USC has the better offense, Texas has the better defense. Which one will dominate, or will it come down to special teams?

Much has been made about the Longhorn's advantage in special teams. But getting USC to punt this year hasn't been easy.

If anything, the Longhorns will get a lot of chances to return kickoffs tonight.

I'm pulling for UT, but I just hope this game is as good as last nights game.

That's why they 'play the game'.

All of the hype and talk is fun but I'm just ready for some hitting!

Tee it up and kick it! and let the Trojans fall where they may.

Best way to beat USC is to follow Notre Dame's plan earlier this year. Dink and Dunk, run the ball, and (the main thing) keep USC's offense off the field.

ND had the ball for 30 plus minutes in the game, USC was around 20 minutes, and lest we forget, it took Reggie Bush pushing Leinart across the goal line for USC to win. Oh, and ND blowing two golden chances in the middle of the game.

keep USC's offense off the field.

That was W Va's strategy in their bowl (I think it was anyway) and they beat GA.... GA scored at will when they did have the ball.

I've talked to several folks who say they like Texas, and follow that up with, "...if they can stop Reggie Bush."

Easy to say. Tough to do.

Oh they can stop Reggie Bush, and then let Leinart burn them. Name your poison.

Reggie Bush admits that he can be stopped. "Just put four people on me."

Yeah, that would work...

yeah, SC's punter has only like 30 punts on the season, less less than 3 per game. That's amazing in itself.

Texas was the only team in the top 10 in offense and defense. I just don't see USC losing this one.

The problem for Texas is that it's the Vince Young Show.

With USC it's the Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, and Dwayne Jarrett Show.

It's about five hours until Showtime!

Don't forget LenDale White... who has broken the all-time USC scoring mark... in two years.

And if you stop everyone else... don't forget Steve Smith and Dom Byrd... who would be THE star on most other teams, and can nary get a mention when discussing the Trojan offense.
