he wanted players to be because hates letting other coaches know his strategy (even if it is bad strategy).
Q: HANDICAPPED PARKING said:
What is PC's mood now, like angry, humbled, confused or ????????? Thank you, Scott
A: He was not happy by his standards on Saturday night but by Sunday was back to his usual self. I think he did a lot of analyzing late Saturday on what went wrong and that's when he decided he overschemed for the game and had players too worried about what they were doing. Now let's see if they can play freely against Arizona State. And if it works.
Q: Brad'03 said:
Which of the following is more likely to happen in 2010:
A) Aaron Corp will transfer from USC to another university.
B) Max Nikias will become the president of USC.
Answer: I vote for B. This almost seems like a set-up with the search committee to select Sample's successor. One of the members is Sample's pal, Warren Bennis, who taught a class with Sample at USC. I think they will make sure his hand-picked choice, Nikias, becomes the next president. And from what I hear, that could be an abrasive choice.
Those players were WAY over-thinking things out there. Instead of shedding blocks and tackling whoever was in front of them, they just danced around and waited until they were sure the guy running past them had the ball - and by then, of course, it was too late.

You know more FB than I do my friend. I have a couple of ?'s;
1. Is it too late for PC to switch Mays to LB?
2. If NOT should he(Mays) had been used(aggressively) as the SPY at the LOS against OR/Masoli?
Thanks
I used to work for Max, and he does not strike me as a University President Type, whatever that means. He is more approachable and pragmatic, being an engineering guy probably makes that more so than not.
This is probably a very meaningful change in leadership.
