Ah yes... one of those SEC teams who plays the vaunted SEC-style defense... I think USC put 70 points on the scoreboard in three quarters... and had 4 touchdowns in their first 8 plays in the first quarter.
I think I could score on most SEC defenses.
"Ah yes... one of those SEC teams who plays the vaunted SEC-style defense... "
Your boys are going to have a much tougher time against one of the best defenses in the country, come January 4. Oh, and we also have one of the best offenses!
USC gave up 42 points to a WAC team, for crying out loud. That alone should eliminate them from consideration for the Rose Bowl. They'll score some points against Texas, but won't be able to contain Vince Young.
USC has a great offense, but an average, or perhaps below average, defense. And I'm not all that impressed with Texas and their weak-sister schedule. The two best teams in the country at this point in the season may well be LSU and Penn State. But since the media annointed USC and Texas before the season started, we won't get a chance to find out. We need a playoff badly.-
Does Reggie have your vote this year?
--Reggie's 1,398 rushing yards is the most by a Trojan since Marcus Allen ran for 2,427 in his Heisman year of 1981
--In USC's three games against ranked foes this year (including two top 10 teams) Bush is averaging 192 yards and 9.93 yards per carry, with six TDs (including touchdown runs of 36, 45, 45 and 50 yards).
--In those games against ranked foes, he averaged 348 all-purpose yards per game
--With 2,338 all-purpose yards, Reggie has already surpassed his all-purpose yardage from last season, with two games to play....he has a good shot at the USC single-season record of 2,683 all-purpose yards set by Marcus Allen in 1981
--Reggie has 6,065 all-purpose yards in his three-year career, the most in a three-year career in NCAA history (surpassing Herschel Walker)
--That total is also the second-most in USC history behind only Charles White (6,545 yards)
He has tied the NCAA record for most seasons with 2,000 or more all-purpose yards (two, tied with 11 other players)
--After just three years, he is 19th all-time in NCAA history in all-purpose yardage....if Reggie were to return for a fourth year, he would be less than 1,200 yards from the all-time NCAA all-purpose yardage career mark held by Ricky Williams (7,206)
--Reggie is on pace for 2,763 all-purpose yards, which would be the fourth-best single-season mark in NCAA history.
--Reggie's 513 all-purpose yards against Fresno State was the second-most in NCAA history in a single game and just 65 yards off the record of 578 set by Emmett White of New Mexico State in 2000.
(note: it is much harder to put up 513 all-purpose yards than 500 yards of total offense, as Vince Young did. The passing yardage part of total offense is clearly easier to come by)
--Bush's seven 100-yard games this season are the most by a Trojan back in a season since Ricky Ervins had eight in 1989.
--He is averaging 10 yards every time he touches the ball in 2005
--He is now eighth on the prestigious all-time USC career rushing yardage chart with 2,827 yards and is averaging an incredible 7.1 yards per carry in his career. The only players ahead of him on this chart are four Heisman winners, two Heisman runners up and teammate LenDale White (by just 54 yards).
--Reggie's 513 yards outgained the greatest offense in history, which put up 508 yards
