lemme get this straight since i watched the game closely and missed a few things
Trojans coughed up 4 loogies
Beavs dropped a punt, i guess thats not turnover its something else entirely, which jumpstarted usc's comeback, w/o it i think we all agree this game isnt close at end
beavs missed 2 FGs (one after being on 3yd line) and didnt get shot for long possible clincher b/c of offsides ... and Serna won the Groza so for him to miss 2 fgs is prob "unlucky" for Beavs
beavs had 2nd and inches at GL where guy mightve even scored, then for some innane reason tried to pass and settled for a FG
Smith was clearly OB, never heard U-know-who try to denounce that, had it been reversed Melvin Belli woulda been on a USC retainer
and yes Beavs had a impudent punt return but does that mean all the huge PRs Reggie Bush ever had for USC didnt count, were tainted, were lucky, and not coached? what exactly is point of including a disclaimer for a special teams score when Beemer Univ. or Canes in heyday made a living off it and huge reason for their success? Don James, one of the best coaches i have ever seen, once told me to my face, there are 3 phases of a fball game: off/D/Spec. teams, at the UW I think if we can win the special teams, b/c we work extra hard on it, and split on the other two, we can be competitive in any game we play.
I dunno, I guess Im confused, :thinking:
