USC reminds me of Miami without the felon type atmosphere. They have speed that only Florida schools can copy, they are explosive and they can disrupt your defense with their pass rush and blitzes. They lost to Texas last year because they didn't game plan well enough for Vince Young. Otherwise, they would have back to back outright championships with a split on the third. I expect that they will contend for the next two years then drop off most likely for recruiting or booster infractions.
USC's defense wasn't good for most of last year. Remember even Fresno State hung 42 on USC's D.

Very true and Pete Carroll won't tolerate it. They are also big and physical as well as quick. The defense is brutal just like the Baltimore Ravens. They lost to Texas on a few bad calls and some lost focus.R Bush lateraling the ball away and the non call on the Bing/Cushing fumble recovery prevented that game from turning into a complete USC romp. Even with the turn out Frostee Rucker dropping into coverage on 4th and goal was key too.
They run a pretty clean program and may not have recruiting trouble. Winning like they do is the greatest recruiting inducement.
