Does USC throw many passes over the middle or is that considered too risky for ``a young team?'' Everything seems to go wide or down the sideline.

This goes back to the excuse factor that has permiated this program since Kiffin took over. Last year it was, "we don't have depth," this year it is, "we are young and playing freshman." Either way it adds up to the fact that Kiffin and the old man are not making the adjustments needed to win games. In the words of Einstein, "Insanity is the result of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome."

Yes. And in college football, you have to account for the QB. The Tampa 2 doesn't, it assumes all QB's are like Kerry Collins, have feet of clay, and sit in the pocket all day.
