Yeah....well Oklahoma had a "Superior" defense last year as well, remember it was the best USC had ever faced with their big stud lineman that just got crushed by SC's O-line.>>>
I cannot for the life of me remember a soul saying that. I do however remember talk about OU's pass defense being among the worse in the nation. Oh well history is written by the winners I guess.
ESPN Game Day was saying that OU's D-Line w/ Tommie Harrison(????) and Cody were just to big and fast for USC's O-Line the very day of the game.

Then you're blind as well as deaf and dumb. Every media talking head in creation was lauding Oklahoma as the greatest team of all time. Too big, too fast, too physical, too well-coached, too savvy for USC, who, it was hoped, would at least go down fighting so as to avoid too big an embarrassment for the soft, weak Pac 10 that doesn't play defense.
Craig James, Mr. Potatohead (Aaron Taylor), Kirk Herbstreit, Trev Albert, and Mark May all lined up behind Oklahoma,just to name a few. Right up to the pre-game festivities on ESPN and ABC. Herbstreit went so far as to say he thought it would be over in the second quarter. As it turned out he was right, but not for the team he thought. About the only one who picked USC was Lee Corso, and probably only to be contrarian and stir the pot.
The post game show with all those hacks ponying up to the dinner table with egg dripping off their faces to dine on their New Year's helping of crow was too priceless to be believed.
And it's all on tape, so don't say it didn't happen.
