The Miami D is much better than you may think Dave. Give it a couple of games and you will see. For starters, 13 of FSU's points were off of an interception and two long field goals. Also, UM was missing four starters on Defense. The Noles came out with a lot of passing in the first half, but they were dinky short passes that the Cane secondary were willing to give up. The Noles only rushed for about 20 yards in the first half. Strangely, they picked up the rushing in the 2nd half but Ponder's passing went to hell. In either case, Miami's D will do much better against a GA Tech or Oklahoma in Miami.

I hope the buckeyes can put on a better showing this year against the trojans than years past. They have the talent, they just need to put it all together.

You might be the only one in the whole world who thinks the D is good right now, loool.

They looked worse than last year...more like the defense in 2007. Sam Shields (#9), who converted from WR to Corner, started above other people who have started and did well in the pass and he was SMOKED over and over again, and he's the fastest person on the team. He just doesn't know how to cover. There were a lot of missed assignments because of him.

FSU racked up over 400yds of offense. No matter how good our offense is, the defense can't let that many points occur.

I seriously doubt anyone here follows them as closely as I do and came in with expectations -- like everything though even if FSU's line is solid, our DLine was thought to be good enoguh to get penetration, yet we got little to no pressure on Ponder other than the four or so times we blitzed the whole game (including the last couple plays)...but that's it. I follow recruiting and everything and a part of a few various UM boards that I regularly post on too.

Fight on SC, Fight on! Gameday...beat the bukeyes!

is there any doubt? whats the spread on this game, i'd take USC at 14. i mean san jose st held them the first half last week didnt they? and it is at the horseshow, and they do have a true freshman as QB and terrell pryor has gotten better with the extra year?

oh ya i forgot OSU cant win the big one.

GO UT!!

It being @ OSU really evens the game out.

OSU is known to play down to their competition sometimes, so I would take what you saw last week with a grain of salt.

I am also sure they showed very little, if anything, of their true offense to save it for USC and not give them any idea. Especially any new wrinkles they've added.

USC hast he better overall talent, but I could see OSU winning given it being where it is and other factors as well.

7 point favorites at OSU...San Jose State held SC to 28 first half points.

Argh! Ugh!

A good game this year at least.

Congrats to SC. Freshman QB showed great poise.

TROJANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barkley better learn to throw outs accurately or he is gonna get pick-sixed a lot when he's up against a defense with quick covermen.

And the new OC needs to mix up the offense more. It's very vanilla. A good DC will be able to blow up his gameplans easily if he doesn't do so.

What a huge and exciting win at the Horseshoe! Fight On Trojans!!!!! USC Victory!
