USC is ranked 117th out 120 teams in penalties with 31 in three games. Troy leads the nation with 37. Quarterback Matt Barkley is ranked 16th in passing efficiency (161.17). The rushing defense is ranked 42nd, allowing 120.67 yards per game.
That's right Bit$#es. That's because we arrogant. Check out an expert from the best blog on the subject:
"I wasn’t planning on writing any USC stories until Thursday or Friday when I drop my Arrogant Game Preview for the frozen battle in Minnesota, but when I realized the Lane Kiffin 2010 Trojans lead the country in penalties, I got so fired up I literally broke my desk lamp and then beat up the nearest intern. After he hit the floor, I told him I hit him because I loved him and I was making him tougher. I think long term, he’ll understand.
240 yards of penalties in two games, tied for the lead with Arizona State, who’s mascot looks like a pedophile on Halloween. Check it out."

We moved up 3 spots from last: WooHoo! Rushing defense will gain ranking against lowly Wazoo. Fight On Matt!
The Trojan defense is supposed to be trained as an NFL defense. OK so the spread effs with their minds. However, Minneasota basically ran an NFL offense, and my hat is off to the Gopher OC. Trojans would stop Minny butt cold on 1st and 2nd; And Minny would come back on 3rd down with a counter to the previous plays. Beautiful!! (How come we don't have any counter plays?) As the Trojans were beating their chests and celebrating on the previous stops. The Minny crowd would yelling on the next play (3rd down) "Its Another Gopher First Down". I mean these were some 3RD AND LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGS.
